Matt Buys a 2016 Ford Focus RS! - First Canyon Drive

Matt ordered his Focus RS over a year ago, and took delivery in mid-June. Now, join us for our first-ever canyon day together! The 350 HP, All-wheel-drive Focus RS is the first car from Team RS to make it to the US, and it's going to be Matt's daily driver for the next three years.

[@narekhart9862]

"I will never take my car drag racing because drag racing is boring" THANK YOU 🙏

[@living4adrenaline]

McRae said it, "Straight roads are for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers."

[@iangriffith3940]

I loved this, showed the realistic side of the RS. Less about the drift mode, 1/4 mile times, flat out acceleration, more of what it's really like to own one of these! Im happy for you dude nice ride:D

[@michaelcruz8742]

I bought my 2016 RS and I love it

[@BossTweed69]

Have you ever had any issues with it?

[@michaelcruz8742]

Bad Abs censor I wasn't able to choose drive mode as a daily driver not so good I have a Elantra GT Sport as my daily so all depends on the mood I am but it a great car with great potential in my opinion

[@rightfight100]

In the AWD groups this car is loved and hated for being a Focus, but I honestly love this car.

[@dieseltorque8187]

Thank you for the excellent review!!!! I have been waiting 13 years for this car. Ever since I owned the only new car I ever had a 2003 zx3. I hope I can get one in the next two years.

[@jeff_bradley]

Love your bit about drag racing. Totally agree, all about the level of engagement. Congrats on the RS, she's a beaut!

[@xcvsdxvsx]

I just said "its the moment ive been waiting for!" to my wife like 1 second before you said it.

[@mrhawk1924]

Get a Veloster N. Or GT kia Stinger

[@xcvsdxvsx]

@@mrhawk1924 Actually think I'm getting a model 3. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. I'll miss the drama of an IC engine. But the quietness has its own benefits. I have no need to go long ranges with my toy car either so couldnt care less about the difficulty of taking it cross country.

[@Bournefort]

It's too bad that Ford, Chevy, and Dodge stopped sedan/car production. The SRT4 was an amazing vehicle and now that the Focus RS is done, there is nothing to fill the void of compact performance cars. Great review.

[@perez5249]

Congrats on the new ride Matt. Nice purchase. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing it with us. btw, I think it sounds just fine.

[@Dgannt]

Matt, you say it's comfortable? When Ford introduced this car in Spain, almost all test drivers mentioned the harsh ride. Very good through curves but very harsh ride, and that on silky smooth Spanish roads, in COMFORT mode. They all said forget sport or sport+ on roads. Autocar tested it against Golf R and all test drivers preferred the Golf R 9/10 of the time, except when mid corner. The R was easier to live with, more comfortable as a daily, better quality materials, well everything was better, except that 1/10 which was mid corner. I'm glad you like it. Different cars fit different people. Have fun.

[@PANTYEATR1]

I may be tripping, but I don't think I seen one speed limit sign on that road...

[@narekhart9862]

Once I was ripping down the same canyon when a cop stopped me for having no stickers lmao I was surprised nobody cares if u speed there

[@RarelyReplies]

great car. tire and rim combo makes it look low end. noticed that right out of the gate

[@RobertWaterhouse]

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. For the performance and technology you're getting I don't think $41000 is crazy at all. You're getting a car with the legendary RS badge in the US! You can't pay too much for that. I have a 2015 SE hatchback with a 5-speed and the luxury package (which includes 4-wheel disc brakes and 17" wheels) and it's a blast to drive in the mountains. People who knock the current Ford Focus obviously have never driven one. They are a great performance bargain if you get the right equipment. Enjoy your new toy. I'm totally envious!

[@hamronD73]

Thank you for being an educated sensible person on this comment forum. People like you are far and few between Robert.

[@RobertWaterhouse]

hamronD73 thanks for the comment, most appreciated. ☺️

[@RobertWaterhouse]

+hamronD73 appreciate kind words. Very happy to be able to make a contribution.

[@WindmillStalker]

Sweet ride, Matt! It's a good car and if you're happy with it, that's all that counts, man. Love the colour too.

[@heelsarefun4me]

Nice purchase, I was looking at one of those but after owning an 11 Sti the wife would only let me get a dsg golf R. Enjoy the car, I wish my golf had drift mode that looks like fun.

[@XCVi_MAC]

would this smoke TJ hunts Rides ? Lol.

[@davidhidalgo8465]

From a dig definitely but on a roll it would probably be a tie or it might lose by a bit

[@Prodriver33]

who is TJ hunt?

[@kbalbas98]

Anything is faster than TJ's ride if he's driving it.

[@davidhidalgo8465]

+KB98 lmao even a Prius ?

[@XCVi_MAC]

+Prodriver33 a KZbinr kid search him up. Lol. I remember When he reviewed his car and told him the Fiesta was quicker than his Ride

[@dylan4972]

I had a choice to order a new RS or spend similar money on my MR2, decided on the MR2 but this car just seems fantastic.

[@GrandmaKeith]

A nice Flowmaster exhaust setup is in the cards!

[@KyleFroman]

You just described everything my S60R has had since 2004 lol I definitely wouldn't mind one of these little rally cars though

[@hamronD73]

Your s60 R does not have a torque vectoring rear differential with 2 clutch packs on each half shaft that can send 100 percent of the engines torque to either rear wheel.

[@xboxguy727]

thanks for the video matt. most reviews for this car have too much bullshit and not enough real talk. i deeply appreciate your attitude of real road driving being front and center! i am happy to see you acquire the focus rs, you deserve it. p.s. i bought all cars go to heaven 1 & 2. fantastic, deeply inspirational films. mentally planning off road adventures in my 98 toyota.

[@TheSmokingTire]

Thanks! So glad you liked the movie!

[@Frocobo]

Gonna wait a year or so for some long term feedback before I decide on one or not. My tuned Mk1 only gets abot 5mpg when I cane it. Averages around 20 normally and around 30 on a normal motorway run.

[@Ninety7Till]

I know you love this car in the canyons Matt they feel fucking amazing through those turns

[@RC335]

Hopefully that e60 m5 will be in a one take soon

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

And at the end of the day, he was going to sell it (before deciding to get Mountune upgrades). That says a lot.

[@ieatass4591]

Kinda wish they stuck with the Inline 5. But we'll see if this 4 banger can hold its own.

[@elvenwizard12]

I have Fiat Abarth that I absolutely love, but after watching this video I wont mind having a Ford RS too.

[@turbolq4]

Sweet ride. Can't help but think you could have any of the current pony cars for that kind of scratch though. Scat Pack Challenger is looking pretty sweet!

[@HorsepowerKingscom]

Very cool, love the Nitrous Blue. Congrats.

[@lispydavid]

Nice car but way over priced for what you get.

[@SlidTossedPissed]

Ford has spent 10yrs... getting to the point of having a hatch, with power, and paint and awd -even though its a complete bullshit option and or package- paired with the trans... And you base it being overpriced.. against.. what? -- The WRX / STI? The car runs LOCKSTEP with everything in its catagory. Its more effort than the last gen Mazdaspeed3... Its got Honda beat against the Civic hatch for the U.S or U.K... VW... is eh. Who else sells.. a compact hatch, with paint and power with a current option list for cheaper (thats also worth a damn)?

[@hamronD73]

What do you have to say to that reply Lispy fish? Huh? nothing, that's right.

[@lispydavid]

hamronD73 Id have to say im trying to fucking sleep mate and that for 40k I could get a 2010 uses gtr

[@lispydavid]

SlidTossedElemental Dude you spent so much time getting triggered and typing that for me to read it and go "what a fucking idiot"

[@petergenzer474]

Really? Cheapest 2010 GT-Rs I see anywhere are $52-60k with 50k+ miles. Not comparable.

[@ty99016]

Congrats Matt!

[@Jmanmadness23]

Good call on the tax advantages as a small business owner. Hope you enjoy your ride!

[@jayjayrizo]

woah woah woah woah, whats up with that V10 super sedan in the beginning?! please let that be a part of something soon...

[@mrhawk1924]

2 yrs ago I bought a Veloster Turbo 2016 with the 10 yr warranty. Still runs great in 21. Congratulations Biden and Harris

[@jtjtrs8806]

pretty kool car! its small but packs a punch !

[@jonahhitchcock5821]

Was hoping you'd talk trash about your own car, and you did 👌🏻

[@paulg7964]

Nice car. I love the hot hatch rides. I gotta say you're brave to buy a new drive train from Ford. I learned the hard way how Ford runs away from warranty related problems. Corporate level too, NOT the dealer. Subaru needs to bring back the hatch with a new motor.

[@fastballfilms4214]

A stickier tire is silly matt? Lmao good job

[@NoahBB]

Do you wish you had switched to the GT350(R) or are you happy with the choice of sticking to the RS?

[@abendiaye3330]

The new rivalry; Focus RS vs Subaru STi. I really hope Subaru retires that old EJ25 motor and replaces it with the FA20 for the next gen STi. Otherwise, this Focus RS is going to be a serious threat to the STi. I own a WRX and its plenty of fun, the new FA20 motor is wonderful and very reliable. Congratulations on your new RS. It seems like loads of fun!

[@bradlombardo]

looks like the passenger motor mount is already showing oil ?? must be the same one in my MS3 or coolant spill

[@jaedeeim123]

Have you guys ever thought about investing in a 360° camera?

[@22358]

Just wondering if the engine is already break in.

[@junehhan]

How do those Recaros compare to some of the other Recaros you have driven in as far as comfort is concerned. That is what is keeping me from ordering this.

[@hamdanalharbi2206]

wish to see more of the unique car builds ... mainstream gets boring after a while.

[@avii5429]

Liked it before, love it now. Definitely want one also. Are they limited in any fashion? I'd expect so, so I'd probably have to wait until next gen

[@Reesecup1200]

what happened to the fiesta? Your last line about warranty makes me wonder if it is still living?

[@Maccaroney]

Does the RS have the "enhanced engine sound" through the speakers? I wish we could hear the turbo.

[@msabbagh4518]

When are you posting the video of the e60 M5? Hope it's not SMG..

[@riveracarlos328]

LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, IT'S YOUR MONEY AND YOU CAN DO AS YOU PLEASE. I WOULDN'T MIND THOSE SEATS IN MY LIGHTNING. I HAVE AN SVT FOCUS, IT WAS FUN, BUT NO POWER

[@poker_18rs92]

Fast forward to 2019 & some dealers are still getting 38k for these things used. The RS market is insane & unfortunately it's hard to get a deal when people keep overpaying for them.

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

PokerRun388 I’m seeing $31k-34k with 10k miles, under $30k with 25k-30k miles nowadays.

[@keirinmaster]

(chuckle) I liked the comment about the abysmal turning radius and you wondered if it was the all wheel drive or something. Nah. My ST's the same way. I feel like I'm parking my friend's GMC Denali when I'm parking that thing. Love the car but that turning radius sucks..... bad.

[@Truepk]

wait you paid 41k so you got the extra winter wheels? or was that 5k above the rs2 package msrp?

[@Blixer7]

The car is cool. Wish ford had a 2-door hatch option.

[@bm3turbo10]

congrats dude

[@Summon-Zero]

Wait so is he leasing it or does he own it? He said the word lease but then he was talking about how he spent 40 grand. I'm confused.

[@mbafalosable]

Matt, why you did not put the racing seats ?

[@grantkahale8933]

Hey Matt, very nice car! I have a question on the steering feel. I know you said it feels very direct, but does it have a heavy feel to it? or does it feel light in weight?

[@DracolegacyOfficial]

kinda want the car but i want your sunglasses more

[@Otownliving]

so if you can't afford the RS is the fiesta ST still a good deal for your money ?

[@UltimaRSfan]

when do you plan on doing a second video of the focus rs?

[@MegaDav0]

Nice review

[@JacobM5M3]

Did you drive the M5 in this video? if so, When are you dropping that video?

[@TheSmokingTire]

Probably about 8 weeks out. The RS got bumped up the queue. The M5 is not time sensitive so it goes in line

[@kevinkrecker]

pls make a vid if you fit a new exhaust system to that bae

[@davidhidalgo8465]

Hey Matt how can I get a hold of you if I want you to review my car? It's a 03 Golf GTI turbo with some mods.

[@yipzone]

Sounds nice

[@aarontharris]

@TheSmokingTire I'm not hearing the excitement in your voice. Did you choose this as your daily driver because its the best performing hatchback in the US market and it looks cool, or did you choose it because its truly badass? Thanks

[@aarontharris]

PS - Congratulations on your purchase

[@unleashmybicho]

Hope you enjoy it Matt! Drive the snot out of it good sir

[@ryandrivescanada]

How does it heel/toe compared to the Mustang?

[@stefan-stocksmadesimple5241]

Please do a M5 V10 review someday , please

[@joselessconstantino1155]

Where is "the canyons" located?

[@Jb-mp1in]

Let's see a 03 04 cobra review

[@nizodizo9549]

You can buy a Ford Mustang GT for MSRP 32,650.

[@MikeHuntIsItchy]

Nice car, for what it is, if you don't place a price tag on it. If this car was 28k-30k, NICE! For $40k+, nah, never. A FULLY loaded new 5.0 is almost the same price tag...which is a MUCH better value. But that's just my opinion, I suppose the ST has left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I suppose since I don't do canyon stuff and only drag stuff, my needs are different.

[@jakewright5965]

What type of sunglasses are those I've always wondered

[@TheSmokingTire]

dillon optics! use the link on our web site and I'll send you a free T-shirt when you order a pair

[@XxPRniqquhxX]

wish you would come to event in fl so you can review my 93 Ford escort gt :/

[@CanIgetSuscriberswithnov-ci3dw]

Who's m5 is that in the background? Can you review the m5

[@MagicGuy669]

Congrats on your car man!

[@HarryVerolme]

I would purchase this simply for the color.

[@holdthissl]

That seems like a great reason to buy a car

[@momouppa]

yeah the blue looks good!

[@klasseact6663]

AGREED!

[@momouppa]

+dumbinternetshittalking to match my blue balls

[@Eric_D_6]

Wasn't there some study a few years back which found that color was the biggest factor in the average person's decision to buy a car?

[@stereolababy]

he's already over it.

[@Cornwall1888]

He's spoiled with all the great cars he drives

[@bobasaurus7]

He drives all kinds of crazy cars day after day, his reactions are always going to be a bit more muted compared to "normal" people.

[@AaronSmith561]

Spoiled? Who spoils him?

[@RyanFiore211]

It's too refined for Matt lol

[@Cornwall1888]

***** he spoils himself, it's not a criticism don't try to get butthurt, fact is due to his job he gets to drive the fastest craziest cars around

[@cs5250]

You made the right choice on this car as compared to a golf R

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

Not.

[@cs5250]

CJBMAGGOT94 Alright, prove yourself. What's so wrong with it

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

Chad Stuetzel Nothing just personal preference. Focus RS looks fun, just to boy racer type. I'm partial to VW, and you are to Ford obviously. Golf R = understated, classy, gorgeous, highly tuneable, and way better build quality than Ford can do. Not dogging on the RS at all though. I would still drive one.

[@cs5250]

CJBMAGGOT94 I'm for Chevy more than I am Ford. It's deceiving since I drive a Mustang but that's because it was the best car available when I was looking for one. My next goal is a C6 zo6

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

Golf R all the way.. No markup. More mature and grown up and just as fast and exciting. What do you expect. It comes from VW they own the Porsche group.

[@maxhi88]

Your "One Takes" are one of the best reviews here on youtube!

[@Camy8211]

They're very good, but its not the best due it being a "one take." i.e only a couple cameras, no camera crew, no mic at exhaust, no drones, etc. He could pull million plus views if he had these.

[@Zanpaa]

Cameron Naidoo: in his experience, increasing production values does almost nothing for views, but makes the video exponentially more expensive to create. Hence the "one take" format.

[@Zanpaa]

Nik Brudar I'm sure you have a great experience reviewing cars on youtube with varying levels of production value.

[@Zanpaa]

Nik Brudar You should probably start a youtube channel reviewing cars then.

[@maxhi88]

Cameron Naidoo I like it simple!

[@homer23422000]

Matt, people that give you shit for buying a $40K Focus RS are usually the pretentious people that care too much about the badge on the car, or people that are too biased or judgemental about all cars, and want to segregate themselves into one or a few cars/brands.

[@vernonprice5986]

So Chris Harris kind of slammed the Focus RS on Extra Gear on Sunday. He said pretty much all it does is understeer, and he wasn't a fan. Is that just because Chris drifts everything in existence so if it's not RWD he doesn't like it? Was he overreacting, or did he have a point? I haven't really heard of the RS understeering, so it kind of caught me by surprise.

[@curvaholic]

Well it kinda is a FWD based car with a torque being sent to the rear wheels when slip is detected kinda like a cr-v so I see where chris is coming from.

[@Zanpaa]

Chris Harris absolutely loves the Renault Megane Trophy-R, which is FWD. (It doesn't understeer though...)

[@eugenehvorostyanov2409]

I'm with Chris on that. On paper there is nothing special about RS. AWD system not in any way close to those clever systems with center diff (STI, EVO). Power, not high enough for such heavy car even considering claimed numbers. Fancy suspension - again nope.

[@DocHavoc0512]

Matt is driving on the road, I'd suspect understeer is less pronounced because he's not thrashing the car

[@MyRealName]

megane DOES understeer a bit, just like any fwd with lsd in front.

[@kobedabest]

4000 rpm for boost to kick in??? Damn... I thought my EVO at 3500 rpm was laggy

[@MustBHacks]

That's not what lag is bud.

[@lowslowfoz]

+MustBHacks Yeah it is?

[@oscardominguez1680]

My R34 with stock boost builds up boost at 3000

[@fillecool2]

In my opinion turbo lag is when you get on the throttle and have to wait for the turbo to spool up, thus more noticeable with larger turbos. I would have to agree with mustbhacks

[@coopsnz1]

My wrx sti is. 4000rpm , gtr is. 4000rpm , evo is 4000 rpm . Only the ej257 are Before 4000rpm

[@BboyMobster]

I'm happy for you Matt! You have a car collection that every man dreams of lol. The focus rs and the gtr I drool over 😂😂

[@TheSmokingTire]

Sold the GTR!

[@BboyMobster]

TheSmokingTire nooooo. Why get rid of the legend?

[@TheSmokingTire]

+Kwezzy got a great offer on it

[@BboyMobster]

TheSmokingTire I can't blame you Matt! I had to follow you on Instagram so I don't miss out on thing lol. Like I had no clue you sold the Delorean. Since you leased this RS will they give you a tough time if you mod it?

[@BarbWaltersMusic]

sold the GTR also? wow

[@smilepermile888]

In Europe, the Focus RSs are built in the same factory as the european-spec regular model Focus & Fiesta in Cologne, Germany. I guess the build quality of the european spec fords are better than the North American spec Fords built in Mexico?

[@tuta123seb]

As far as i know, ford's built in mexico dont get shipped to the US.

[@max4309]

They gotta go back

[@coopsnz1]

Focus , mondeo , fiesta made in Thailand . Have been since. 2010

[@mailman0005]

St's are made in Michigan

[@smilepermile888]

Ben Chesterman Not the euro spec ones though

[@RumblestripDotNet]

350 Crank horsepower should equal 287-298 Wheel horsepower given a 15-18% driveline loss.

[@coopsnz1]

Awd 25% drive train loss . 50kw is about 67 hp lost atw

[@RumblestripDotNet]

AWD is usually about 20% for cars, 4wd in truck and SUV's can approach 25%. My comment was based on Matt's comment in the first couple minutes about people reporting so called wonky dyno numbers.

[@DaWAFFLES1]

The car has been dynoed at 250 wheel HP. Ford over boosts the twin scroll turbo charger for 20 seconds everytime you step on the gas which when it is dynoed makes around 300 wheel horsepower. The reason why Ford can market their cars to have 350 wheel HP is because the 300 wheel HP is repeatable (Everytime you step on the gas and you can repeat it by letting of the gas then stepping back on it again), however it only lasts for 20 seconds then your back down to 250 wheel HP and that's why people have been getting weird dyno numbers.

[@cs5250]

my stock mustang is rated for 300 at the crank and it's dynoed at 271 at wheels

[@Prodriver33]

my subaru dynoed 134hp and 141lb/ft at the wheels. JELLY?

[@subarufreakdd]

as a die hard Subaru enthousiast, I love your videos! I'm a car enthousiast by hart so I love everything with power!! looking forward to more videos of this car. love the interior and how it sounds in the cabin

[@JoeGo101]

Yeah I heard leasing for a business owner can be very beneficial. Since your able to write off the full monthly payment as an expense. So you said you did the math. You dont think you would get more money back by selling it after 3 years of use?

[@TheSmokingTire]

I may, or may not. With a lease, I know ahead of time. And my time, that's whats valuable and I can't get back.

[@StormAutoAdventures]

Hey Matt, congrats on your new Focus RS man! That is one awesome machine! As always, thanks for the great video!!

[@m3giorgi]

At 1:35 My prayers have been answered with that e60 M5 in the background.

[@sharpsdoublerifle1439]

nice. another car I'll never be able to afford. Waisted my money on a ST...because they said the RS was NOT coming over here.

[@false_cypher]

I ended up getting a 2016 ST because at the time the RS was going for over 40k so I was in no way paying that. Now that it's below 40 I might go see what they will offer me for mine.

[@zak3293]

aww that sucks bro. so not fair to u

[@michaelreitz6838]

I have a 2017 ST and love it. I'd love to have an RS but like you said a little expensive for what it is in my opinion. I might get one in the future. It'll obviously be used since the RS will no longer be available after 2018.

[@sniper2606]

Boy am i glad i skipped this and got the Audi s4

[@RustyClouglin]

lmao

[@MyRealName]

a normal buyer never considers a focus rs if he considers a large luxurios twice as expensive sports sedan at the same time.

[@sluvington]

why lol

[@MyRealName]

if you are in the market for a supercar, you don't even look at a fwd sports car because those are not even similar. exaggerating here, but do you get the point? looking at that two cars would mean you have no idea what you want

[@RustyClouglin]

"I'm so glad I didn't buy the VW Polo three cylinder and instead got the 918" aka he just wanted to tell us he alledgedly has an S4.

[@whitecollarairsoft]

So at the end you talked about the lease, so does this count as a write off?

[@TheSmokingTire]

Yep!

[@whitecollarairsoft]

so since it is a write off why not purchase it? do you just not want to commit to having another car. Because the way i see it is if you buy than you have a item you can sell and potentially profit off of. I am just looking at it from a investment point of view.

[@TheSmokingTire]

+whitecollarairsoft if you lease you can write off the whole thing, not just the depreciation. Then I can wait 3 years to see if the market beats the residual before deciding to buy it out or return it.

[@whitecollarairsoft]

TheSmokingTire Ok gotcha didn't know that, Thank you! and also thanks for responding!

[@robfrmny21]

+TheSmokingTire that's con Edison blue bro trust me ford copied the color from them

[@S2kTi]

Ah so you're leasing it. That explains why you don't care for a break in period haha who knows maybe 300 miles is all they call for now. My sister had a 2012 fiesta and the build quality on that car always surprised me. So I have no doubt this is only that much better. I must say, besides the seats, the interior looked rather boring but that's fine. You don't buy a car like that for a cool interior anyways. Looking forward for more videos! Maybe a 3 way duel vs the R and STi?

[@troyalanbowman]

I was gonna say! I'm like damn he's going awfully hard for the break in period lol.

[@arch417powersports]

My sister has a 2013 base Focus and the build quality surprised me... in a bad way haha.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Ah yes, the old break-in mythsters are here!

[@S2kTi]

+archinuk417 really? The fiesta at least was really solid. No rattles at all. No creeks or anything like that and it drove very smooth

[@S2kTi]

+Brodey Dover idk man just can't bring myself to go hard on a car with less then 1k on it hah just feels bad

[@chrisjay1231]

2:52 Legendary E60 M5 spotted.

[@drfredostein4410]

It’s also in all the walk arounds of the Focus RS

[@KRBY555]

it's just too boy racer in the styling department. cool car but as a daily driver if you're over 30 it's a bit juvenile

[@ImLeuff]

it's rival is Civic Type-R. This is as mature as it gets for a super-hot-hatch before going into Merc-Audi territory

[@teechy2339]

it's a hot hatch back, completely fine in Europe.

[@jsmorel86]

haha, Ya i guess your stack of scarfs, skinny jeans and typewriters are better fit in your (insert German douchemobile). go back in starbucks and keep typing your "novel"

[@rustytoyota]

+Adam Kadmon Nobody's makes books dude, it's 2016. it's all about tumblr blogs.

[@klasseact6663]

"Boy Racer", LOL. I'm 46 and would drive this car with pride and not even think about some mid life crisis thing. This car is all about the drive and seems to jail it based on reviews, like the one Matt posted here. Does it have a wing, sure, is the front end aggressive, absolutely but the way it's done is very tasteful and purposeful. These negative comments is why you hear so many comments like "Europe always gets the good stuff, why don't we?" Then Ford "tries" with cars like the Merkur, Contour SVT and Focus SVT and they ended up being half baked efforts (I owned a 2000 Contour SVT brand new so I know what I'm talking about) Not everyone wants or can have a Mustang GT based off of where they live and how they use a car, so the FoRS fits the bill and gives you a complete driving experience and exclusivity, can't get that with a run of the mill Stang GT....PERIOD!

[@rcfrenzy]

I saw one of these ripping a small track in person, looked impressive!

[@777RY]

Wish it sounded like the old rs

[@coopsnz1]

It's not 5 cylinder . Ofcourse it won't. . Anyway mark 2 looks better
