By comparison, the Volkswagen Golf GTD is a tad more expensive than the GTI. So what about the oomph these Focus ST compact hot hatchbacks boast with? Well, the 2.0 EcoBoost variant churns out 250 PS and 345 Nm of twist while emitting just 159 grams of CO2 per kilometer, while the TDCi counterpart makes do with 185 PS and 400 Nm and an even lower 100 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Fret not, petrol fans! By activating the overboost function, the EcoBoost Focus ST can provide a short blip of 360 Nm to the front wheels. Although both engines are Euro 6-compliant, only the TDCi comes with start and stop. Speaking of the green stuff, how do they stack up in terms of frugality?

Naturally, the 2015 Ford Focus ST 2.0 TDCi sips less fuel than the EcoBoost at 41.5 UK mpg (6.8 liters per 100 km) versus 67.3 UK mpg (4.2 liters per 100 kilometers). Of course, real-life figures will be marginally higher than what the Blue Oval says, but still, the Focus ST is fairly economical all things considered.

How do those two perform in terms of pulling power? Well, let's start with the five-door hatchback 2.0 EcoBoost - this baby can do the 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) stint in a mere 6.5 seconds and accelerates up to 154 mph (247 km/h). As for the Focus ST 2.0 TDCi turbo diesel, this one goes from 0 to 62 in 6.9 clicks all the way up to 135 mph (217 km/h). If you opt for the estate, add 0.2 seconds to those times.
