It's not an ED35 ?
Just making a crazy observation
OK, I'll spell it out explicitly - with the Focus ST, you get fully kitted out Golf GTi Edition 35 capability and features for the price of a bare bones GTi.
What's to hate?
And I reckon that ST wagon looks absolutely, gobsmackingly awesome so we're obviously not going to agree on any of this

I've heard they're not selling the estate (wagon) version here only the hatch. Looks good though

I can't see them selling here either and I reckon that's a real shame (we got the stupid Kuga instead)

Just blends my love of hot hatches and fast wagons, without ending up looking like an emerging market hatchback + odd growth (see Indian Swift sedan, Chinese Polo sedan...). I was always going to get sucked in. Plus, it'll be good for the hot hatch market to have another heavy weight... it means better cars and choices i.e. faster, cheaper, more interesting Golf.

Finally another (reasonably affordable) performance wagon. At least to me the only competitor would be the Octavia vRS estate. Ashame they might not sell it here. Although even for me, the styling is a bit over done and I drive a DS3 :/

Maybe Volvo too, but probably not in the same price range. (dammit...something wrong with me, love a fast Volvo wagon, something so wrong and so right about them)

nah man you're not crazy, I think a C30 would be a cool, laid back hot-hatch and they come at a great price too.

My mum had a red 850R a few years back... hot wagons (particularly) Volvos are just awesome!!

Was on my short list before I got the VR, but we had an 850 in the fam' already. The 5cyl just has some wonderful harmonic pure, shame this ST Focus didn't get it.
