Thank you for your detailed explanation. It's FWD but far as handling goes can Focus come close to twins?(fun factor). You had chance to drive both. And I am sure you drove ST to it's limits. Thanks~~
I am thinking maybe I need to get out of my BRZ and get into either Fiesta or Focus ST. Did some research but I don't know what to do.. and I don't want to make a mistake by getting rid of BRZ..

I wouldn't say that I've driven the car to its limits. I have pushed it pretty hard on some back roads before though. It's fun. Very quick turn in and precise steering. Gearbox is nice and you know what gear you're in and when you get it. Very neutral handling and very little torquesteer.
As far as "fun" goes, I liked my FRS more in the way it was modded. The FRS was better suited for what I liked in a tuned car. However, stock for stock, I prefer the Focus ST slightly in all honesty. I also largely favor the ST in terms of every day practicality and ride comfort.
Not to say the FRS/BRZ is bad, cause it isn't. I just don't really enjoy the car much in stock form as it doesn't really have anything going for it to me.
ST is a great car. If you're more concerned about ride quality, practicality, and maybe having some more straight line grunt, ST all the way. If you're more concerned about the feeling of the chassis or the platform itself, BRZ. Out of the box though, I think the ST is a much better all around car.
