BIG TURBO Focus RS Review! What the Focus RS Was Always Missing

Nick Sweden don’t get the first year models otherwise for the most part it’s a really good car and you shouldn’t have any issues!

[@fc3.Qisking]

I hate that these got discontinued, for that reason. You are spot on. They price gauged these things so badly. Having a fair msrp, but trying to sell it for something else, also they weren’t really willing to move the price considering depreciation. Same with why people don’t buy type Rs. It’s a civic at the end of the day, be fair with your pricing. Mk5 Supra’s are going down the same hole, overpriced and not willing to budge in price.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

fun fact the civic type r is the same msrp as the usdm integra type r adjusted for inflation back in the 90s now consider how much faster the civic is now the pricing was there for the ford (it was cheaper than a golf r and s3) people just don't "get" hot hatches because everything needs to have stupid amounts of power and rwd

[@fc3.Qisking]

@@ShaiyanHossain totally right. Perfect combo of being sporty, but also a great grocery getter. Hot hatches are so convenient. Really wanted to get an RS, but the prices they want in my area are absurd. Nearly 60 grand for them. So many other vehicles I could get for that price or lower.

[@gt131970]

@@fc3.Qisking 60 grand still? Damn I thought the type r was bad.

[@jts400hp]

Ford dropped the Focus in the U.S so they would have to import them and that's not gonna happen. The European ST is a nice car which comes with the 2.3 and it's also offered in a auto.. When they make an RS its going to be GolfR/S3 good.

I said no to it and walked away.. 6 months later I got a call from the dealer saying that the car was seriously discounted, and if I was interested in coming back in to look at it again?? When I got there they told me that they (Ford) had dropped the price by 16k as they needed this gone by end of (2018) and it was Dec 20th. I got mine all in (including 3yrs of free maintenance, tire warranty, etc + tax) for 50k! Usual 2016 & 17 RS's ran 46k before the Maintenance\Tire and Taxes .. so 50k was a no brainier for me! I live in Toronto, Canada and ALL cars here are 10k more expensive than in the US!!

Yeah, the modern Ecoboost branded 2.0L is based somewhat on the 2.0 Ti-VCT Duratec, which is based somewhat on a Mazda design back when Ford owned a percentage of Mazda and borrowed products and designs. It's why the Mazdaspeed3 2.3L engine and modern Ecoboost engines are quite similar.

You said the older American muscle cars don't do as well in videos. But I watch this video over your more target audience and it looks like there's much more effort and excitement put into this video then the previous older American Muscle cars. Maybe im wrong but I'm sure somebody will agree with me. I don't feel like there was the same level of excitement and effort put into those videos then this video.

Nice, I'm here early for once. Big Turbo, Let's Go!

[@eightsnaps8813]

This is my dream car and I'm so sad that I couldn't afford it before they discontinued it. Now that I can afford it, I cant find one with low miles :(

[@fernandogomez3030]

They are out there, check out the focus rs classifieds on Facebook.

[@juliorosales559]

That's not why the got rid of then they only did a limited run because they had to cut down on emissions

[@andgal161]

Absolutely beautiful car man.

[@gettingplayed744]

I have a NB RS and I like the fitment what wheels and tires are those

[@santaclause6462]

When we got my Fusion my step dad said "nice car" I looked and said yeah thats a "55k Focus" he didn't believe me until he saw the window sticker. For 350hp 30k is the benchmark, why would I get a Focus RS for 55k when I can get a Nissan 370Z with 330hp(?) for 30k? For 55k I can get a Lexus RC so there's that. Subaru WRX STI and Mitsubishi Evolution are also around 30-35k here and same power range, obviously it won't sell well at that price. My Fusion also falls off aroung 4k-4.5k rpm too with the oem Borg Warner K03, atleast the RS has a K04 from factory. I got my Fusion because it was almost a awd Focus ST. Tuned, FMIC, 3" downpipe :D pretty fun for a grocery getter that can haul around the family in comfort and even fit enough to take 4 camping.

[@____Michael_____]

always loved the RS, but you could get a used z06, shelby, or even older zr1 for the same amount invested in this car

[@Guillaume0688]

It depends where you living. I'm surrounded by twisty roads and cannot dream a better car for the price!

[@____Michael_____]

@@Guillaume0688 I live in the Georgia mountains and love curvy roads. There is no way a focus has a chance at keeping up with a corvette in the twistys, thats exactly why I love corvettes. I think the RS is a cool project but the price is just awful

[@Guillaume0688]

That's your opinion 😊

[@____Michael_____]

@@Guillaume0688 well, no it's not. Unless you're talking about pro rally focuses or track cars a focus will never keep up with a corvette in the turns, even a corvette from the 90s. That's just a fact, no opinion at all.

[@tommydukes1979]

Im not a Ford fan by any means, but this one is pretty sweet

[@Stonix]

Such a good video as always dude! Sorry KZbin's algo hit weird on this one :/

[@GOINGBONKERZZ]

“Oh it’s that dude in blue” 😅😊😮

[@brandonmarks6035]

Love the RS and st

[@kuza_g]

This man only completely left out the Golf R for AWD hatches man lol.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

I know right. As expected! The GTI/R is never told of in videos like this, because they’re so much “quieter” of a car. But yet, the MK7/7.5 GTI/R, with the same mods, will completely obliterate a Focus RS, CTR, or Speed3.

[@misterchonger]

Can’t like this enough!

[@amberlampz]

What's the rim and tire setup on the car?

[@joshroy4465]

would still want to know what it is

[@allura6640]

Very nice!

[@BobThe9534]

ur 1st

[@jeffjordan8836]

Soo awesome bro.

[@kobeewatts852]

I would say since the rs is gone, I would only go with the type R, I like the veloster, but the new type R has it for me.

[@S550STANG]

Here in Canada the local dealership that I went to was trying to sell one for 74k sticker price. Pretty sad if you ask me

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

“Go home dealership you’re drunkkk”

[@BobThe9534]

74k is so much, u can buy like 3 new regular cars w/ tht price

[@jasonbougie8093]

I bought my 2018 limited edition RS for 45k$ (Canadian, in Ottawa) brand new from dealer. sticker price was $60k but they had some red tag event or whatever and it was marked down by $15k. with my trade in I was just over $30k CDN....pretty fair price I think.

[@raygotz1069]

The gouging and markup on this and the CTR was horrible, still is for the civic

[@andresortez6111]

Dealerships are horrible. Its what killed the GTO 6.0. They always want a mark up for "Special" cars

[@powellj27]

Nice video, you never mentioned the type of turbo that the stock was changed from and if the turbo actuator was replaced with aftermarket?

[@warriormonx]

It would likely be a Precision NX2 drop in twin scroll made specifically for the RS. Xona and ETS also now make set ups for this car but very very expensive
