While everyone is getting amped up about the pending arrival of the all-wheel-drive Focus RS, let’s not forget that its cousin the Focus ST is already here, and it’s a blast to drive in its own right.

It also means that when relegated to urban roads, it doesn’t realize its true potential,” Ford of Canada’s Social Media Manager/Blog Editor Ammar Khan writes. “We wanted to give it a chance to roar on an off-road course with a professional driver—and to let you see what it’s like in the passenger’s seat first-hand.”
