I don't know why you're all complaining about the guy blinking a lot. Why are you watching him? Look at Matt instead or the road. If it's bothering you, don't bitch about it in the comments. Open another tab and just listen if you're going to be so dramatic about something so small.
+JoshorBrownKid People like to find flaws and bring them up. I was hopped up on two Redbulls and a 5 Hour Energy just to make the 4 hour drive there. Worst mistake I've ever made just to stay awake. And yes, I am Carl. Lol
+14CCarl no worries man, I actually enjoyed it, your nervous ticks were spot on with one of my really good buddies, and he is one of the most hilarious people I know
its quite sad people get judged these days based on their disabilities... One takes are about the car, nothing else... Nice one take, nice car.... I like his style and the way he done his mods.
+DSM jUhnky Thank you, I don't have a disability. It's just I tend to get nervous pretty easily and lets just say that being up all night being wired on Redbulls and 5 Hour Energy just to make the 4 hour drive wasn't enjoyable at all.
+14CCarl hmm... i dont think redbull and 5hr energy drinks can cause constant/random blinks and twitches as what we all noticed... if that is not a disability, its definitely not normal... thats some type of involuntary movement that cant be controlled. But either way, your car was nice... nice mods.
+DSM jUhnky well put a 5hr energy and redbulls with no sleep, long drive, having someone else drive your car while theres a camera put in your face for tens/hundreds of thousands of people to see. Yeah thatll make you fidigity and nervous. Its not not normal, its completely normal.
I like how Carl actually wants to talk about his car and give answers to the questions unlike some people who act like they're being owed something from Matt. Also, I get the blinking thingy too and my dad always calls me out for it. Its just nerves and lack of rest chill out
I may be a cybernetic human that blinks rapidly to process information that I see. Jkjk. I don't really care what people say about me, I am who I am and knowing yourself really helps dealing with people that like to call out imperfections and such. But I just get a nervous tic and sleep deprivation isn't fun at all being hopped up on energy drinks.
i daily a 2014 ST stage 3 and i just always want more power :/ i just want an RS but it cost 2x as much as my car. if i sell my car i could buy an RS but then i cant buy a house lol house > car im sick of renting and throwing my money away. i just want moeee powaaaaa
If only we could have more car channels that bring us new material almost daily! TST rulz, continued success to you guys and thank you for this awesome channel.
Great video once again and what a nice guy. To those making fun of his blinking, please stop being lame, take your judgmental, excessively strong, unsolicited minority complex home with you and keep it out of the car enthusiast community.
Matt, we spoke before and i second your comment on being a benchmark for big people. I sold my dsm and bought a mazdaspeed 3 because I saw how comfortable you looked in it!
I love it when Matt says "I like being tall and fat...I am a kind of benchmark for...." Then Carl chuckles and twitches while leaning his head forward...I love it...he did it twice...Priceless!!! Come on Matt...265 pounds....almost double my weight (I weigh 143 pounds...LOL)...
supercooled On the podcast multiple times on many different episodes. He has #1 allocation of the Focus RS from the Gallpin Ford dealer. He is planning to lease the RS and when the lease is up he will hopefully beable to get into a gt350
I dont know how comfortable I'd be as a passenger with someone driving my ST the way I do lol. but It is the most fun car I've ever driven, STOCK. Responsive, and tons of torque available in literally any situation.
Thank you for these videos, it's nice seeing what other enthusiasts are driving and how they like their car, and more importantly, how they hold up. Also, I like your reviews because you are a bigger guy, it lets me know what I can drive lol.
The Focus ST is not an American car. The standard Focus was designed by Ford of Europe, and the ST mostly by Team RS, also in Europe. But sure, the US-spec cars are built over there.
+Simon Liu The latest gen of Focus were not designed by Mazda, Ford does not work with them anymore as they are no longer owned by Ford. The latest Focus is mostly a European design.
As an ST driver with "full bolt ons" e30 tune coil overs, you name it I probably have it. I'm very pleased with this video other than the fact that mountune is the most conservative tune you can buy for the ST. Freek tune is definitely where it's at because I'm making 292whp and 371wtq compared to 280 crank hp and 355 tq
+Brandon Cardoso I didn't want to go too crazy with the tuning, but everybody in California ST recommended Randy for me. Eventually when my built motor jar reaches 7k. Carillo pistons, rods, keyed crank and timing chain sprockets, big turbo "still deciding which one to get", Stratified aux fuel system, HKS BOV, SPEC stage 3+ clutch and a Stratified calibration would be in order for Hannah. I want a 450 HP daily driver so badly, but I don't want to sacrifice reliability which is why I'm beefing the internals up.
That's smart though i know Randy writes good tunes and they're very reliable. In fact a lot of the my buddies in Atlanta ST club use him. I also want to go big turbo but im not looking to daily it with that much power. Personally i wanted the gtx2867r kit stratified sells, but i don't have the money for it unfortunately.
Have you considered letting the car's owner drive for a small part of the One-Take? It'd be interesting to see how the owner pushes the car, at least for a bit. I'm not sure I've fully thought out that idea though.
I'm sick of hearing about the torque steer on the Mazdaspeed, and I'd like to change your opinion about that for good. Matt, if you're ever in dirty Jersey, I invite you to drive my Mazdaspeed3 and show you what some proper mods/tires and tune can do to this car.
All of them tune for peak horsepower /torque to feel better about their small peens 😉. Stock turbo is capable of making 350TRQ around 3500rpm. Of course it's going to torque steer your ass to the nearest ditch,especially on bitch tires wacky alignment.
I'm running an aggressive alignment ( because RACEKAR, right? lol). If you want a good daily, I'd say - 2 camber square. 0.03 toe. But if your goal is to eliminate torque steer, work with your tuner on a nice, progressive torque curve. A properly setup suspension (not hammered) and nice tires. An RMM is a must.
Lovely car and not too Hoonigan. I've a Ford Focus ST Station wagon with Mountune 1st stage, so 275bhp and it is very rapid. No badges on it apart from a yellow ST, so I really enjoy BMW drivers tailgating me while I disappear into the horizon and leave them in the dust. You can almost see their reactions as they try to figure out what just happened. Haha. Was never a badge snob and can actually drive. Great cars. Yes, they do have torque steer even when not in sports mode, but you know what? The classic hot hatches of the 80s had zero driver correction. In the modern era it's one of the few cars where you still get a thrill and have to be switched on.
How did you find the steering feedback? I took a short test drive in a Focus ST, and not sure what I was expecting, but I found it more numb than I had hoped. I would have tried a Fiesta ST, but I have short arms and the shifter was too far forward.
+yitznewton The Fiesta's steering is much more talkative than the Focus's, but I think the Focus steering is at least on par with something like a GTI.
+yitznewton When I test drove both I had the same impression of the Fiesta shifter. The distance I had to reach to shift it completely ruined the driving experience for me on the little "autox" course they had set up at their Ecoboost Challenge event. The Focus had a much better positioning for sure.
+darthnuruodo The Focus shifter position seemed "weird" the first time I sat in it, but I didn't find it problematic. With all the positive buzz around the Fiesta ST, I sat in it at least three times, but it always felt so wrong that I never bothered with a test drive. I always pull telescopic steering wheels out all the way, so I must just have shorter arms than most people. Of course, the Fiesta was designed as an economy hatch, so shifter placement was probably by default anyway...
Nice car buddy! Love the ST albeit I've been watching the RS after watching topgear's take some time ago. Should be interesting to see what happens when it comes to the states… Oh, and matt--no notchback one take? blue balls bro, blue bawlllls.
Totally agree about Focus versus Fiesta; whichever one you would prefer without the performance is the one you'll prefer with performance. (The Focus in the case of my wife and I who have two "Foci".
Hmm.. I too am 6'3" and about 270lbs.. I cant say it's the most comfortable of seats, but I have driven the ST3 with the full leather recaros.. that seat can use a few inches in width.. whoo.. juuuuuuust fit. Still surprises me that 'regular' people can still sit behind me, tho snugly, when I have my seat in my 'gangsta lean' recline.. Something about the electronics makes the car feel unstable when 'flinging' corners on really twisty turny roads. more than once I thought I was gonna smash into the jersey barrier and felt unstable when driving hard against "an adversary" on those curvy roads in the woods.. again.. swear I was gonna careen and go off into the trees.. and I'm an otherwise awesome driver...lol.. .. I had to turn off the electronic aides to actually feel safer, more stable and more in control when driving like a nut. What's up with that? The audio unit is lower middle of the road, my old VW with my Monsoon system (2002 passat) blows this one out the water.. but it's good enough. I suppose. No reall cubbies to stash ones weed or pistola.. and what's the deal with no dead pedal? I've never driven a car without a dead pedal until I drove this one! I think that silver is the best color out there for this car.. classy and subdued.
Interesting that Matt ordered the Focus RS. Did not know they were taking orders yet. Isn't that car expected to put down like 350 HP? If so the Focus RS is going to be a BEAST! :D
@thesmokingtire how has the reliability of the ST, and RS been. The focus is on my short list of new vehicles. I'm still leaning towards a speed3 because prices are still high on the focus.
+Frankie G I wanted something that was lighter than stock, but I love how the design of these wheels look. I saw some TSW Bathurst's, but I wasn't too fond of the matte black finish.
Any thoughts on the 2015 st? Everywhere I look this car gets great reviews. I'm not a gear head but I'd like a daily driver that I can have some fun with when I want, and eventually but some simple mods like nothing more than a grand. Who's got some input?
Hey Matt you are awesome. I like that you review stuff that is relatively affordable and you review all types of cars. by the way I am 18 and drive a 2000 nissan maxima the beat up everyday. i dont see many maximas built and raced as much as other cars for obvious reasons but that would be cool to see. stay awesome Thesmokingtire
+TheSmokingTire It's a focus, so it counts! haha. Which car did you enjoy more, in terms of pure performance. Not taking into account interior amenities, etc.

hello again lol
+Talon276 what the fuck?
+Jamie Dawson Ahahah omg. STOP STALKING ME!!!!!!!
+Talon276 Second that!
fucking pussies, protect everyone like there infants!
I watched this specifically to see how Matt fits in this car, as I am big and fat as well. Thank you Matt
Much respect to large guys that are able to comfortably fit into these cars
I don't know why you're all complaining about the guy blinking a lot. Why are you watching him? Look at Matt instead or the road. If it's bothering you, don't bitch about it in the comments. Open another tab and just listen if you're going to be so dramatic about something so small.

+JoshorBrownKid I couldn't fucking agree more.
+14CCarl cool car man!
its quite sad people get judged these days based on their disabilities... One takes are about the car, nothing else... Nice one take, nice car.... I like his style and the way he done his mods.
well said
+DSM jUhnky Thank you, I don't have a disability. It's just I tend to get nervous pretty easily and lets just say that being up all night being wired on Redbulls and 5 Hour Energy just to make the 4 hour drive wasn't enjoyable at all.

+DSM jUhnky I'd pin it down to stress and probably an enormous amount of caffeine.
I like how Carl actually wants to talk about his car and give answers to the questions unlike some people who act like they're being owed something from Matt. Also, I get the blinking thingy too and my dad always calls me out for it. Its just nerves and lack of rest chill out
+Kevin O'Byrne Thank you! :)
14CCarl Yeah its annoying how people pick up on it so quickly
I may be a cybernetic human that blinks rapidly to process information that I see. Jkjk. I don't really care what people say about me, I am who I am and knowing yourself really helps dealing with people that like to call out imperfections and such.

Hahaha. Well said and great car btw. That thing is sweet
Gracias! :3
The ST is such a cool daily..
My 17 Focus ST is my daily. I'm a happy man lol
I daily a 18 ST3
i daily a 2014 ST stage 3 and i just always want more power :/ i just want an RS but it cost 2x as much as my car. if i sell my car i could buy an RS but then i cant buy a house lol house > car im sick of renting and throwing my money away. i just want moeee powaaaaa
This guy brightened my day :) Awesome smile and enthusiasm. Awesome overall build.

Man I am just loving the hell out of these One Takes, keep them coming Matt!!! Very cool car as well Carl!
Great video once again and what a nice guy. To those making fun of his blinking, please stop being lame, take your judgmental, excessively strong, unsolicited minority complex home with you and keep it out of the car enthusiast community.
That's my buddy Carl! Wooh! Video is legit! 👌
+Benjamin Dominguez Ayeee Ben!
Seems like a nice and sporty car. I like the Vader "free throat hugs" t-shirt, I smiled every time I looked at it.
Matt, we spoke before and i second your comment on being a benchmark for big people. I sold my dsm and bought a mazdaspeed 3 because I saw how comfortable you looked in it!

Man I love these one takes man they seriously have become a part of my daily youtube time. Matt your the fucking man bro.
Possibly one of the best shirts I have seen in a while!
Nice car!
Matt, you ordered an RS? Can't wait to see that
+Tyler Dowd He has been talking about not buying it though as he might not want a manual in a daily driver.
+Tyler Dowd Barrel ordered an RS? Where did you he mention that?
supercooled
On the podcast multiple times on many different episodes. He has #1 allocation of the Focus RS from the Gallpin Ford dealer. He is planning to lease the RS and when the lease is up he will hopefully beable to get into a gt350
Wow, ok cool. I'm sure Ken Block is probably going to get one of the first ones off the assembly line though.
supercooled He probably already has one... And likely he doesn't have to pay for his. Matt hasn't even been invited to a press launch for the RS.
Dude I cant wait to see people doing some crazy RS builds with that AWD
Bloody hell Matt, I've been jumping on RUclips every damned day trying to see if you uploaded another video!
I need them ;-;
+BanDiGo you don't need to look every day, they are every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!
I am a hopeful fool T--T
+TheSmokingTire I feel dumb. Never even recognized there was a pattern to it. lol.
+BanDiGo Sounds like you need a car of your own to enjoy...and a go pro
Underpantsniper Just let me get past my current financial downfall, >:B
thumbs up , Matt Farrah , for your honesty !
I wish there were roads like this where i live...
I dont know how comfortable I'd be as a passenger with someone driving my ST the way I do lol. but It is the most fun car I've ever driven, STOCK. Responsive, and tons of torque available in literally any situation.
noone gives a fuck about how you drive
Oh ok cool
35usaf wins.
So far the st is my favorite daily I’ve ever owned.
Me too. Haven't had a car this fun since my evo 9
2019. Just bought a used 2014 st3. Absolutely love it.even used
I would love to see a short video on your review of the st3. I'm subbing just in case u post it
Love this dudes shirt.Edit: Wait you ordered an RS?! I WANT!
Thank you for these videos, it's nice seeing what other enthusiasts are driving and how they like their car, and more importantly, how they hold up.
Also, I like your reviews because you are a bigger guy, it lets me know what I can drive lol.
Dope whip Carl! Hopefully I'll have one soon !
They grey and black looks so nice
Much better visuals with the overcast and easier on the eyes I love the way he excuses his size If I can fit in it anyone can !
Impressive Carl!! Dig the T-shirt too!!
The Focus ST is not an American car. The standard Focus was designed by Ford of Europe, and the ST mostly by Team RS, also in Europe. But sure, the US-spec cars are built over there.
+Nakke144
I believe they are built in Mexico actually, at least my fiesta st was.
the Focus' are assembled in Warren, Michigan.
+4sake123 The Focus currently is made in Michigan, but Ford is probably going to move it somewhere else, just have not said which location yet.
+Simon Liu The latest gen of Focus were not designed by Mazda, Ford does not work with them anymore as they are no longer owned by Ford. The latest Focus is mostly a European design.
European fiestas are built in Germany and designed all around Europe
Awesome video as usual and Awesome car Carl!
Sweet ride brother! Funny shirt. Thanks for sharing.
So Matt, 2015 WRX or Focus ST?
+randomocityvideos I'd have the Focus
st
+TheSmokingTire Golf R or Focus St?
+S Miller more like just get an RS when they come out next year
+S Miller I have a Focus RS on order.
Excellent video quality! This is what we need in reviews. Good work.
Thanks Matt from all the big guys out there
I love the way this car sounds. Nice ride.
Matt, you are the guy! Hope to see the RS soon in the canyons.
These Focus cars of the last few years are looking real decent.

CaliST in the house.
Go Carl
Ever consider doing one takes in different spots around the country, Matt? Lots of fans would love it.
Carl repping NorCal ST!
Have you considered letting the car's owner drive for a small part of the One-Take? It'd be interesting to see how the owner pushes the car, at least for a bit. I'm not sure I've fully thought out that idea though.
The Sandlot quote, thank you Matt
Amazing car, great dude. Really enjoyed this video. Keep it up!
Can't wait to see the RS when you receive it!
My boy Carl! Sweet ride man!
Love it, I'd probably rock this in white or black myself. Thanks for the "Fatman" review, it's always appreciated Matt !
I saw you comment that you have a Focus RS on order, when you get it please to a review on it! That car is freaking awesome
a nice dude he was!
You're killlin me Smalls!! Love it
I'm sick of hearing about the torque steer on the Mazdaspeed, and I'd like to change your opinion about that for good. Matt, if you're ever in dirty Jersey, I invite you to drive my Mazdaspeed3 and show you what some proper mods/tires and tune can do to this car.
+GE3KSPD MOTORSPORTS I've driven at least 5 different MS3's. All of them torque steer like a bitch.
All of them tune for peak horsepower /torque to feel better about their small peens 😉. Stock turbo is capable of making 350TRQ around 3500rpm. Of course it's going to torque steer your ass to the nearest ditch,especially on bitch tires wacky alignment.
I concur... Geek has a nice speed.
+GE3KSPD MOTORSPORTS any advice on alignment?
I'm running an aggressive alignment ( because RACEKAR, right? lol). If you want a good daily, I'd say - 2 camber square. 0.03 toe. But if your goal is to eliminate torque steer, work with your tuner on a nice, progressive torque curve. A properly setup suspension (not hammered) and nice tires. An RMM is a must.
Focus RS on order, now thats going to be an interesting review.
Beautiful picture quality Matt
Oh yeah I remember that Focus Rally! The stalling recall must be that point repo creeping up again :p
Where can l find a Mountune shop here on the East Coast?
Very Nice car Brother picking one up tomorrow Magnetic gray ST3 going to run it till they work all the bugs out of the RS.
+14CCarl dude your car is epic! Modding done very well
Can't wait to get mine

Thank you for being a big dude benchmark
those numbers are wheel horsepower and tq. my tune only st is 260 whp.
Great video, I love my stage 3 Focus ST.
You actually did a turbo focus that was a different gen 7 months ago
Great video and decent review. Nice car you've got there. Keeping it drivable and fun.

Cool car! Can't wait to see what the RS can do. I've got that same shirt. Nobody seems to want throat hugs.
So the question is would you rather DD a focus ST or the mustang?
Nice car buddy! Love the ST albeit I've been watching the RS after watching topgear's take some time ago. Should be interesting to see what happens when it comes to the states… Oh, and matt--no notchback one take? blue balls bro, blue bawlllls.
tastefully modded. I'm really liking these new fords.
I like the colour of this ST
Matt likes his shifters like he likes his women. Nice, tight and mechanical.
Totally agree about Focus versus Fiesta; whichever one you would prefer without the performance is the one you'll prefer with performance. (The Focus in the case of my wife and I who have two "Foci".

i wanted a fiesta st but the focus st looks just as sexy with more space. may need to schedule a test drive
+Anthony Focus is the way to go if you want the space. Love mine.
loving the one takes but i would love to see some more reviews with more than two camera angles. And fox body footage of course.
Awesome video. Awesome car, Carl!
Nice car, looking forward to getting one soon.
New microphone? Sound quality is great
This is a nice car, well done mate.
Matt i get the feeling you would love to drive a modified MK2 Focus ST. Pity you guys don't get them over there, love my 330bhp daily one :)
No difficulty with the heel toe in this Focus Matt? I find the gas pedal to be too low.
Interesting that Matt ordered the Focus RS. Did not know they were taking orders yet. Isn't that car expected to put down like 350 HP? If so the Focus RS is going to be a BEAST! :D
@thesmokingtire how has the reliability of the ST, and RS been. The focus is on my short list of new vehicles. I'm still leaning towards a speed3 because prices are still high on the focus.
I really like this car! Good job!
Windex is my favorite interior cleaner. No shine and gets rid of dust and it evaporates so there are no wipe marks

Is that a non-rubbing EVO in the background?

Matt, the One Takes are cool and all but we wanna see the Mustang!
+Auto Young right??? not a single video.
any e60 m5 coming up on the channel or no.
PLEASE try to do an E30 one take! Curviest road you can find perhaps? ;)
Hey Matt, what happened to the podcast?
Any thoughts on the 2015 st? Everywhere I look this car gets great reviews. I'm not a gear head but I'd like a daily driver that I can have some fun with when I want, and eventually but some simple mods like nothing more than a grand. Who's got some input?

Hey Matt you are awesome. I like that you review stuff that is relatively affordable and you review all types of cars. by the way I am 18 and drive a 2000 nissan maxima the beat up everyday. i dont see many maximas built and raced as much as other cars for obvious reasons but that would be cool to see. stay awesome Thesmokingtire
No Focus of any kind? What about that Yellow ZX3 from a while back?! But i have missed these one takes, glad they're back :)
+ThatAlexKid I was referring to this generation of Focus. A 15 year old car doesn't count.
+TheSmokingTire It does count as it's one of the kind ;)
+TheSmokingTire It's a focus, so it counts! haha. Which car did you enjoy more, in terms of pure performance. Not taking into account interior amenities, etc.
