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.

Sorry for my english. But this car is not made in Sweden, is different to have brand Volvo 5 cyl engine. to be made in that place. This car is manufactured in Germany by Ford Europe, and the best to the RS and the ST came to Mexico and we enjoyed a good car... greetings.

The engine is not based on a Volvo engine, it is a Volvo engine. This car was developed by Volvo here in gothenburg, along side with the rest of the car. It is a Volvo with a Ford body!

The U.S is partly to 'thank' for that. The new Focus RS is a 'world car' and designed to appeal more to the masses. So while this old Focus RS gets away with the lairy aggressive bodykit perfect for the European market it was aimed at, the new one is much more subdued to try and have a wider appeal.

With the new 2016 Ford Focus RS(awd) and 2016 Mazdaspeed3 (also awd) expected for sale in the US, it's an awesome time to be a hot hatch performance enthusiast. But Subaru, why you no STI hatch???
@IvoRadev

Ivo Radev Actually, about 50% of WRX sales were for the hatch version...Subie says they ran out of the money needed to spring for a hatch version. Subaru has their heads up their asses right now...I've owned a WRX hatch and an EasyStreet Motorsports Stage-4 WRX hatch...and I'm on the preorder list for the 2016 Focus RS. Brand loyalty can only go so far.

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 ;) )
@Vision33r
@Vision33r 8 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.
@RetiredDP
@RetiredDP 8 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.

Hardly, I'd trade the extra 70hp for AWD any day of the week. But to be fair, this came with 305hp stock, so the new one has 45 more HP and comes with all wheel drive, launch control, adjustable suspension, adjustable exhaust, 4 drive modes, electronic rear torque distribution, brembo brakes, forged wheels, track tires, and it's 6 years newer. I guess this one has the green paint and a black stripe, along with the custom 420 badge, those things are kinda "cool".

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.

The price comes down to the quality they are engineered in. US may have a couple cars that are quick on tracks but there is loads of equivalant EU cars in the market which in our eyes is more of an average car. I gave Nordschleife as an example 'coz the replyer did. 90% of the cars produced for the EU market will outhandle the US rival car. US's most popular racing sport is nascar. The drag time is what you guys class as a car being quick/slow. US has no interest in good handling cars.

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.

I think you may be correct. To get to 420, it would need bigger CC injectors and the CAS intake, which flows better than the mountune "top piece" intake. 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).

We here in the United States got the Focus RS with a 2.3 liter Ecoboost turbo four and AWD. It made 350hp(even more than the same engine in the current Mustang (310-330hp)). It's too bad this car is no longer available. It would beat a Honda Civic Type-R and a Subaru WRX STI easily.

What, the Focus has NOT got a Volvo platform!!! Its built on the regular Ford C1 platform, wich was designed by Ford Europe in Germany! Volvo borrowed the platform for its cars, not the other way around. And yes, the base for the engine is from Volvo, but drive a Ford with the 5-cyl engine and compare it to a T5 or a 2,5T Volvo, and you will notice they have changed a LOT of bits on it.

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 !!!!!

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.
