Agreed. Was nice to have a nice balance. Now how many companies even the buttons are electronic screens. With overly complicated menus its just absolutely awful. I mean hell i feel they shouldn't even have moved to digital gauges.
I have a 2016 FoST. 60k miles now. Had to replace coolant hoses to firewall(common), coolant reservoir(also common), motor mounts and shocks. Clutch feels like it's grabbing low now. So another thing to fix but the engine is solid.
@@StopWars420 my 4th cyl rings failed and put a pretty bad taste in my mouth after that lol. Owned it for 8 years though and only had 60k miles on it. Was great before it blew up then I was kinda just over it lol
The RS was born on the track. I feel like that's why it's so bouncy on the road. I threw some 18" wheels on mine and it completely changed the ride. The 17s and 2018s had revised dampening to better this. Mine is a 2016 and I absolutely love it!
I’ve driven my fair share of Focus RS’s. Someone traded one in at my work and it was tuned with 475hp… I got to demo it for a couple days and it was fastttttttt and so much fun. I think I’d still swing for a Golf R but I do love the Focus.
I'm a huge Honda guy, but these little cars look like so much fun to drive!! I'd never thought I'd ever utter the words I'd love to drive a Ford Focus LoL! But this is the car! My friend had a 2017 w nice wheels then he sold it after telling me there were only so many made! I love my 11th gen SI but These Cars still make me turn my head!
All of those snaps, crackles and pops would be amusing for about the first 30 seconds after sitting behind the wheel. I could not imagine having to deal with that day in and day out driving around town. Other than that, it looks like a killer car! I bet it's an absolute blast to drive!
i do like the Focus RS. That and the Ford ST were always nice to see on the road. As a 2011 VW MK6 GTI owner, I do appreciate a hot hatch. I've had mine since new in 2011 and it's now 2024 and she's showing some age, but I'm sometimes impressed with how modern it can look at times. I swapped out the head unit for a nice double din headunit with wireless carplay. Really brings it into the 2020s.
I'm also surprised at how loud it is with just a catback. I have a high flow downpipe and a borla type s catback. with a tune it sounds similar, but I've changed the tune to remove the pops and bangs as it got a little old for a daily driver.
I also bought my RS brand new in 2016 and daily drive it. Just about to hit 100k kms. I installed Ohlins coilovers and Whiteline control arms along with poly bushings. Also bumped down to 18" wheels. Removed the bounciness and it performs excellent on track. To me it transformed the car and honestly I have a hard time finding or justifying a replacement with the same amount of engagement.
I miss my RS. Had for less than a year before getting a GTI-R. Honestly my favorite part was scaring people who had no idea just how fast this thing is.
Love my 17 FoST. Barely 75k miles and the best daily driver I've ever had. Just got the ford performance calibration for it FINALLY. Can't wait to install 🤗
I bought mine focus rs in 2018 and just traded it in for a mustang dark horse. I had the same problem with the really stiff suspension on the highway. There were many little things I didn’t like the car but I still love it. I’m going to really miss it.😢
Ford used to make such lovely sedans and hatches. My friend has a 2013 Ford Fusion - unassuming, but has a punchy 240-horse turbo 4 cylinder. On the occasion that I end up driving his car, it always jumpscares me when I get onto a fast road with just how quick it can be
I had a red 2014 Ford Focus with a 2.0L engine that delivered an impressive 43 mpg. At the time, the only turbo option was the ST, but I opted for the automatic transmission to make my daily commute through DMV traffic more manageable. It was quick, fun to drive, and my monthly payments were incredibly affordable. I loved having SiriusXM radio for all the comedy shows while navigating some of the worst roads around. Honestly, the Focus had the best handling I've experienced, especially on twisty roads, even compared to all the modern SUVs I've driven since. Now, I can't find an American car that compares, so I'm considering a new Mustang to see how it stacks up. Long live the Focus
Bro, I had a 2014 focus titanium. “Quick”????? 😂😂😂 You’re absolutely crazy to think that thing is quick in any way. I was being gapped by hybrids and minivans all the time in that POS.
The suspension is the only reason I bought the 2018 Ford focus ST and not the RS way too stiff for Michigan roads. Love the car. Hope it treats your dad well for a long time.
Chris is literally a regular dude lol Considering what this car is and how limited they ended up being, $35K is an absolute bargain. I’m not sure what you’re looking for a car to cost lol
35k is not an affordable car It is *statistically* a reasonably priced car considering it costs as much as a nicely loaded out Civic and Accord lol, yeah I know I’m taking the Accord but impressive how affordable they made these cars considering the market turning from 12 thousand dollar Fiesta STs which I loved mine, now to where I can’t even get a SRT* Durango for less than 38 and that’s a 2018 Dodge that can be stolen as easy as a Kia lmao
The average price for a new cheaper car is 27-35k, id say 35k really isnt that much, at least not in todays market. If you cant afford 30ish grand you cant afford any new car in 2024 lol. and its just gonna get worse. unless its a nissan versa.
The first car I had bought was the '16 ST. I really wanted the RS, but I knew the fuel economy, tires, and my want to utilize the launch control at every stop light would be too tempting. The ST is a fun car to have, and is great to daily. I have 130k on my car, and nothing big has went wrong. Just the "skid plate", bent rim, and tie rods are about it. Keep good oil and filters in stock, change them every 5k and these cars will last forever.
True to your Dad's spirit.. Own a 2018 Elantra GT Sport 6spd manual. My youngest drives my 2011 Sonata 2.0T. My Oldest was Bent on this vehicle or a 2023 Elantra N.
I like my 2013 focus Se which I only paid 3 grand for a couple months ago but I sure do wish it was an rs. Super cool cars and were around the same age and pretty cool we got to experience them while they were here
Nice video! I daily drive the same car. Mostly stock except for the MBRP exhaust and a few minor things. Everybody complains about the suspension, but I don't find it bad at all. I have never experienced that bounciness you have at 18:12 and I drive tons of highway miles.
Focus ST also has sharp brakes, I remember getting a loaner when my Mustang was in the shop for a week, i was like whoa! I can get into trouble with this, the handling was nimble and the brakes were sharp.
I daily my RS and I have a job that has me visiting several locations a day. I use it for work and errands, which adds up to around 1200 miles a month. Only change from stock is I put Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ all-season tires. This change alone took the edge of the bumps. The only mod for the dampers is buying aftermarket, or buy Ford’s revised dampers they put on the late-2017 and 2018 cars. I have seen them in stock even recently.
You know I recently got a very nice Volvo s90 T6 Inscription but as I hear the exhaust pops on this little beast I think I would have gotten one of these. Love my Volvo though.
Man I want this car. After getting my first ever car almost 2 months ago, a mk3 ford focus se hatch, it made me realize how fun and zippy these focus’ really are. There are only a few for sale in my area, all 30k-40k, and I have the means but its is a fairly large chunk of money to just drop on a vehicle. I’ll stick with my 30mpg gas sipping focus for now…
18:52 the suspension was actually revised I think 2 times throughout the life-cycle of the car. 1 at the beginning of 2017, 1 for the 2018 run. the general rule of thumb is the later years will be better on your back :)
So the suspension part is funny. I’d always heard they could be rough but never drove or rode in one. My 2016 Fusion SE has H&R springs and aftermarket struts and it’s way softer than that thing in “soft”. Mine is definitely stiffer than it was but it’s not bad by any means. If I were in my 20’s or maybe early 30’s still, I could put up with that, but I wouldn’t want to anymore in my 40’s. I value my back now unlike as a kid.
I daily my focus st and love it, tuned a little bit and its so much fun to drive. I need new suspension though, it looks about as stiff as that rs but not damped well.
I drive on that interstate all the time!... In Minnesota lol The interstate system is still just wild. I94 is in my backyard and here I am viewing a video of it that was filmed four states away
At least, it has a manual. Not the automatic that became a meme of bad transmissions. With my luck, it would be a Focus SE with the known-to-often-go-bad automatic transmission! (PowerShift) The RS, makes the SE seem to stand for "slop edition". Edit: I rolled at 18:04 🤣
I just bought an Elantra N and I wish I didn't buy a new car. I watch reviews constantly and I think I got caught up in the objectiveness after test driving Civic Type R, GRCorolla, and Elantra N back to back. The Elantra feels like the best bang for your buck but its a sedan and loses the practicality. Its also very turbocharged and I find myself wishing I just bought another ND Miata and keeping the 03 Lexus GS430 I was driving as the baby hauler. Curious if I would've been happier with a Focus RS. If anyone out there wants a deal on a practically new Elantra N, I'd sell or trade.
I laughed harder than I should’ve about the Sony system. I was hoping they’d done better but I guess not. They sound alright in my 14’ st3 but the best.
@@MarkPharaoh it's my opinion. American brands shouldn't let their compacts cars die in US. They should invest money the same way Asians companies did and improve their compacts line.
Yea I don’t get it! Subaru did same thing with STi. It’s a shame because they were the 2 best options with awd. Very disappointing, I would’ve discontinued the 4cyl mustang before the RS. They share same engine, mustang already come in v6,v8, v8 s.c
I daily drove a Frozen White Focus RS for 4 years and 60k miles. I loved that thing so much till I couldn't bear the very stiff suspension anymore. I grew up and traded it in for a Kia Stinger GTS. I had an AWE Track and had to switch it out for a AWE touring only because I got ticketed by a douche cop in my area LOL.
I’ve test driven this car twice. Definitely doesn’t feel like 350 HP, feels like 300. It might be the AWD system sucking some of the power but the Type R feels significantly faster
honda underrated the type r from the factory, so it actually makes around 300 whp stock. the focus is also around that number, but it weighs a few hundred pounds more. that’s probably why the type r felt faster to you
This sort of thing depends on sound deadening, how the car is sprung, exhaust. Feeling hp really is subjective and depends on a variety of factors besides the cars actual hp
if your brother has a Honda Civic Type R, and your dad has a Ford Focus RS, the who is going to buy the family’s first Toyota GR Corolla or Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution?
If you run a plug to the USB port in the arm rest and plug your phone in, it will connect apple car play, at least with an iphone. I have a big turbo 2018 focus st and leave my phone plugged in while driving since it doesn't have wireless carplay.

Indeed! We were told there was no way we'd get an allocation, but stayed persistent and it all worked out!

Kind of sad that the Focus RS is getting less recognizable, it’s such a cool underrated vehicle I must say.
Now think about the ST 😢
The main thing is that when it comes to brand new options, you really only have the golf R and Gr corolla

beautiful blue RS. any problems with the sync radio system should be resolved after pulling the fuse and popping it back in

With a those sync systems with a simple USB port upgrade and a software update you can add Apple CarPlay
