10. Ford Focus Wagon ST Diesel

In Europe there is still a Ford Focus wagon. But wait, it gets worse. That wagon is available with the full ST treatment found on theFord-Focus-Wagon-ST-Diesel-02.JPG five-door Focus sold on our shores. If things aren’t bad enough for us enthusiasts, for 2015 there will a manual transmission Ford Focus ST wagon with a diesel engine. Yes, it’s merely an all-wheel drivetrain away from being the perfect vehicle.

Although the 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine only makes 182 horsepower, like any good diesel, it’s crammed full of torque – a whopping 295 lb-ft. That is good for a 0-60 MPH time of 8.0 seconds and with 235 mm wide tires and the full ST suspension, this would be one fun wagon to take on a twisting mountain road.
