      Agreed with the joking sentiment. Seriously, that was some pretty devious click-bait, Doug. Just for that, I'm not going to go read the article. Next time, just give us what the title says, and tell us to read the article for more detailed info if that will help your metrics at your new job.

      Good job Doug, keep making these millennials read stuff. They need to learn what literature with proper spelling and grammar looks like. One of them might gain a useful skill someday instead of being completely useless with their phone stuck to their face at all times.

      @George xander Sure! Well I’ve owned one for about 5 years now and I love it. It’s not the greatest daily since it’s very stiff and the mileage isn’t the best, but I do drive it 3-4 times per week and any drive under and hour is totally tolerable. I also modified mine with a tune and some parts and it really woke up. 60k miles in and I plan on keeping it for a long time. It helps if this is your other car, but it’s a joy to own.

    • @bradleyisfishing
      @bradleyisfishing Год назад +1

      @georgexander7170it’s a hatchback but with the most occasion of any hot hatch. It pops and bangs in a way that’s fitting for the car, tasteful enough, and will leave a smile on your face after the millionth pop. Handling is unbelievably precise with great steering. The engine has throttle response in sport mode that I didn’t think you could do in a car made this century. Letting off the throttle feels like hitting the brakes sharply. It rotates on throttle thanks to a BRILLIANT AWD system. Great seats, great transmission, great sound, great stopping ability, great looks, makes for a car you never want to sell. Had to modify my musang ecoboost decently to enjoy it, this car is lovely totally stock.

      @bradleyisfishing the rs has better awd system than the subaru even though the subaru is a true awd 50/50 but it just understeers. The golf r is not even a true awd. The rs and evox are one of the best awd systems in a sport compact.

    • @bradleyisfishing
      @bradleyisfishing 10 месяцев назад

      @@commentmancommentman1658 it’s really impressive to drive a car with proper torque vectoring. Helps a LOT with understeer. Turn in can understeer if you go too fast, but turn in at the right speed and hold throttle the whole way through and it turns right in. Also throttle will cure the understeer.

    • @commentmancommentman1658
      @commentmancommentman1658 10 месяцев назад

      @bradleyisfishing yes but in my opinion, AWD on sport compact cars are overrated now in my opinion, Modern fwd sports cars like the elantra N and type R are better and leagues above their AWD competitors (they have better track times than awd cars on their class)

    The focus does have one of the most reliable engines anywhere. I still want Doug to do a review of the Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI, but he’ll probably have to come to Europe to see one. One of best hot hatches of the 80’s and 90’s and I had one when I was at Uni in the mid 90’s.

  • @dlaz90
    @dlaz90 5 лет назад +1

    so for less than a 100 hp, and a sporty look - youre getting the ST (260hp) (26k-30k) for 10-15k more.
    I found the interior very dull besides the blue stitching which I DID LOVE.
    the suspension and drive is very tight (good for the corner hugging) terrible if youre not on smooth flat roads (fuck the north east)
    overall it was very peppy and had great take off and acc - but I was more than satisfied with ST for 10-15k cheaper while still maintaining a sporty look, with a more than enough punch - turbo.

      It has a open deck block design that tend to be weaker than closed decks.But to be honest other than a few issues from the early models that I've heard several different causes from reliable sources.It really isnt a problem unless you go modifying it and use a shit tune.If you do mod it and up the boost it is not forgiving like some designs to tuner error.So in other words dont cheap out and Jimbob tune it and it'll be fine.

      You are clueless…… Any clean title, one-owner, low mileage & un-modded RS will be $40-50k. These are enthusiasts vehicles & seller’s understand that, so prices will always be high. Their moto “the right buyer will come along”..If you don’t want to pay it, then someone else will, so no need to lower a price on a performance hatchback only made in the US for 3yrs that we will never see manufactured again. The only $30k RS’s will be very high mileage, salvage cars or lemon buybacks with multiple owners.

      You're basing your approval of this car off of one short drive? You're a writer/car reviewer, so you should do actual research. The AWD system is sent to the back via an extremely small rear driveshaft and far too small differential, and when it gets hot, it cuts off the AWD. It then becomes only front wheel drive. Their are many other claims that Ford has made that are not true. The car is not worth it. Scroll down to the second post (8/10)... www.vorshlag.com/forums/showthread.php?p=58372

    I got suprised by one a few years ago when I was riding my 750. I was in the second to left turn lane about to go under an overpass. I thought I'd pass this Focus beside me when the light turned green so I could get on the highway. He took off unexpectedly and beat me through the corner, it wasn't until I hit 90mph on the on-ramp and was really trying that I gave up catching him. The RS is quick.

I get a good laugh when schmucks look down at me because they're driving a $1,000 a month payment lol. By driving a older car instead of the latest/greatest it leaves me money for things like my Maule M-4 (plane) and a share of a R22 helicopter that I use to build time in.
