Hey that's all expensive gear that.. that doesn't make you a chav...chav is the ones stood outside a shop wearing old scratty tracksuit asking ppl to go in the drink..
Same with civic type r’s. Brilliant cars but are populated by exhaust removing, doing 60 down your street at 1:00 in the morning guys who couldn’t care less

Dont have to worry about common issues much because its a ford.. brilliant sounding 5 pot and always a head turner, my older brother has recently bought an ST in orange, no lacker peal which is rare and completely stock apart from an exhaust, amazing car to drive, cant imagine how the RS drives
It kinda is it came from the factory with a limited top speed and the focus didn’t if you was to remove the limit it would then technically be a modified car because it would no longer be factory spec
And the Golf R has a shitty DSG box so you might as well get an electric car with fake engine noises for all the driver involvement you’ll get from the Golf power train. Plus The EA888 is throwaway dog shit.
Interesting. So, are you like, mentally retar*e* since birth or is this more of a "hit your head on a rock" kind of thing? They have shown different SYNCHRONISED clips from each car hitting each track sector, like they did with literally any comparison. These obviously weren't the full laps and they obviously didn't cross the line at the same time. You can't be serious😂
I someone able to tell me - does this have the same engine as the XR5, or is it the same car, or completely different... I wasn’t able to make sense of that time bracket of Focus
Nope. The XR5 is the ST. Whilst the same basic Engine the RS engine was reworked to make it reliable at 300bhp for the general public to do their usual thing of using the cheapest parts and skipping service intervals and ranting it when cold for 100,000 miles.
"It's brilliant" Except it really wasn't lol. These cars had a lot of technical problems, including the torque steer, even with the special front axle system.
They sold alot in the 80s in the UK. Always came no.1 in sales charts. Alot of that was the company car market. Most of the time they lost road tests in car mags. Not just one...all. In the 80s Ford Fiesta was always beaten by Peugeot 205 or Fiat Uno, Escort by Vauxhall Astra, Peugeot 305 then 309, Citroen BX, VW Golf (when mk2 came out), Sierra by Cavalier mk2 and mk3, Peugeot 405, VW Passat even the Montego was known as being a better drive!! Granada mk3 was a good car though and always did well in road tests, only prestige stuff like the Audi 100/200, BMW 5-series, Merc E class beating it, along with the Vauxhall Senator giving it a real run for its money. And as for the good ole Capri...love em but they were hopelessly outclassed by the mid 80s by newer stuff like Celicas, Supras, Nissan 300ZX, Audi Coupe etc. Does any of this matter....nope!!! I love 80s Fords for their looks, styling, interiors and just memories. I'd love a Sierra 2.0i Ghia and would have one over a Peugeot 405 despite knowing the 405 would piss all over the Sierra in ride, handling and refinement!!
Ford GT won le man for 3 years Escorts mk1&mk2 dominated the rally circuits racking up many wins and trophies Sierra cossies dominated the BTCC also winning multiple things Transits have been the best selling, and best overall van for near 40 years Fiesta ST and Focus RS may get beaten in drags but many tv shows and UA-cam reviews state they’d prefer the ford for its ability to put a smile on your face People that say ford are shit and ‘were’ shit are delusional. It may not be as luxury as say a merc or refined as an Audi. But fords are great cars for the price you pay, reliable and some of the new vignale mondeos are on par with the more expensive brands when it comes to quality.
Its almost the same car. But honestly, this is the dumbest thing you could have said. A modified car would be faster than this stock car.... Well no shit, as long as you didnt slap some heavy ass wheels and an exhaust on it then thought it would be faster. pull your finger out of your ass.
Top gear was the greatest motoring show ever and now it’s not.
Very true
True
Don’t forget about Best Motoring, too bad it never made it outta Japan because of the language
the grand tour sucks too
Now the grand tour
And if you bought the subaru at the time its worth about 30% of its value whereas the focus is now over 200% of its original price
You can get a focus st500 for less than £5k, with good ones going for £6-7k.
Christian Buczko this is an RS500 not an ST500🤦🏻♂️
@@360FAMOUZ360 theres very little difference apart from the increase in power. And 240hp is plenty for most rational people.
Christian Buczko and the 50k price difference hence my original comment. Two stupid comments from you now

Cooper 2004 escort cozzy isn’t bad this is a beautiful car tho. Saw one today A five cylinder 2.5l Focus RS

I miss that.
Robert Bould wish they would include these sorts of cars in the grand tour too
@@joer9326 me to
People were still blubbering on about emissions all the time. Top Gear just made fun of them, as they should.
The original Top Gear ran from 1977 - 2001
A lad I know tuned his to 400hp. Used to spit fire and oil out the exhaust. Cracking.
Should see the 1100hp Dyno run on UA-cam lol
Ford is the master of front wheel drive handling.
Honda is pretty good too.
That's not true though is it. Honda civic type r and seat Leon cupra both faster round the ring by a mile!
vauxhall astra vxr certainly isn`t always a poor mans ford
One of the Best compact of history😍😍😍😍 and this 5 cylindres....
Back when car makers used to still make relatively fun to drive hot hatches ...
This video doesn’t get old
Volvo do make great engines
Used to... now not
Focus definitely looks better imo 👍🏻
Thats one sexy hatchback 👋🏽🇺🇸
Higher top speed than an m5..... With a limiter on it keeping it to 155mph, he forgot to add that part
nopenopenope yeah kinda messed there with my mind too
Thanks for stating the obvious.
@@Eidrian111 no worries
Where would the fun be in mentioning that?
Let's also not forget that the Focus is hatchback and an M5 is a 500 hp supersaloon. Btw someone tested the RS500s top speed and he hit around 175.
focus rs500 best hothat !
Nadsenec what the fuck is a hothat???
His head is on fireeeeee
Hothat haha
Hot hatch
You mean the civic type r is the best?
I like how he laughs at the beginning

Can't beat abit of TopGear most definitely 💯
The Focus may look like a Van, but a damm fast van
That car is a beast but the E60 M5 is limited to 155, the Focus isn’t limited so maybe not an accurate example.
It kinda is it came from the factory with a limited top speed and the focus didn’t if you was to remove the limit it would then technically be a modified car because it would no longer be factory spec
What season is this?
It is 164 mph but that is restrained. Take it if it's top speed is 185
£100,000 for a nice example in todays money.

More horsepower than the BMW M135i or Volkswagen Golf R which have 306 and 320 horsepower, respectively. But these are four wheel drive.
And the Golf R has a shitty DSG box so you might as well get an electric car with fake engine noises for all the driver involvement you’ll get from the Golf power train. Plus The EA888 is throwaway dog shit.
"well if the Subaru is no good what is ?" Hahahaha I fucking died cause Jeremy knows the subis ejs all blow up loo
They both crossed the line a fraction of a second difference but the Impreza was given a 3 second lead. That is bull.

Ford focus is generally driven by people named Wayne and gary. Take what u want from that
And live on a council estate lol
Not any more. Those knobheads drive audis now.
What about c max
Why have I never seen this episode
I someone able to tell me - does this have the same engine as the XR5, or is it the same car, or completely different... I wasn’t able to make sense of that time bracket of Focus
Yes, I’m almost certain they are the same engines. Just different badging in different parts of the world..
Nope. The XR5 is the ST. Whilst the same basic Engine the RS engine was reworked to make it reliable at 300bhp for the general public to do their usual thing of using the cheapest parts and skipping service intervals and ranting it when cold for 100,000 miles.
afaik its basically the same engine just different rods/piston and a bigger turbo

Take it back from the qemists
Do you know the second song/track?

ive just bought a toyota prius this car looks like my prius .is it the same to drive .dont know much about fords
guy m you prius is shit thats all i can say😋🤣
Shut up
guy Not even close, they are two different types of cars. The Prius is just a family car not meant for track driving.
guy is obviously joking you idiots
guy I love prius’s 😍
He forgets to mention that the m5 is limited to 155mph.
Subaru vs this. ? How you can even compare..maybe normal rs..but rs500..immposibru..
Why not just have a T5?
Why not just have an H4 with a turbo as well?
@@ej22_gc86 answer is - for awesome sound of R5 engine :)
Transporter T5 is slower
Chav transport of choice.

How can he oversteer with an FWD car?
Vladimir Popa lift off oversteer. Also this car has a lot of weight in the front axle, not so much in the rear.
its called lift off oversteer my friend !!
pokest225 Thank you! Which one do you think is more fun? I think RWD.
c20let260 Thank you, I'm learning more about it!
Vladimir Popa for pure fun, rwd. For slow tracks with tight corners, fwd.

How is that a chav car?
Lukestersim :3 It’s a chav car. Believe me.
W42PZ Best part of 50k for an RS500, chavs must be doing no bad for themselves where you live...
W42PZ Explain how it’s a chav car? i find it hard to beleive somebody with no explination to back up their statement
240 bhp on front axle?? Ohhh no thank you.
There's a mk2 RS in mexico with more than 600whp, you can look at it by searching for the RS blackhawk
