My 2013 Ford Focus ST 5-door hatchback is being offered for sale for the first time since I purchased it new from Jack Demmer Ford in Wayne, Michigan on July 15, 2013.

What is a Focus ST?

The Ford Focus ST is a performance version of the regular Ford Focus. First available in North America for the 2013 model year, the car featured a more powerful turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, a dynamic sport-tuned suspension, bigger wheels and tires, a rear hatch wing, and unique front and rear bumper fascias.

In a press release dated June 11, 2012, Ford Motor Company had this to say about the 2013 Ford Focus ST:

“Pilots might call it the Focus with afterburners. Everyone else will call it really fast.

The new Ford Focus ST features a four-cylinder, direct-injected turbocharged engine with an “overboost” feature that extends peak torque for up to 15 seconds at a time.

The gains extend the peak torque from 3,000 rpm to 4,500 rpm, whereas other EcoBoost® engines would hit peak torque and begin to drop off at these higher engine speeds. This is the first overboosted Ford EcoBoost® engine sold in North America.

Ford engineers made sure the overclocked EcoBoost® 2.0-liter would have a very robust cooling system. “The turbo itself is specified for sustained, high-output performance, but they’ve programmed the car’s computer to dial in more boost past 3,000 rpm to give it that extra something,” says engineer Lisa Schoder, who is Marketing manager for Focus ST.

“We limit peak turbo boost to maintain a wide margin of safety and durability over the life of the car,” Schoder adds. “But overboost is cool in that it tweaks more acceleration through the turbo for brief periods for performance-hungry drivers.”

Among the more visible options will be the Tangerine Scream metallic color that will be offered exclusively on Focus ST, as well as race-inspired Recaro® seats with matching color accents.”

About My Car

For in-your-face visibility, I specifically wanted my Focus ST to have the “Tangerine Scream Metallic Tri-coat” paint, which was an extra-cost option on this car. The interior has super-supportive charcoal black leather Recaro bucket seats up front, and a 60/40 split fold-down black leather seat in the rear.The dash, carpets, and headliner are all black.

I’m the original owner, and I’m a non-smoking 49-year-old male who is a former Ford Motor Company employee.

This car is super-clean and straight. It is in perfect working order, and has always been impeccably maintained. The car has 58,800 miles on the odometer.

This is a FANTASTIC and FUN car to drive! It is beautifully balanced, and can be driven sedately, or with a little pressure on the gas pedal, in a more spirited fashion.

I have logged every fuel fill up since new in an Excel spreadsheet that will be given to the new owner. The car has returned an average of 28.7 mpg over the 39 months that I have owned it.

The car comes with all dealership paperwork, window stickers (the original and an unused reprint), and the full maintenance history.

Modifications

None. Zero. Zilch. Not a single performance modification has been made to this car. I used this car as my daily driver to and from my job at Ford Motor Company; I wasn’t racing the car, so I didn’t modify it at all. Besides, I have a life motto about Fords: “If it was good enough for Henry, it’s good enough for me!”

Special Notes

The passenger outside mirror was struck and damaged by another vehicle on November 17, 2014. That driver left the scene of the accident, but I had photographed his license plate and therefore filed a police report. I had the damaged mirror replaced with a brand new unit that was purchased from and installed by the selling dealer.

Title

I have in hand a clear Michigan title in my name, ready to transfer to the new owner.

Reason for Sale

I have recently moved from Michigan to NYC, and no longer need a daily driver. It’s time to let someone else enjoy this remarkable and fun car!
