My son owns a 2016 Focus SE. I borrowed his car this past weekend and realized the driving dynamics were better than my Mustang. Driving straight was the biggest difference.
The stang finds it hard to drive straight. Today I confirmed it since there was no traffic to work. I feel more comfortable with two hands on 9 and 3 positions. The Focus was so easy to maneuver with just my left hand. No wrestling the steering wheel.
The difference in tire size between the Stang and Focus is substantial. I wonder if the width is what's affecting the driveability. I believe the stang tends to track more. The stang is running Continental Extreme Contact 275/35 front and 275/40 rear. The Focus is running stock 215/50 all around. The wheels are staggered on the stang 20x9 front and 20x10 rear. The Focus has a square setup.
Any of you find yourselves wrestling the stang at hwy speeds?
