Stan Visnesky wanted to spice up his daily drive with a souped-up small hatchback. Rather than go for a more popular and pricey road rocket from Germany’s Volkswagen AG, Visnesky bought Ford Motor Co.’s Focus ST.
“It’s definitely a steal,” said Visnesky, 26, of Dettford, New Jersey. He paid $27,000 in December for his black Focus ST with racing seats and touch-screen controls. “For anything around the same specs, you’d be paying probably more than $30,000.”
