Bet BBC won't be happy about having 'the Stig' in the title

drifting part starts from

[@djblc2201]

one of the best reviews I've seen, well done Roadshow

[@nhnoreaster]

I love it.. an WRX STI owner actually humble and not afraid to notice there's some better things about the RS. Most of the WRX owners I talk with about my RS just whine with butt hurt. They're both good cars. I don't know why people get so polarized and act like children... "mine's better" "no, mine's better"

Tim, I like your work a lot. Keep it up!!

[@kilobak2297]

Nice review. Subscribed :)

[@CMH_1975]

I have to disagree with you having more tech in these cars. No need for adaptive cruise or lane keep in these cars only to drive the price up even more. Just pay attention to what you're doing. Ford's packages suck by sticking a bunch of stuff that some people don't want with a bunch of stuff people do want. Less is more in these types of cars!

Great review - thanks Tim and Stig!! I would love to see more Hot Hatches in the US. Maybe Chevy will turn one out with a Cruz SS 2.0L turbo...

[@MiroslavAdice]

Tim, have you turned off ESC after selecting drift mode? I've read about that just selecting drift mode does not turn off ESC completely and you should turn it off after manually.

Several other reviewers have the same concerns about the seating position. They suggested going with the stock seats.

[@bob15479]

Can't you use left foot braking to mitigate the turbo lag?

[@ahmedp800]

Where is Cooley On Cars?

[@sethalton205]

Lane Keep Assist = Stay the fuck off your phone and drive...

[@silverbullet1979]

good video, but the review is just spot-on, technical & definitely a must-watch video review of the new Focus... btw I kinda hate the RS in black, seems dull....

[@laurahunt5146]

My past car was a fiesta st150 with standard wheels wrapped in toyo r888r tyres and every pot hole was brutal my RS in comparison sails over them like they were not even there and that’s me driving the same road every day for the past 6 years.

[@jimbob5147]

I need to buy this... DRIFT MODE!!! We will never see this again in the auto industry

[@iShockStudio]

Best thing about this car is it will put some pressure on Subaru to improve the STI.

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

Lane Assist for those who can't drive straight, and Adaptive Cruise Control for those don't know how to modulate a gas pedal.

[@markfitzpatrick2044]

Did the car have the Recaro Seats? Is that seat higher than the standard seat?

[@TeaRexTheMighty]

This one cost pretty much twice as much in Norway compared to the US. Would perhaps stick with the older WRX or STI.
