2005 Ford Focus ZX4 ST

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

This is my second Focus. Yes it is a real ST. No, unfortunately, it does not have a turbo, but it is a 5 speed! The ZX4 ST was the successor to the SVT Focus. It has a 2.3l Duratec engine pushing 151 hp and 154 tq. Not the fastest, but sure makes for a lot of fun on the back-roads! I’ve taken this car everywhere and it is my wife and I’s favorite vehicle to travel in(her Escape gets terrible mileage). I don’t have many mods on it except for some tasteful visuals, an upgraded audio system, and a short shifter. Let me know what you think!

How is the engine? Is it a DOHC? I have absoultely no clue about Ford less-than-8 cylinders lol

Yeah DOHC aluminum block with an interesting bit of valve timing. It was originally Mazdas design and when they merged Ford put them in just about everything. Torquey AF for a four banger, new grippy tires and I can burn them all the way through first amd almost all the way through second. Not being nice to the car of course lol
