I imagine so! I imagine my Titanium with the 18"/handling package splits the difference. If I didn't have any suspension or chassis modifications on the Mach the Titanium would out handle it! Good little cars!

My wife's Titanium AWD Fusion is a darn fine handling ride as well, but I like my Focus a tab bit better.

Since the weather turned colder, I'm only getting about 24.7 and I try not to dip in too much because it affects it greatly and in a hurry. As far as tires go, I've got 8k on the car right now and all is well.

"Wolf Racing Ford Focus ST 370 Estate"




If you though the Ford Focus ST Estate had too much power for a family car, think again! German tuner Wolf Racing developed a three-stage kit to boost the hot-hatch’s performance and it's also been made available on the wagon, which made its debut at the Essen Motor Show 2013.

The first stage leaves the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine alone but messes up with the ECU and ads a new air filter. Power jumps from 250 HP (184 kW) and 265 lb-ft (360 Nm) to 285 HP (209 kW) and 326 lb-ft (440 Nm). Stage two adds a bigger turbo to the previous setup, increasing total power to 300 HP (220 kW) and 333 lb-ft (450 Nm).

But the car you see right here is full werewolf, the most powerful FWD estate around! The engine will squeeze out 370 HP (272 kW) and 409 lb-ft (554 Nm) for you to shred those front tires.

I will replace the focus st when the rebates hit the new mustangs. I will be getting a black gt vert.

Just hit 12k miles in the ST and I still love it. Still getting good mpg(24-28). No issues yet. Replaced two tires(on the rear). Still get people asking about it and lots of love from the hot hatch people.
