It's because the Focus is actually from Ford Europe, so it's really european. It's the same as Honda having a different version of the Civic for Europe, the US and Asia to the point that each uses a different chassis underneath with only the Civic name and maybe the engines shared between them.

RetiredDP Ah nice to hear something from an owner. I must say I have been confused by the looks of the Impreza hatch. Probably because of all the years of the sedan and it's rally years, but again, it wasn't a beautiful hatch anyway, while the sedan looked alright. Congratz on the new RS, by all the info we have until now (which is not that much) it looks that it will be what RS fans (me inclusive) were expecting from the previous RS. I am German but live in Greece now, so that's why I will wait ;) I am pretty sure that within the first year there will be enough cars for resale (I know sounds bad, but crisis has it's gimmicks ;) )
@Vision33r8 жыл бұрын
+1400VID Because of sales, majority of customers bought Impreza sedans over the Impreza hatch and when they had a full year with both STI hatch & sedan, the sedan out sold the hatch. It's also about suspension and aero. The sedan was more aerodynamic and longer wheel base so it was more stable.
@RetiredDP8 жыл бұрын
The sedan also has MUCH less utility, and doesn't do as well in Autocross. The added weight over the rear tires in the hatch helped diminish the massive understeer the WRX has always had when pressed.

Good choice on the seats. I worked for Keiper-Recaro for a few years, and spent 5 years testing seat components in the test lab. The Recaro seat is one of if not the best seats for safety. I couldn't break the frame (usually the recliners fail)... the static pull machine just yanked it off the seat tracks, which did fail. Let's put it this way: In a wreck, the last thing you want is for the seat to come unglued under you. Most common failure is at the pivot point (recliner/recliner or recliner/hinge arrangement). The taumel gears in the dual recliners in the Recaros are stronger than any other type recliners I maliciously pull tested. The worst seats I came across were... well let's just say they came in one of those big '90-ish (government men in black drive them)... the buckets with that corduroy fabric that came in 3 colors, light blue, silver, and gold. The seat frame got it's nickname in house, when "Dirty Harry," the old engineer and I, discussed it. We called it the "Lawn Chair." It was all foam around spindly tubular framing. Compare that to the Recaro... and if I were to drive that Focus, I'd be glad it has those seats.

Eric Van Der Beek Diesel doesn't sell so well in the US because the cost of diesel is more than that of premium unleaded fuel so the fuel savings aren't realized over something like a hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle. And the main reason why small, hot hatches don't sell so well is because they're in a budget segment of the market yet cost $30k+ with the same or even less refinement of similar budget segment vehicles. The perceived value isn't good and many prefer bigger vehicles, anyways.

Further more, you would need to be going down the route of upgrading the turbo once you get past the 400 mark. It could however have the MR375 map in it (look it up on mountune's website).

Amazing channel you have going on here . The Focus is cool and living in England myself i have seen many of these but i think Ford have ruined this shape with the Volvo engine . The Mk1 Focus RS is all Ford and i am glad to hear that the next shape Focus RS will be all Ford again :) If you ever get the opportunity you should check out the Sierra RS500 Cosworth . It would be great to see what you think about the Cosworth !!!!!

I miss seeing cosworths on the road, never owned one but that was a great car. I’m getting an ST next month. I’d love an RS but just can’t afford one yet.

Leno should get rid off the gay, annoying ass intro or ending sound effect.

Ford most likely came to the conclusion that this model would not do well or may compete with the mustang.

When an American car company makes a car that's not even legal in America.

The Volvo Inline-5 is an absolutely bulletproof engine. They are incredibly strong and Volvo have been building I-5's for over 20 years. You don't do that if the design isn't durable. I had one in C30 T5 and it's a great engine.

I absolutely hate the rear end of this car. I don't know what they did wrong when they were designing it but the back looks awful

Jay, I assumed by now someone would tell you but I guess not. My friend, what you refer to as the "wastegates" is actually the blow off valve. The wastegate will only be heard if it is plumbed openly vs. back into the exhaust and you are on the gas hard. The bov is heard when you let off the gas.
