Top Gear Ford Focus RS test

[@josephhill6863]

Both the MK2 st and rs are the best focus ever made.. I've had both and still have my st..

[@iantownsend5480]

I know this is the old Rs model now but I still really want one

[@Xavipie91]

Ian Townsend selling mine xD

[@christiann6350]

xavi er Why?

[@Eidrian111]

I’ve had both and all I can say is that I still have the mk2.

[@jamstersmith4625]

Well hope you have 20 grand

[@rickyricardo6725]

Wait until they fix the engine, coolant problem. Check it out as bad as the power shift problem in 2012-14. My case they had to buy the car back 27,500 usd not bad for a 6 year old car,hahahaa

[@SteveTwoTheO]

It costed 25k back then and it still sells used for that amount today.

[@woooster17]

Hoax It does...mine is a 2010 and cost me £24k!

[@joshuaminke6629]

my dad bought his brand new for 28k

[@deadcool2138]

Im a honda lover and love old ford mustangs..but i always liked the mk 1 rs and then this beast..hulk car in green..saying look at me ! Im a straight up beast! Lol

[@503redbull]

Seriously? Fuck in the U.S it cost $36 to $40 dollars

[@ashtea23]

N still in 2021 they are selling for more than new

[@DangerAngelous]

0:52 The result is a front-wheel drive car that produces wheels of a car to do their normal job of steering I mean... yes

Lol

[@DanielThompson-b9t]

That's one jude, I've done alterations to mine on the engine.

[@soundseeker63]

@vboytan Partly because it is a limited production run, and would require various modifications to meet US regulations, but mainly because it will out accelerate, out handle, out brake, and do more mpg that a standard V8 mustang, for roughly the same price. That might piss off a lot of existing mustang owners!

[@louiswallis8687]

soundseeker63 and it’s a manual, we know about Americans and manuals.

[@thomasdepaor1518]

Incredible machine, but the prices have gone crazy, everyone wants one

[@reeces_rs7384]

Still cheaper than a cossie but for how long tho ?

It's the best "smile" car 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 thank you ford for the focus rs mk2

Still selling for 20k Plus in 2024, Just shows how Brilliant this car is 🤯

This is such a classic, I have the 2012 Focus RS

[@speartoot5831]

[@liamnugent4146]

I've driven them all subaru BMW rs focus best car ive ever had

[@sagarasouske]

@MelancholyUnicorn Because this thing would absolutely destroy the curb appeal of the Taurus SHO or Mustang GT

[@Nakke144]

@theschuminator Sorry, but the Evos and Subarus are for different customers. Yes, they are brilliant cars, but where the RS&RS500 still do the carrying your mates&family&stuff-thing very well, the Imps and Evos don't, i mean, some Evos come without a radio ffs. The RS is a hotted-up hatchback, the Evos and Imps are rally cars for the street. Yes, they are great cars, but so is the RS. And the RS smokes the old Cossie Escort. Just check the comparision test, wich some mag made.

[@euanscotland]

Everyone's favourite car.

I love how this is pkayed on ps4

what series is this from and episode number please?

[@joshbacon8241]

Series 13, Episode 4.

[@doctorhelicopter]

A front wheel drive that produces wheels of a car too? niiice.

[@AVC-Works]

@theschuminator Mostly i drive with my hands ON the steeringwheel... I doesnt only count how fast it is from 0 till 60.. a Delta is 4x4.. a Impreza also. Whats your point??! BTW.. a Delta and an Impreza feels like al lunchbox when you close the door. A Focus almost feels like a premium car. Nothing to compare with USA Ford's...

[@ashtea23]

This is a modern escort cosworth

[@pipoo1]

@brownale66pack Except for the fact that the Volvo S40 and V50 are based on the Focus platform. Volvo obviously don't think Ford = Fail. ;-)

[@svirus88]

this focus is the best car of the word

[@MiguelGouveiaFreitas]

Wasn't the BMW 535d faster around the track?

[@quarantinejet2312]

It was

[@kristianbrandt3012]

So it had a new differential, which couldn't have been cheap. Wouldn't it be less expensive just to convert to RWD?

[@lemur2870]

To convert to RWD, you need a new rear axle, new suspension components, new driveshafts, a propshaft, new engine management, new ABS control, oh and a new diff. converting to RWD would've cost at least 10x as much VS simply a new diff

[@Nickoboss29]

How about AWD?

[@Generalkenobi325]

@@Nickoboss29again the same as above , you end up rebuilding the whole car

[@Truthteller886]

Old skool does it best

[@mistaamistaa]

@gregmoffatt It really should, it would show off its rally inspiration much better

[@Madkevin88]

@MelancholyUnicorn I would buy one this minute if they brought this here.

[@theschuminator]

Link me evidence of it doing 60 in under 6 seconds. Did you miss fifth gear? When it got beaten by the subaru? All im saying is why spend 25k in a fwd car that is No way near as fast as a stock 05 sti which most people have. Tbh i think genuine ford fans would buy a proper rs eg cosworth or escort

[@usbopening1]

how did you pit it from your ps3 to your pc?

[@vicentejr.s.oliveira6136]

The best Sport Hatch

[@vboytan]

@MelancholyUnicorn Why isn't it in our country???

[@retbul001]

Why they didnt make AWD ?? ;/

[@raptorjesus959]

is coop_jac still online? xD

[@iantownsend5480]

If I was going to buy one I'd go I want green yep I want green then chicken out & get blue

[@woooster17]

Ian Townsend Green was my only choice...an. RS Focus MK2 needs to be green..love the colour. I'll never selling mine.

[@TheoMicouris]

2:02 look at him jack the wheel

[@Madkevin88]

@superford500 They should offer it as an option.I'd prefer 2 wheels for street use myself, less maintenance, and crap to break, better mpg, and less drivetrain power loss for better rolling speeds.

[@stevesugg2532]

The driving bits are on the wrong side.

Filming this with your Xbox? You better believe that's a paddlin'.

never be better than a sierra or escort rs cossie

@theschuminator which lancia?

[@DT-gun]

@jasonkim11 lol awd vs fwd, and the evo has 3x the aftermarket support....in the states anyways.

[@kashemivvy1956]

Кто из 2020 года?

[@Nakke144]

@theschuminator Missed the part where he says its absolutely great to drive? Missed the RS500 test, where he says its unbelivably fun? Never read a review of the RS? Apparently not. And the standard RS does 0-60 in below 6sec. The Integrale is quicker, because its lighter, cuz it does not have things like airbags, satnav, ESP, etc.etc. You sir, seem just like a internet warrior/troll, who has never driven anything else in his life then a diesel VW Polo.

Lovely!

[@theschuminator]

@Nakke144 it has 300bhp and it does 60 in 6seconds. A Lancia delta intergrale has 210bhp 60 comes in 5.7 18 years older.A subaru will do 60 in 5 or under for half the price. Did you miss the bit where the steering wheel decided it wanted a mcdonalds and vigerously turned left? the rs500 and this is all just a waste of time

[@Ouwtlawzzz]

what is tge song at 2:25?

[@TheCuntreeboi]

Yes??

[@theschuminator]

id hate to drive that. Why put 300bhp through the front wheels as 1.40 shows? Its not like its even quick and for alot less money you can buy an evo or wrx. oh dear me ford should save there money and put the mk1/2 escorts into production

[@Drewtitus]

ford is a world wide company.....

[@CrazyMotorMaster]

With its headquarters in Dearborn Michigan, America.

[@Nakke144]

@theschuminator That just proves you dont know what you are talking about. EVERY expert who has driven the RS praises its handling.

[@Fatmonger]

@retbul001 Apparently the designers felt it changed the feel of the car too much :/

[@Brants10]

Playstation Network FTW!

[@luisjaircamarillocorona3870]

Nostalgia

[@theschuminator]

Actually on that topic for the price of an rs, you could go for a new evo/sti and an escort cosworth.The intergrale is a better car full stop which is why it won 6 world titles, And you boy obvouisly dont know what torque steer/understeer and also how 4wd is better then 2wd "cuz" you know nothing

[@r13t0]

does anyone knows whats the track playing from 0:11 -0:29

[@RobertLeather]

ha ha ha. Sorry it's taken 7 years to reply. But I think it's Fuel My Fire by The Prodigy, from the album The Fat Of The Land. If I have the track wrong, it's definitely The Prodigy.

@MelancholyUnicorn ford's a european company now... ...or at least, it might as well be.

[@jamiej2k6]

Respond to this video... no the rs version is. normal focuses are shit

[@theschuminator]

Nakke forgive me fifth gear say it gets to 60 in 5.9

[@ripperman7197191]

ford is a world co.

[@esca8652]

it looks pretty badass, but it's way too much for the money, a mazdaspeed3 would be way more reasonable over this car.

[@theschuminator]

So if you wanted to buy a Subaru not saying that I would but who in the right mind would spend 20k more for 2wd? haha no1. You spend 10k or more less buying a Delta, something that hasnt depreciated... in 10 years time focus rs will be what 10-15k?
