2006 Ford Focus ZX4 ST

Besides the available power moonroof, one of the unique options on the ZX4 is Preferred Suede and leather-trimmed sport seats (with Preferred Suede/leather trimmed door panels) that do a good job at helping keep you in position during cornering. Being well supported behind the wheel, they also add comfort over the long haul. The rear seat is a 60/40 split folding bench that dramatically improves storage capacity for awkward items as desired. New and standard for 2006 is a Convenience Package that includes speed control and Tilt/Telescoping steering wheel.


Music lovers are well rewarded in the Focus ZX4. New '06 features include a standard CD/MP3 format player, while the optional six-disc audio systems now have steering wheel-mounted controls. For the true audiophiles, a Sony audiophile system is also available.

The Fun Factor
So how much fun is the Focus ZX4 ST? Even the exterior colors are calculated to instill passion. (Hey, how can you not be passionate about new colors like Infra-Red Clearcoat, Liquid Grey Clearcoat Metallic and CD Silver Clearcoat Metallic—) Regardless, the color palette serves notice that Ford kept their eye on the target when they developed the ZX4 ST. From the neat exterior colors to the aggressive wheels and tires, from the responsive 2.3-liter engine to the slick manual transmission and tuned suspension, and from the available sport seats to the driver-oriented interior, the ZX4 ST aims to please the driving enthusiast. And at under $17,585 (D&D), it does so an extremely attractive price.
