2008 Ford Focus XR5 Turbo Review

[@danielthunder9876]

I have a 2010 I've owned from new with around 85000km on it. I have the leather package in it and its stock but still is fun to drive even after 10 years.

[@davidlehfeldt6366]

Hey Dan, thanks for watching mate. I enjoyed driving the XR5 - I can see why you would have kept yours so long!

[@danielthunder9876]

@@davidlehfeldt6366 The only negative thing i can say about it is the turning circle... its like a ship in a parking lot :p

[@headchef5680]

Hey daniel im looking at getting an xr5. Have they faired well reliably and is there anything i should look out for?

[@danielthunder9876]

@@headchef5680 I have had no issues with it except a passenger managed to kick out some cables under the foot well and caused some lights to go on. Other than that bullet proof. Maybe just check that its had a good service history as turbos don't like old oil.

[@danielthunder9876]

Also, try to get one with the leather seats... those cloth colored ones are horrid lol

[@keyskhoza]

Great review 💯

[@harrisonsamuel2178]

That's a 2010 model bud... but speaking as a 2007 model owner with a few minor upgrades... these cars are an awesome driving experience... everything about it from a driver's point of view screams fun... except for the fwd perspective... they really should have done an awd option... and to be honest... if an updated version of this xr5 came out today with a 5 banger turbo... maybe twin it this time tho with awd... I would be the first man in line to buy it... these are mighty fine vehicles... the engine is nearly bullet proof, and the handling is off the charts... my personal has 200hp at the wheel and drives like a dream... unfortunately I will be selling it shortly due to loss of licence, so if anyone is interested let me know

Nathan Barnes it went to a good owner! Thanks for watching man

[@danielkirkman5844]

Hey mate. Was the exhaust stock ? Sorry wasn’t sure

[@smokey6455]

Doesn't sound like a stock exhaust

[@isaacrigby]

what's the hp?

[@davidgriggs3967]

Definitely more engine reliability than a Mazda MPS those things grenade without warning.

[@lachlancashion3200]

@@davidlehfeldt6366 is there alot of leg room? i feel like people over 5 foot wouldnt fit lol

[@davidlehfeldt6366]

I’m 6ft so I guess it was fine!

[@markedwardpreston1592]

Its not a 2008 🙈🤷‍♂️

[@davidlehfeldt6366]

mark preston what makes y0u say that?

[@SirSSau]

David Lehfeldt Yeah to be honest mate I think he’s right. I have a 2010 and yours is exactly the same, lights and the digital reader in the dash too. Strange man, looking at it I’d say it’s a 2010 too.

[@davidlehfeldt6366]

So weird, it was registered as an 08!

[@SirSSau]

David Lehfeldt Yeah I though so otherwise why would you think that hey ? But if you looked at some pictures online you’ll see what we mean. Anyway it’s all history now, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

[@SirSSau]

David Lehfeldt My bad mate - I think it might be 08” I’m gonna stop now because I’m not sure either lol
