Pretty sure the ST will do a fine job of tearing backroads up. Hell, my SVT does a GREAT job at tearing backroads up. And if you look at the Focus RS / RS500 Ford has done a spectacular job at offering their focus line as much fun/overall performance as they have economic feasibility.
I've driven a MCS in anger. Not sure if the ST's magic revoknuckle really works but the understeering MCS was not my cup of tea. I also spent 2 days whipping rally prepped Fiestas around at Team O'Neils, which was also fun, but then we got in the AWD cars and I realized what I had been missing. But if that's your thing, enjoy the ST. It seems like a pretty good deal.
