Much like the whole world full of other small and inconspicuous objects, the 2013 Ford Focus ST has more to it than initially meets the eye. This midsized passenger car is not only packed with generous features (for an economy class of vehicle), but it has better interior space than many a consumer has originally imagined. It is time to expand our thinking about the ever-popular Ford Focus and envision all of the awesome things it can tote around town in style. How many things can fit in the car?
A 4-door 2013 Ford Focus ST has a passenger volume of 90.7 cubic feet and 68.6 additional cargo feet behind the rows of seating for a total cubic volume of approximately 159.3 feet. At around 3,223 estimated pounds in curb weight, the Focus ST is considered a midsized passenger sedan. We know that it can comfortably fit five people, but what else does Ford’s most popular sedan have room for?
The approximate volume of a standard paperclip is 0.000228 cubic feet. That means that close to 700,000 paper clips could pile into a Ford Focus ST.
A regulation ping pong ball’s volume is 0.00118 cubic feet, so one could only squeeze 135,000 ping pong balls into a Ford Focus ST.
Every puppy has a different volume depending on age and breed. They were too squirmy to get an accurate estimate… No puppies were harmed in the making of this story.
Half the battle when you are trying to accomplish a difficult task or overcome a daunting obstacle is to have a positive attitude. Pessimistic clowns do not break records for fitting into vehicles. If we start out with the glass half full, 14 clowns can fit into a Ford Focus ST, give or take half a clown. Don’t kid yourself, the clowns would love to ditch their old bug for a roomy, modern Focus.
If for some weird reason, the primary thing that you want to drive around with isn’t paperclips, ping pong balls, or even puppies, five real people can fit in the stylish 2013 Ford Focus, comfortably. Utahn’s, I think this means you have room for skis.
