The Focus ST is everything that the 86/BRZ isn't. Heavier, unbalanced, loaded with technology. Even offering enough extra power to offset the excess weight. The new hatchback is 3000lbs so the ST is at least that. It's also more practical, the Focus is a good 7-8 inches taller and has a fairly spacious interior for a compact.
The Mazda cousins are known for being more driver focused. But I like the Ford versions better. I was watching/waiting for the Ford Focus ecoboost but they went with ST versions instead and the premium Fords use their dual clutch 6spd automatic leaving the 5spd manual for the base and lower spec.
I haven't driven either one at all, yet. But the Focus is more of a corner carver than anything else available from Ford.
