    Everytime i see review of this car people are all about performance but is it ok to buy this car for the looks?

      Yes the way to get that awesome gauge cluster is with the premium. It has even more features then what I showed.

  • @joshuaraleigh8545
    @joshuaraleigh8545 6 років тому +1

    Hey I love your videos. I have a question regarding advice on a new car. I want a new 4 door sporty car and I am torn between a WRX STI or a focus RS. What would you choose?

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 років тому

      Joshua Raleigh thanks I really appreciate that. The both have their pros & cons. I had a 2015 STI and there weren’t a ton of changes for the 2018 version. This is why I picked up an RS. Please let me know if you have any questions.

    • @joshuaraleigh8545
      @joshuaraleigh8545 6 років тому +1

      Raiti's Rides yes I actually sold a 17 Zo6 with only 1200 miles on it because I could never ride my children in it. Does the focus RS feel a lot more powerful from the factory. How do you feel the resale value of the RS will be in 2 years vs the STI. I found a new RS I can buy for 3k under MSRP but it had a recall and the dealer changed the head gasket before they could sell it.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 років тому +2

      Joshua Raleigh the RS is going to be faster. It has 350hp/350tq. Resale value is going to be interesting. The Subaru traditionally has better resale value but with 2018 being the end of production of the current generation Focus RS that will probably effect value in a good way. If the head gasket has been replace and you are getting it under sticker I say jump on it.

  • @QuickshiftCars
    @QuickshiftCars 6 років тому +1

    Dang, that V8 sounds waaaaay better than the EcoBoost I reviewed. That turbo just makes it sound like an asthmatic leafblower.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 років тому +1

      Sirpalmtree it’s crazy how the 2.3 when implanted into the RS sounds amazing. It’s really great how the exhaust on the v8 sounds so much better then the 2015-2017 models. Thanks for the great comment!

  • @karag6556
    @karag6556 6 років тому +6

    I love how different people's tastes are. I cannot stand Mustangs that do not have a spoiler! The rear looks too unfinished, slopey, and regular car like a Taurus. Also the black wheels ugh, can't understand why people like them, tires are black, the shrouds around the tires are black, the holes behind the rim are black, so when you have a black rim you can't even see what they look like unless you get close, blah! xD

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 років тому

      Kara G thanks for the great feedback. If you look at the website there are a ton of different wheels you can get for your new mustang and really have the exact look you want.

    • @jswandog
      @jswandog 6 років тому +2

      Kara, I think I love you. I am SO done with the blacked out cars! It's truly NOT a good look. I ordered my 2018 With Niche Milano's in a polished finish. Classic. Oh, I did NOT do the spoiler delete. I wanted it!

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 років тому

    I bought a 2018 royal crimson, 6 speed manual transmission mustang 5.0 GT. The paint job gets a lot of compliments. I really enjoy driving it. It’s quick, it’s smooth, and rides real nice. I like it a lot better than my 2013 mustang GT which was very enjoyable to drive too.

  • @joshgreenwood6545

  • @robertkennedy1737

    Great review, love your enthusiasm for the car. I think the new design is great but everyone has their own opinion. Is still need to try the new MT-82 transmission, I have a 2012 with the MT-82 and it sucks. The MT-82 D4 is supposed to be much better but it still concerns me.

    • @RaitisRides

      @RaitisRides  6 років тому +1

      thillyard1 thanks for your great feedback and support! I would love to have one of these new Mustang GTs. Performance in a straight line out does my RS. I really like the interior. They have really upgraded it nicely. Would you like a Vlog comparing the two in more detail?

    Joe! What do you mean by the statement; The🦊 FOX Body Mustang doesn’t look like much! My 1986 GT is major league pissed off at you and she is ready to kick your tush! I one spin in my 5 speed, 3:73 geared 8.8” rear differential w/Traction-Lok of course, Mustang would change your mind real quick. The car is a sleeper but the power train, suspension and the chassis yes the chassis has been completely beefed up with a full perimeter Kenny Brown chassis kit : Strut tower bar. Underneath the engine another full triangle in shape brace. I believe it’s called an A-Frame brace. Welded on bars that run from the front to the rear of the entire unibody chassis. I’ll stop here. I have owned her since day one. Bought her new in 1986. I wasn’t even legal to drink! Have a nice weekend my man.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 років тому +1

      I haven't watched this video on a while. I need to re-watch it when I get a second. I promise you though I was in high school from 91-94 and fox body Mustangs were one of the hottest cars on the street. The Fox body Mustang is what brought the Mustang back into the performance world. Do you still have the 86 GT? My best friend in high school had a white 92 notchback! Him and I built the motor together! I can totally understand the reason to stiffen up the chassis! I hope you have a great weekend as well!

    I started looking at the Challenger today. Too fat...looks like a tug boat on wheels and you see them everywhere. Charger looks really nice, but I don’t want to be confused with the Highway Patrol. Never loved the looks of the Camaro.
    The Mustang on the other hand. Best exterior of the lot. Sleek lines, and the profile front to back looks excellent. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.

    I had a new 1982 5.0 GT which had a sticker price of about $10k fully loaded and anyone could afford one. Now a fully loaded 5.0 is about $50k which is kind of expensive for most people. And even after all these years, you still have to prop up the hood with a metal rod lol. Nice car though, I don't dare to test drive one because I know I'd want to buy it.

    • @RaitisRides

      Jesus H Medrano well there is more to it then dominating on a tack. I think as a daily I rather have the Mustang.

    Mustang GT has great bang for the buck, much respect. Just not for me (don’t like the body style and sorry don’t trust Ford quality).

      You are right about bang for the buck! The interior is really nice and well appointed. We will have to wait and see about reliability.

      Raiti's Rides just to add to that, not saying all fords are bad or will have problems, just over the years I’ve seen too many issues.

      Ford quality is good and dependability is bar none. I am a sold Ford guy for life.

    The car is great if you domt wamt to mod for now. If you want to mod the s550 15-17 is better.
