I love my 2017 Mk3 RS more and more as a daily driver. Shell-seats and Yokohama Advan AD08RS so I'm ready for trackdays as well :)

[@jonah406]

Daily drive mine, yes fuel light issue for me as well, I also have the DSC sport controller fitted so ride is pretty good for me, but do prefer the normal seats for daily driving

[@Alb_in_uk]

Yo bathoway your a good driver

[@tomlarsen2133]

Excellent review but having issues with the fuel light being on, all the time even though looks like you’ve got enough. Otherwise still excellent review.

[@oliverschofield9258]

Good video, I'm thinking of getting one. I currently have Ford Fiesta St-3. One day, I'll upgrade to the Rs. [My fiesta is a rough ride]

[@liamfitzy500]

Excellent review . There isn’t any Rev matching just have to be a good driver . She’ll seats are a must in my opinion and a decent cat back exhaust . Next time try the launch control 👍🏻

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

glad i wasn't just being stupid then. Can't launch it as it's for sale but i'm sure it's amazing.

[@Bombaclock]

It got rev-matching on upshifts,but you need to heel-toe on downshifts

[@jonah406]

@@Bombaclocknot quite although you can have flat foot shifting programmed in for a cost

[@nelsongrubb8620]

Change the 19 inch shells out for 18 inch and the ride is much better.

[@Happy-mh8xq]

How is your mpg so high? I getting 40-45 max on motorways not even ragging my st3 2014

[@deadstreet1675]

Honestly one of my favourite cars.. just can't afford one yet...

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

One day 😉

[@trevorgilbert7284]

Me neither I'd love to upgrade to that I've only got the ecboost on saying that I've had it five years trouble free touch wood.

[@harrynixon1919]

Interested to know why you chose a Leon cupra for yourself.

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

Was more fun than the golf r for me whilst still being a good daily. The focus rs whilst perfectly usable as a daily, is much better if you live away from a city. Sadly, i do not haha.

[@harrynixon1919]

@@ParagonCarsLondon and how does the 335d you reviewed compare with the cupra for fun? Does the higher diesel torque give more real world speed? Thanks

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

@@harrynixon1919 if both are in comfort then the 335d responds quicker in most cases, good for lane changes etc. The major difference is when your in the sportiest setting. The cupra is a fair bit quicker then. For everyday driving the 335d is better i'd say

Worst hot hatch out of them all.

[@incognito96]

@@N0ahGam3s well when you pitch it up against that competition, I can see it just about holding its own.

[@rjim1]

Just out of interest mate,, what is it that you don't like about them? For a small.car it's my second favorite after the BMW M2, which obviously isn't a hatch but it's compact and rapid! I've personally loved fast Fords since my first car, an XR2 in 1995.

[@incognito96]

@@rjim1 the engines are made of chocolate, can't handle a lot of power, issues with gaskets, and they look cheesy. Out of the hot hatches it competes against, they are rubbish. The MK2 is a better car.

[@rjim1]

@@incognito96 I get you. I fully agree that the mk2 is a much better car but sadly the price reflects that. Sounds so much better too.
