Driving my Focus RS MK2! Describing why I love it, and how it compares to a Mk3 RS!

Hi guys - thought I’d take you on a drive with me and have a chat about the RS, and close the debate about Mk2 vs Mk3. We hit some nice roads along the way 😊

[@kevinsainty9580]

Great video I'm 66 and bought one 5 months ago love it your never to old love taking it out

[@robertyates6913]

And here I'm thinking I'm the oldest Mk2 RS owner in the world at 60. :)

[@kevinsainty9580]

@@robertyates6913 Rob it's nice to hear someone who loves ford rs even at our age i had a escort rs lot of years ago always loved the focus RS mk 2 so when I bought one everyone said i was having a mid life crisis lol but when I'm behind the wheel it doesn't matter you feel great and when you're in it people always looking at the car I've had a fue Ford's but there's something special about this one keep young

[@pianov8]

Well I'm 62 and just picked up a 2 owner blue rs couple of weeks ago. Also got elec orange st with mountune. Had an rs in 2009. Had Porsche sl55 AMG. Xkr. Now back to my Ford's.

[@robertyates6913]

Well i got told on one of my videos that i'm too old at 47 to be driving a FRS ... so i'm happy now 😂

The mk2 for me every day of the week, it looks like how an RS should look.

[@EVILGT]

I agree, looks much better than the 1 and 3

[@ga002078]

Absolutely right , best looking , best sound , best feeling , perfect epic one

[@TheImjeeves]

I always see the RS's like a family. Mk1 the dad, old but a strong bloodline, and the return of an old herritage. Mk2, the older brother, has the most character, a lives up to it's name of a crazy hot hatch. mk3, younger brother, more modern and filled with tech, but doesn't have the same brute feeling as the older cars. Still is part of the family and owns it's space.

[@danielrawlings8090]

I agree with you on all points there but then I saw what Shmee 150 did to his MK3 Focus RS Red Edition Mountune. If only money was no problem 😊

[@colinmumford4089]

Mk3 is nice but would chose the mk2 every time because of the looks and sound of the 5 cylinder

Totally agree with you. I own an RSmk2 and I have friends owning mk1 and mk3, I had the chance to drive them all and I won't change my mk2 for no one of them with no regrets.

Managed to get out in mine this week, I took it over to SCC in St Albans for its service & MOT.. smiled every second there and back. It reminded me why I love my Mk2 so much!

I have almost the same, a MK2 ST with a custom map, huge 5" cat back exhaust - really loud, RS Clutch, upgraded induction kit, roughly 300hp, will keep with a stock RS. So much fun, not good on fuel, good handling, but can't put power through 2 front wheels in lower gears - 3rd gear and higher is great.

[@DavidTaylor-xd5ng]

I just bought a mk3 last week in nitros blue. I’d been looking for ages for a good second hand example, having decided not to buy brand when they first came out as working away from home I wouldn’t have got the use out of it. I only work in the UK now so I took the plunge and I’m not disappointed. Ideally I’d like a mk2 as well, don’t tell the wife I’m even thinking this lol but that’s only a pipe dream. Yours looks fantastic but bog standard is my way to go though I couldn’t fault anyone if they want to go down the tuning route. Nice clip and keep up the good work.

I have owned a mk2 st500 for a year now and it's the best car I've bought and I'll never sell it.

I think the Mk3 is a better all rounder and better as a daily. If you want a weekend toy, something that gives you a sense of occasion then I definitely think you can't beat the MK2.

[@rsnuts5771]

For me it’s about the RS badge Being an enthusiastic I like them all

[@alexlovelady6310]

Personally the Mk1 is my favourite cause a Mk1 Focus was my first car but I still love the Mk2 and Mk3

[@michaelb9664]

I enjoy your videos. I’m actually not a huge fan of the Mk2 RS, I started watching your channel when you had the Mk3 as I was considering having one as a daily. You explain your reasons behind changing to a Mk2 well, it’s clearly a hell of a car! You’re one of the better people on KZbin for getting across the feel of a car and how engaging the experience behind the wheel is. Your reasons for keeping it mostly garaged are valid. It’s an old car now, daily use would take it’s toll. If you want to keep it as a long term toy then it makes sense to keep it as you do. I agree that the Mk2 RS is something to cherish now. People have laughed at me for keeping a MG ZR as a garage toy. Yeah it’s worthless and most people laugh at them, but I’ve had it sixteen years from new. It’s immaculate and It was the most fun I could have within my budget at the time and I genuinely love the rawness and feel of it so I’ve kept it. It’s your car do with it as you please, if that means it only comes out in the dry then so be it. You’ll reap the benefits as time goes on. I think the way a car makes you feel is actually more important than outright performance. You convey the way a car feels and I enjoy your content because of it. I’m more of a old school Ford fan, the old Escorts and Capris - but I still take an interest in the Fiesta ST & Focus ST/RS of any generation. My daily is now a MG ZT-T, cheap and easy to DIY maintain, great for putting mountain bikes into the back of it and it’s a rewarding drive. I can’t bring myself to finance or PCP a car which will only deteriorate and loose value. Just doesn’t seem worth it. To me what you’re doing with this RS makes perfect sense.

[@Scott555ish]

I'm looking at Mk2 now aswell. Listening to you rattle through all the faults on your Mk3 it sounded like I'd handed you the script. I had all those issues on my Mk3. It actually needed its 3rd steering rack by the time I sold. Such a shame.....

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

Loved my mk2 rs in ultimate green but really wanted to buy a mk3 rs now it running the m400r it keeps me smiling every time I drive it, I dont buy the same car twice but still think the mk2 rs is brilliant car cheers steve👍😀

[@martinwatts434]

Another great vlog, just love the sound of the 5 pot, should never of sold my st. Looking forward to more videos.

[@AlanXR6]

Great video ... So good to see you give it a boot full and the smile it puts on your face. ... just love the sound of that 5 cylinder engine! While I don't have a Mk2 RS I have a modified Mk2 ST 225 (It's called an XR5 here in Australia) that's putting out similar power to an RS also driving through an LSD. It's a smashing car to drive through a twisty mountain road ... it grips and goes and just sounds glorious doing so.

[@blackflagpirate3444]

You made the wright choice Gary! Hold its money more than the Mk3 RS because of the issues.🍻👍

[@braamkotze473]

You drive my dream car man. Great video of you just enjoying your machine on a lovely rode. And yes, the engine does make it a legendary vehicle. Had a Fokus St with the 2.5 i5. The engine sound makes it so special, and now seeing your vid I would really love to own a Mk2 RS. Hold on to her!

[@adambeaver1749]

Hiya Gaz! Believe it or not....as one of your real early subscribers....this is probably one of thee best videos you've done in my opinion! Personally I think you've done the right thing in going back to the MK2 RS. It looks and sounds way better in every way....proper old skool and raw ! It's weird because like your Mk3 RS it was similar to my older Audi TTS....the car was doing most of the work for you, with 4 wheel drive and electronic aids....and after 2 years....although lightening fast off the line....it became a little boring because it took some of that driving feel away! That's why I went for a FK8 Civic Type R ....because it's very similar to your Mk2 RS in its driving style....albeit bang up to date with its modern aids....it just makes you more focused and its a more raw driving experience....the only thing it lacks is that beautiful sound of your 5 pot !! One of the sweetest sounding engines in my opinion is the 5 pot....hell, years ago I had a 5 pot Volvo S60 diesel...and it sounded gorgeous....as did my 5 pot Alfa 156 diesel ! 🤣 Your RS like you say is so rare....pretty much like my Type R. Funnily enough I was following a Mk3 RS on Tuesday in my Type R, and even though it was in nitrous blue....I thought my FK8 in Championship White looks way better than the RS....I think the Mk3 looks very anonymous like you said until you get up close....I even think they look quite boring these days! I love your Mk2....and being a car guy like yourself....it would turn my head every day of the week! Your right in what you say about the front wheel drive hot hatches....they are a dying breed now....hence why I bought the Type R....I wanted one of the last great hot hatches with a manual, before the powers that be kill em off and we're herded down the path of electric appliances!! Probably not explained it very well, but think you might hear what I prattling on about ? 🤔🤣 Awesome vid again and keep the real world motoring channel flying high for us ordinary folk !! ( Just a quick note....you can hear the 5 pot a lot better with the windows shut, but you've probably noticed that in your edit ) ! Best thing you did was 'de mod' it and go back to the OEM look! Looks way classier now....original is always the best bet ! I've watched that many of your vids....you feel more like a mate! 🤣🤣👍

[@Chefcouchon]

Great to be able to drive again

[@invisible1955]

Fabulous car - would love the opportunity to take one out for a spin!

[@hithere8699]

I've had 2 MK2s in my time and Mk3 too, RAWness is the right word, you feel everything, your in touch with the road and quite rightly you have to work the car. Sometimes there are too many features and comforts that take away from the driving experience. MK2 over Mk3 all day long if you want proper raw driving experience. If you want creature comforts then MK3. Make we want a MK2 again and when I see an RS coming down the road the MK2 takes more head turns than a MK3. MK2 is a drivers car. And you can't beat the Volvo 2.5 the torque is immense and for me beats the MK3 hands down for driving experience. And I love the deep intake of breath after a boot, takes me back to 2010, you know you've had a drive after being out in a MK2.

[@petergalbraith3422]

Hit the nail on the head, the Mk2 has such character and makes you grin every time you drive it; that's all you need from a car, who cares that the interior is dated?! I love the fact that you can just get in it and go, no need to faff around with suspension settings, modes, blah blah blah - can't be doing with any of that! New cars are tame and, generally, pretty boring. The Mk2 FRS is anything but! I love mine :)

[@kamsingh5696]

That overtake!😍👌🏽The Mk2 Focus with a few modifications is a beautiful drive for the RS old school amongst us. Raw and personal. Not "programmed" like the MK3 or a wrestling match like the MK1. Looks Unique and beefy. Definitely agree. Cult car status.🙂 (Polybush and swaybars). Can't recommend enough to flatten the cornering along with any future suspension mods. Food for thought. 😉

[@andysaphcozi8619]

Great video, think you have made the best decision going from the Mk3 to Mk2. I have drove both and i personally think the Mk2 is loads better. Looks better, sounds better, and those 5 pot Volvo engines are bullet proof. Reminds me of the YB engine, you can just mod them to what you want and it will keep going. If i didn't have my Sapphire Cosworth the Mk2 RS Focus would be my next choice, love em.

Mk1 rs very special feeling to drive, under powered to modern cars and does need a remap at least also 5 speed gearbox doesn't help. Mk2 sounds the best by far feels special and has power to rival modern cars. Mk3 all wheel drive is superb but feels the chassis could handle 100bhp more easy. I like the raw feeling of the Mk2 but owning a Mk1 I'm biased can't help it :)

nice car although a lot of R.s are money pits. Any "A/B" roads are not just for cars, where are the cyclists supposed to go? They were already hugging the edge of the road. We all want to go fast on a twisty road but cyclists have just as much right to be there as you.
