The 2012 Ford Focus ST has a rival in the form of the 2012 Vauxhall Astra VXR. EVO takes both to the track in order to compare and contrast lap times. Who do you think the winner will be? Both are front wheel drive and have very similar 0-60 times. There have never been more exciting hot hatchbacks on the market than there are now. Of course a track isn’t where we’ll spend most of our time but it’s a reasonable indicator of the point to point quickness of a car.
A subtle but worthwhile part of the grille treatment is the painting of
part of the grill at either end in the same color as the body wihich
prevents it being over done and is a nice touch.
