Anyone own/drive a Focus ST-line 125bhp?

Drive, lease or own? Basically in the 125bhp flavour.

What's it like, dull or a good steer as they say?

Any downsides etc.

It is a nice car to drive, in ST-line trim the suspension can be a little bit hard but not too harsh over bad (German not British) surfaces. The engine does its job and has that typical 3 cyl. character, but some colleagues say that with 155 hp it performs much better (I cannot personally confirm this point).

The main issue I had with the one I drove is that I could not find the way to completely disconnect the "lane assist" system and that made the steering feel unnatural in many circunstances.

Also, if you are used to "premium" interiors, the one in the Ford is nothing special but at least they have not gone 100% touchscreen.

Working in Ford dealership, The Focus drives very well however the 125ps does feel a little underpowered in a Focus, it is a great in Fiesta. I would recommend the 155ps.
