5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT THE '16 FOCUS RS

[@raf8474]

Casual driving is meant for Normal mode, not Sport mode. If you want sport features from sport mode without the tightened suspension you can change them individually in the settings. "Not a track monster", Dude, it's made for the TRACK; hence the highly bolstered seats. This is not a "normal road car" its a RS which if you didn't know stands for RALLYE SPORT. If you want a road car go buy a ST "street tune" which is what that car is made for. Also, people who got to review the car in Spain, on an actual track, only one reviewer noted an over heating problem with the rear clutch packs. The reviewer then was given a different RS and after switching, had no issues the rest of the trip. Your information in this video is based on misinformation, lack of basic knowledge, and too many assumptions without first hand experience. Shame on you.

[@brandonlamarmusic]

I THINK YOUR PERSPECTIVE IS FROM BEING TOO USE TO DRIVING A LAMBO.... THE AVERAGE CAR DOESN'T SEAT THAT LOW INSIDE.

[@lovemyhatr]

lol right, and its the base model hes driving

[@notyou1760]

No. The Focus in general sits high up. If they use the same rails as the regular Focus (which is probably the case) then it will be higher than it "should" be.

[@SoLudde]

As always, good video. Great that you include pictures of the other cars you are comparing in to, like you did with the interior of the Golf R :) Keep it up!

[@SheepInACart]

To the people who are thinking "lots of cars don't have diff coolers, and they don't overheat", the AWD focus is a little unique, it actually has different diff gear ratios front to back to the tune of overspeeding the rear end 2%, then uses a clutch pack either side of the rear diff. This means the car is FWD normally, with the computer able to feed power to the rear tyres as it desires, critically this overspeeding allows it to basically eliminate under-steer since running the rear faster than the front (ie letting no clutch slip) WILL cause some wheel slip, so the computer can ensure the front tires don't loose grip first, even under hard acceleration in a corner (and yes, also the ridiculous drift mode which doesn't actually place as much load on the clutches as spirited driving would since in this mode they allow no slip, thus do no work\produce no heat). In addition by modulating that clutch it can provide as much power rearward as it can without wheel slip. All this sounds cool, but why is this not common, two reasons, firstly the rear clutch packs get the mechanical disadvantage from both the transmission and the diff gearing, so in the lower gears it could be >45 times more torque (and correspondingly less rotational speed) than the transmissions flywheel mounted clutch, or >3x more torque than a clutch between transmission and rear diff (like the GTR uses to send power forwards). So what does this all mean for the driver? Like the GTR (in fact even better than the GTR) the computer controls the cars attitude in corners, so with good software it could handle great, but its heavier for its level of durability than almost any other setup, and when acting hard will be less efficient, which is both why on review canyon runs people are getting similar to worse economy in the compact Ford RS than the full sized Camero and Corvette and why the car WILL have thermal + maintenance issues if you track it hard, its just we don't hear about them from reviewers since the obviously displayed engine temps aren't the cause, plus most cars are being used on a few short stints of high load in a otherwise mostly road driving test, rather than sustained operation. None the less, the idea of the RS is a cool one, 350hp and computer controlled AWD in a fairly small car, on paper it produces both decent daily economy and exiting 0-100kph (62mph) times, its just that in reviews its gotten mostly poorer launch speeds, and nobody's been able to reach the claimed 7.7L\100km (in fact they've been mostly around 12L\100km)... disappointing when coupled with a high price tag, poor turning circle and basic interior.

How do you expect a small car like this to have good turning with so much added weight Porker? Love you guys and this channel 😂

[@surfshop7552]

Nice review

[@sophisticated]

Good to know about the rear diff. I know the driving position would be in there. 1st Gen svt focus had the same problem.

[@SuperSuperAllons93]

Honestly the seats are great once worn in. I'm a bigger guy than you and they're probably the best seats I've had in a car especially for road trips. Not sure about the driving height thing either. I used to drive a Celica but the position I'm in in my ST is pretty good. Same story with the the pedals.

[@Sumdumdad]

I would love to see Ken Blocks response to the turning radius issue with a video. Good video, thumbs up.

[@AbendscheinLGN]

I autocross my RS and ST. That turning radius is pretty awesome in small spaces. It's quite nice, and it's a fucking monster.

[@JD_JoyrideTV]

Haven't dove a RS but I just got a Focus ST last week and the interior looks the exact same...I feel the interior looks pretty damn good but I do agree that they should have upgraded it a little more for the RS.

[@JohnCharter]

I've watched your videos for a few weeks now trying to figure out where I know you from. I finally got it!!! I saw you on TV when I was a kid. You're Eddy Munster! Dude you've aged very well, kinda like Gary Coleman, only an inch or two taller.

[@fatboy19831]

I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee with a 101 inch wheelbase. It has solid axels. It can do a 360 degree turn in 34 feet. It looks completely insane when doing it. My BRZ has a 36 ft turning radius and my XB has to be like 40 ft I don't get how some of the small compact cars have such wide turning circles.

[@GARZUKII]

Forgot that RS stood for rally sport. Guess they should've thrown base model seats to keep you in place when on dirt.

[@trustebuddha307]

pretty accurate although it only goes 70% rear not 75. also should have added along with the differential problem that the drift mode is basically a gimmick and it will also rapidly overheat the rear diff

[@SlipperyGypsy104]

Comparison between rs3, golf R, focus Rs, and a45 amg would be lit

[@rhubarbpie2027]

Don't forget that the max output of 350hp is only briefly available, and then it returns to its 300hp setting.

[@urgetodrive]

I miss Nissan. Good job keeping it real on the RS.

[@EUC-lid]

Fair assessments, all of them. A few things, though.. try to stop calling it a "rear diff". It's a rear drive unit. There is no differential inside of it. I've read what a GKN engineer involved with the project had to say about modding (now deleted).. and that was that no matter how much you mod, as long as you don't try to modify the clutchpack that shunts power to the rear (the thing responsible for the 70% lockup) you'll never put more than 70% of stock horsepower to the rear axle. The center clutch cannot really lock up, so it can never send more than the prescribed amount of torque/s. Kinetic friction is normal force multiplied by the coeficient of friction. The clutchpack's coeficient of friction is fixed by the disc materials and fluids used and the normal force is limited to a value that results in that 70% figure. It doesn't care if there's a space shuttle or a go cart on the other side of the clutchpack, it can only pull so much power. ie: a stock RS puts about 310hp to the wheels, which means about 220 can be shunted to the rear axle. That means a 1200hp RS will still only send about 220hp to the rear axle. Mod to your hearts content, you'll only blow up things under the hood, and make the F/R torque bias worse.

[@completelymustang]

I agree with the opinion on interior. I think Volkswagen did it right with the "grandma's curtains" material in the GTI, much better than the "plasticy feel" of Ford. At a price point of 40k i want every inch of the interior to be alcantara.

[@daltonnoel1237]

You guys are the best keep up the awesome vid 👌

[@ExtremeDeathman]

Well, the suspension is supposed to be hard when going into sport or race mode, because on the track you'll need a very hard suspension. I'd consider this a fail of you, but it's your opinion.

[@jaykay7932]

I test drive the MK3 focus RS this afternoon. First thing i hate is the fact the Ford dealer is only letting me have 15/20mins... As if that will compete with VW who let me have the R for 3 hours lol. Interesting fact about the rear diff overheating... I never thought about that! I'll ask the dealer what he says about that

[@MrRandomReviews]

very well said...its still an awesome car though

[@DreamandWish1]

When I test drove a ST a year ago, I didn't like that you can't see the hood, because it slopes down so much. It was an odd viewing perception for me being used to seeing a hood scoop or something out front.

[@3211ariel]

[@SofaKingTouge]

OH shit someone told the truth about the RS. You take all the RS fanboys to the track and have them do 10 laps in the Focus RS and the Golf R then show them the lap times. I can almost guarantee they will all have better times in the Golf R. And I got to see drift mode. It's a joke. And yeah the interior is pretty bad.

[@midwestsneakerhead6511]

*cough cough* VW and Audi diesel scandal................lmfao

[@razvanmihalache5680]

+midwest sneakerhead cough cough that does not affect the Golf R in anyway shape or form. And cough cough... Ford created modern cars with door latches that would fly open randomly and cars that stalled in the middle of driving or at stop lights. No car company has perfect records.

[@basslover352]

Have you heard about the overheating in the RS too? XD

[@BensCoffeeRants]

I think I saw a review where they tested the Drift mode and it works well, they said it was easy, like drifting for dummies.

[@SI0AX]

The car automatically counter-steers for you thanks to the electronic steering. It's a gimmick of course. Learn to drift the real way and counter-steer yourself!

[@coffeehawk]

GM and Honda make low seat cars, Ford and VW make high seat cars. Higher seats are better for your legs/circulation and for visibility, and are better for your back in a crash. You can drive for hours in a GTi but only for 90 minutes in a Corvette before your butt hurts, seat quality is part of that though. The Focus is meant to drift and thus needs a stiffer suspension than a GT350. Don't put it into sport mode unless you want to drive 'sporty'.

[@patrickregan999]

The bad turning radius is what drift mode is for... Getting into tight spaces

[@bradenjones2825]

I’ve had my rs at over 550whp for two years and have never had an issue with the diff or temps

[@Clayspeed]

Excellent review. Thanks for being honest about the car. Lots of disillusioned owners/reviewers out there.👍

[@alienware409]

Porker, would you rather buy a Golf R or Focus RS ?

[@EiteTryHard]

Golf R vs RS would be a better comparison

[@alienware409]

@TryHardNot Thanks, I fixed it!

[@bliglum]

And from what I've heard, the boring looks translate to a boring driving experience.. EVO, STI, and RS are all more fun to drive... But the Golf R has the nicest interior.

[@GilesHinton]

+Bliglum have driven both and I agree the Golf R is dull to drive and feels laggy in lower gears - I also think the interior whilst it looks ok feels cheaply made - sun visor felt like it might come off in my hand on the test drive, and the interface for stereo etc was a little dated - for me the tech in the Ford is way ahead; the Golf also can't be tuned without voiding warranty. The Golf R is like a poor man's M3, looks sharp suited, but not all that exciting to drive.

[@steng2495]

Also my Evo X has the same problem with the seats except it sits too low. Wish I could raise it up but they made it so I could wear a helmet easily lol

[@SirRiconious]

As a mechanic who can't seem to get clean enough, I'll never bitch about black plastic interiors. My '04 Legacy has that "premium" squishy dash and door panels, so it is absolutely ruined at this point. I would kill for a WRX interior!

[@CarsWithJR]

What happened to...."Like gravity!"

[@DigitalCarAddict]

Like Gravity?

[@svtwrc]

The Fiat Abarth and the old ZX3 SVT was the same seat position. The seat has so much room underneath when fully lowered . Someone needs to figure out how to remove the seats and put new brackets on that properly lower it and retain all the wiring .

[@bshah4831]

[@Jimmycricketsapocalypse]

You can hate all ya want doesn't change its one of the top most sought after cars in the United States. Overall this car is awesome. For the price point you can't beat it in my opinion

[@Epson5000]

that turning radius is like the one on my V70R

[@Wal_9]

Next: why the Lamborghini huracan should have never exsisted

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

Parker the c7 z06 has 2 issues you totally missed. blows hot air from vents even when ambient temp is cool. also very bad wheel chatter in low speed turns with my z07. my dealer says there is a TSB its soo bad. surprised you missed this. and finally mega stiff ride in track mode. my roof does not rattle fyi.

[@LegendInThaMakin]

Too bad it has a competitor like the bmw m2 making there absolutely no reason to buy this car at all.

[@tausigmanova]

M2 is way more expensive than an RS - the RS starts at 36 and the M2 well above 50

[@sneedsneed460]

The m2 is way more expensive, put $5,000 into the RS and it will eat the m2 for dinner

[@dilantaheem5725]

Ikr

[@kuba2499]

+Maximilian James K Unlikely. Dealers have ridiculous markups on them. They go as high as 50k!

[@LegendInThaMakin]

Maximilian James K​ Yeah but options spike up that RS base price. The m2 barely has options.. plus dealer mark ups make it a competitor for the m2 price wise. Plus bmw greatly underrates their engines. It advertises that the m2 has 365hp. People have been doing dynos with their m2 and it puts down 380hp to the wheels, meaning the m2 is really like 400hp+ at the crank. Bmw are liars. Plus mods such as dinan tunes are ready to upgrade your m2.. & jb4 tunes work for it too Its lighter, rwd and more gorgeous so why would i pick the foxus rs over an m2 again?

[@saintghost]

2. "sport mode to hard" - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL?

[@Driftload]

Fords always have unspectacular interiors in their sporty cars in my experience

[@midin1432]

[@JULIAN71102]

[@JULIAN71102]

+William Pritchard oh i always asked my self why i have never seen SEAT in an american review, but believe me the CUPRA is the best car for the money in my counrty its the same price(fully loaded) as a base GTI, but a cupra would demolish a GTI

[@carlosbarragan1673]

naahh I wouldn like to have a car wich brand name means ASIENTO... in spanish...

[@PhlBrs]

+Carlos Barragan you know that Seat already is the Spanish name of the brand right?

[@rextetron]

Pffft...FWD car is just not the same. And not to mention VAG famous reliability, and the fact that 2.0TFSI is consuming a shitload of engine oil. But yeah - it's also fast when it gets going after the crazy wheelspin.

[@carlosbarragan1673]

claro que lo se sonso.. pero seat significa asiento... si sabes no???? even Jeremy clarkson said that SEAT is an stupid name... wich means ASIENTO . obviamente los idiotas que no saben ingles creen que SEAT es cool pero un ingles escucha SEAT y dice me comprare un auto marca ASIENTO...

I have yet to see the rear diff cutout from overheating at track days and im in Texas

[@bkglall798]

drift mode was meant to compensate for the poor turning radius, instead of doing a U turn, put it in drift mode and do a donut

[@JimmBeCreepin]

I don't understand why anybody would pay double the base price of a Focus for the RS. $40k is an absurd amount of money for a focus of any trim level

[@hardslapshot]

So this or the current VW Golf GTI? Which would you choose?

[@josherrino]

Agreed with everything else but the seats. That's what a test drive is for, a THOROUGH ONE. A euro fit is subjective.

[@aaronhussain3873]

[@ourfutureisdark]

Great Review!

[@geethsan1567]

I haven't test-driven an RS but i gotta agree with this guy that the interior looks cheap for the price it's offered in. Should've atleast given it an Alcantara theme here and there to make it feel sporty enough. Haha, the dials look cheap too.

[@wesleyjones1169]

350 horsepower and all wheel drive with drift mode I admit sounds awesome . And the funny thing is I'll still pick the the Golf R over this because at the end of the day it's still just another Ford nothing special. Basically it's just a riced rental car with a big wing.
