THERE is a certain thrum you hear as you travel in the Ford Focus ST Edition.

- BY MAGGIE BARRY

You can hear it burbling as you drive easily along the road, or you can put your foot down and hear it fill the road with sound as you work through the gears.

Either way, it is a clear signal that you have more than just a normal everyday compact car on your hands.

Indeed, this car is something of a legend and now is the time to snap one up since Ford are ending sales of it after this year.

It could be a good investment, too, since the ST Edition has only been introduced in this, its final year.

There is little to distinguish it from the normal Ford Focus until you look closely and see it sits just that bit lower on the ground, that it sports 19ins alloys, and massive Brembo brakes.
