My friend, you have made the correct choice. I have owned all three of the “hot hatches”. I bought a brand new 2018 Civic Type-R and loved the car. Its very fast and has amazing handles. I traded in my Civic Type-R for a 2018 STI because I moved up north and needed the AWD. The STI was so boring compared to my Type-R. It felt slow and clunky. It felt old. It just wasn’t exciting at all. It was so boring that I sold it outright just to get rid of it. 1 month later I bought a gray 2017 Focus RS. (Just like yours) This car is by far the best of the three cars. Its the fastest. Its the most fun, especially with the exhaust pops. I think its the best looking out of the 3. You can tell that it means business but its not too boy racer like the type r and sti. I would rank the cars like this 1. Ford Focus RS 2. Honda Civic Type-R 3. Subaru WRX STI You made the right decision my man. You are going to love this car!
Dear Creezin I am about to trade in my type r for a RS. Everyone says the ride in RS is horrible. Would you say it is significantly worst than the +R mode in type r?
@@gordonyip8415 The rs does ride a bit rough but i wouldn’t say its “horrible”. The suspension is tight, as it should be in a car like this. I daily drive mine on West Virginia back roads and have no problem. If you are a car guy the ride wont bother you in the slightest and everything good about the car will make you smile. Hope this helps!
Hey man I have been following along in your videos so far and it seems that our backgrounds are pretty similar. Drove my friends manual for fun and now looking for a manual daily... I am actually looking into a 17 Focus RS like yours but I wanted to ask have you had any reliability issues so far? I know it's not a Toyota but honestly for me I kinda would like to have all wheel drive without rod knock, lol subarus, which is why I wanted to ask about your experience so far owning a RS.
Hey man, thanks for following along and watching my videos. I greatly appreciate your support! So I’ve pretty much have had no issues with my RS since I bought. I did have to replace a few minor things about 3 months ago (coolant tank, purge valve, valve cover) but other than that it’s been rock solid. Other RS owners I know have said theirs is rock solid as well. Obviously just maintain regular maintenance, like you would with any other car, and you won’t have any issues with it!
Glad you’re okay Brian! Can’t wait to see what you do with your new baby!
Thank you Alexis 🥺 it’s a blessing in disguise!
