Have not seen this presenter before but did a really good job. Think I'm spoiled because Henry set the bar so darn high...but good job.
Henry is just perfect at his job
Check out the Track Mode playlist. He’s a good co-host along with Abbie Eaton.
@@rgeorgek42 I love that they not only review the cars but the tracks too.
I don't know his name but he's a racing driver whos done a few videos with Abby from Grand Tour. Have a little search and you'll find them. He know his shit. I'm Australian, so I'm a little out of my territory.
A video with a presenter who drives the wheels off that car, who is funny and entertaining without the usual histeria of so many others.
Loved the edition and the graphics of the video as well.
Well done Carfection. We need more Jorge!
Indeed @Hugo Reis. Maybe Jorge could do a small workshop, on how a car review should be filmed to some of our local hosts…
in 55 years of sporting driving, I have owned Porsches, Corvettes, Mustangs and now, a 2014 US spec Focus ST. It has been one of the best cars of the bunch, if not the best. It's a shame that here in the US we can't get the new ST. It seems to be a wonderful platform for modification as this video shows. Thanks for a great effort and presentation.
Big fan of Mountune -- they did my MK3 Focus RS nicely with a tune, intake, intercooler, charge pipe, and short shift. Great parts, great folks.
Likewise. I had the full M400 package on mine. Was very quick. Too quick actually to properly enjoy lol
@@mugenmark Same for me! I run the stock tune around town and throw the Mountune map on whenever I hit the canyons. :)
great video man, keep it up. No flair or exaggerations, just god ole car journalism.love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just realized Jorge is Portuguese, I never noticed a hint of an accent in any of the previous videos before this one.
Great review Jorge! Looking forward for more content
Aaaaaahhhh finally a Mountune on your channel! Love their products! Thank you for a great video! I hope you'll do a Fiesta Mountune next.
All you guys get all the good cars in Europe, I was going to get the 2019 Fiesta ST as I have a 2014 ST and love it, but as you know Ford pulled the plug on all its cars with the exception of the Mustang. My ST is on a Cobb stage two tune, short shift kit, 3” MBRP exhaust, Cobb Motor mount, I love this car, it has 96,000+ miles on it and I’m on my 6th set of tires, I love driveling on three wheels and I’m 73 years young. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼🍺🍺🍺
Yep, more Jorge please. Good style and he can clearly drive, too.
Wish we could get these in North America still.
Great work. Now you made me want one !
I love mine its so much fun to drive even just in normal mode around town and it looks amazing and the torque is crazy pulls very hard in all the gears
Great job Jorge!
Parabéns Jorge.
Dá gosto ver-te conduzir e apresentar ao mais alto nível.
Continua o excelente trabalho!
top notch content. Amazing as always
Loved the content buddy! Thanks for the upload. Peace! God bless 🙏🏼
Love mountune cars oh and Good presenting very chilled
I could have a lot of money and a lot of faster/nicer cars but still keep spot for a hot hatch to hoon around town in. Great blend of value, performance and practicality. Kinda miss my old focus ST, felt like a go cart.
True sir
Yes! Mind asking you why you got rid of your ST?
@@Northwindbreeze Shelby GT350.
@@LitleBear insane!! Shelby is on my list but, one gotta agree that the EU is turning any great opportunities into e-cars opportunities... Soon owning a muscle car will be a very different story I'm afraid.
Good on you, enjoy it!
Which mk st did you own?
0:53 wow cool shot!
While I don't see myself changing my 2018 Focus ST for an MK4, it is still one of the best options for someone looking for something brand new.
Great video. Really enjoyed it!
Glad to hear it!
Great review mine goes in on the 24th jan for m365 from m330 looking forward to it !!
Excellent video well done Jorge, love my mk4 m330 STE going m365 in the summer. I was a bit hesitant to let my mk3.5 go but the mk4 is on another level in all departments . Anyone considering it I guarantee you won’t regret it!
Is the m365 upgrade package available for an ST 3.5? Or is it just for the mk4?
@@grahamalexander5800 Just the mk4. There are alternative upgrades for the mk3.5.
Great review. I’m jealous; no chance I can get one in the US. I love my 2013 Mk3 ST. My local Lincoln garage installed the Mountune MP-275 package and cat-back exhaust. The next year, the Quaife LSD and Ford Performance track springs. With a 91 (US) octane tune, I can drive most anywhere and find gas. It’s pulling 263/326, at the wheel, out of the L-block 2 liter. The school bus yellow paint is a bit much, but people do see you and that’s a good thing in traffic. I’m 73, been driving almost 60 years, best car I’ve ever owned.
Not driven high-end versions, but always had the most fun in Ford hire cars :P
We need more Jorge 🔥
Great review, I had a st170 loved it then bought a leon fr had it few years now back in focus st mk3
Excellent presenter, good job guys. One million subs soon :)
My daily driver is a 16 focus st. Great car and only complaint is I wish it had a little more thigh support in the seat. Car handles great, brakes really good just in stock form, gets good mpg considering it has 260hp. Has a decent amount of room inside of it for things. Not bad in the winter with snow tires on it. Overall a great car
The reason an ST might not feel as special now is because basically every 1 liter ecoboost looks exactly the same with an ST-line package...
I've just got the STline with the 1.5 diesel ST looks with low running cost still goes alright I wouldn't say it was slow but I wouldn't say it was fast either
Sure wish they would bring the Focus ST back to the states. Great video!
I have a Mk 3.5 ST with all the Mountune fixens and a Garrett turbo pushing 350 wheel horsepower. That's the perfect range for a hatch this size.
I did own an ST170. It was a Performance Blue estate. Bought it in 2016 in Switzerland. Drove around for a year like the happiest little camper. What a machine. Not any less fun to drive than my 1994 MX-5. Unfortunately, found out it had developed a big brown hole in one of the chassis beams. I'd like to get a new ST wagon at some point, but man if an old one in decent condition ever pops up again...
I'd rather spend the 30k in this because it's so much more unique than the generic RS, GTI, CUPRA, AMG. Hot hatches are becoming so well behaved and clinical, torque steer is actually a major selling point to me. Good review!
You want torque steer? Jeez mate.
I agree. Little imperfections give character.
Agreed... Its fun to wrestle with it now and then.
I'd have a manual hot hatch over any hot hatch with a automatic. The AMG A35/A45, Audi S3, BMW M135i are all autos, so no thanks. Would rather have the manual Ford ST edition in azure blue than aftermarket mountune updates to a stock ST. Though if money were no object, Type-R would be the hot hatch of choice personally.
@Man in Dandism isn't that pretty much the definition of a hot hatch?
I have the st mk 3 mountune, brilliant car
Not really a fan of the car but as always, really enjoyed the Carfection vid. Can’t recall seeing Jorge before but liked his presentation style and personality so hope we see more from him. Keep up the good work Carfection folks! 👍
I haven't seen any negative comments about this presenter, unlike the other one which normally has about 80%. It's only positive. Ppl like this guy much more.
Great camera angles fellas, will strive to get similar angles on my features 👊
Great presenter - enjoyed this film 👍
Great video. I love fast fords built for working class👊🏾👊🏾
Very good video. Nice motor!
Great video.
Love the ST.
Ganda Jorge 👍
I thinka few of us VW and Audi drivers would have more fun if we coukd get over our brand snobbery and try a ford.. Henry’s Montserrat RS video was epic. Nice film Jorge.
I knew I've seen you face before.... the rap proposal!.
The shift up light😂😂
When you showed that RS that car is perfection.
It packs a punch!
The 'sports GPF' is an interesting idea
I love the example of the Police and switching to “normal Mode” Here in the States the Base on from the Music is louder then most Exhaust and can be that loud on any car. So loud you can be 3 cars behind and your rear view mirror is shaking as are your hands and entire car but no laws preventing this. They would Never hear emergency services coming.
Modification is such an essential part of hot hatch culture, it's great to watch a video that touches on the subject and I'm surprised more channels don't pick up on this. The OEM who builds a hot hatch clearly agrees hot rodding an econobox is a good idea, but they have emissions regs and budgets to worry about. Why should the end user stop there and take the car as given? Although hot hatches aren't as popular in North America, they're very popular for modification as we often get more mild versions of them and the highest performance versions are exclusive to Europe. There is just something delightful about a relatively unassuming Golf (or similar), making 400+ BHP, rolling on Sport Cup 2s and terrorizing cars that cost 5x as much on a good back road.
I’m still upset that America didn’t get this American hot hatch. They sell well here too.
Dude just casually drifting a front wheel drive hot hatch, holy shit that’s freaking lit bro🔥🔥🔥 edit: fire emoji
Focus has been known for that since at least the last generation. And yeah, it is fun!
@@VAspeed3 sheesh that's dope tech!
Pretty cool.
Loved my 2013 Focus ST. But if I'm talking new Focus ST money (not that we get the MK4 in US), I'd be all over a used Focus RS instead. Starting off with 350hp is nice, but you can't add that AWD system with just bolt-ons, so in the cost benefit, I'd be on a used RS in a heart-beat.
The difference from my 2013 ST to my 2016 RS was shocking. Just so much more capable at everything.
George should do more stuff for carfection, I like his presenting style.
Just a correction from Portugal, it's Jorge, not George. 😁😁
thenks alot for this great video , is it 4 by 4
I love my st mk4 even that is standard because warranty. Even with the stock parámeters is an amazing car to drive it.. I love the esthetic too. If you see the details and forgot that the stline exists, is a beautiful car 🤣🤣
I wish we got these in the states! I would have gotten this over the gti I bought
Nothing wrong with a hatch if you're an average wage earner. I'm appreciative that Carfection, my favourite car channel, keeps it semi real with reviews like this from time to time. I mean, who the f@ck wants to know what it's like to drive, or sit in the back of a Cullinan, or a Bentayga. Utterly pointless vehicles that only old money-endowed muppets would aspire to own. Just my opinion. Lay down the hate if you're so inclined. This is the internet.
Just dreaming. I'd love a MK1 st170. This engine and gearbox conversion with the WRC Kit from pumaspeed with the latest 18in transit sport allows. 🤤
Dreams.
I’m waiting for Mountune to support Autos in the new MK4s as the late 2020 builds and the 2021/ 2022 ST3 focus is also Auto in Australia. Only other option Is custom tunes ???
We'll have you covered on that very soon!
I miss my 2017 Focus ST. Wish I still could’ve kept it as a daily. My current car a 986 Boxster S is a far better sports car in every way other than outright acceleration, but I still miss the overall package that ST had to offer. It was like a GTI only every single sporty characteristic of it was just dialed in that much more than a GTI.
Ford say they won’t produce another focus RS, but it’s been reported of sighting’s of a production car around the Nurburgring on test. So hopefully in the near future we see a MK4 RS
Great car ist the new ST..The way it drives it is very underated car. I went from focus rs mk3 stage 2 to the old Passat R36. I am already missing the sharpnes in the corners😂 Once I will Come back to the fast ford division🤘
Love me some fast fords
When will we see the Sierra?!?!?
Great work, keep it up!
I knoooow...As soon as lockdown lifted and life went back to full pace the Sierra had to go back into storage sadly but... fingers crossed sometime soon!!
Thank you for the support!
@@jorgecaladoracing Really looking forward to more racing content! Also old racing car reviews are always welcome! Carfection needs and old Mini to enter the Goodwood races. You and Henry as the drivers, racing and commenting with onboard footage!
@@CustomJawas Now THAT is an idea I think we can all get behind!
I wish we had this in the US. Ever since ford killed cars here things SUCK. They even discontinued major parts on there cars.
Ford US even lowered the power on the mustang gt.... Smh
Who's the new presenter? I like him!
Jorge Calado. He's been presenting with us for a while. You should check his other films out like this one: ruclips.net/video/-ec3w1HSs90/видео.html
@@Carfection thanks! Have been missing out on RUclips for a while. I'll have a look!
I do enjoy a fast Ford, owned a focus rs mk1 tuned to 300bhp, a mk2 focus st around 275bhp, wasn't really interested in the mk3 the 2.0 did nothing for me. But this mk4 is a great piece of kit especially with this upgrade 👌
The mk3 st is 2.0. The rs has the same engine as a mk4 focus st. 2.3 ecoboost with 350hp
I hope this guy is a replacement for whoever that other guy is because I like his delivery, chill and professional sounding, just BETTER!
Good increase in power , problem is I personally don’t like the look of the new focus so I will never buy one , I have driven one and they drive very well .
is there any tuning available for entry base Ford focus MK4
Torque steer makes it more fun trying to man handle it
Its a shame that ford did not bring this over to NA
Had an MK3, took it to tracks quite often and it absolutely heat soaked to the core on tracks, even with uprated radiator. Do yourselves a favor, get a car with 6-speed MT RWD for track works.
Does Mountune happen to offer a tune that morphs my 1.0 EcoBoost Focus ST-Line into this beauty? God, I want one so bad!
Cheers.
Wish they were still available in the US🥺
Great car and presentation. RUclips's algorithm is a hoax.
Does anyone know what effect the tune and upgrades has on the MPG?
Pep on a trackday :D
1:40 yesssss ST170
I think the problem with the focus ST is something it has deviated away from.. its price.. and whilst its borg Warner ediff is a step in the right direction to eliminate torque steer something the old ST didn't have and thus only torque vectoring, its not as sophisticated as the dual axis setup or hyperstrut setup found on the civic Type R or Megan RS
I had a 2016 Focus ST and would have on of these...if it were still sold in the US. Sadly Ford only sells SUVs now so I ordered a new Civic Si. Oh well.
If they were to add the front spoiler/grill from the mk 3.5 it would be such a wicked car. Mk4 grill is upside down and looks way too friendly.
Yo! The video is not in 4k
What were they thinking by not bringing these and the MK8 Fiesta ST to the states?!
What a shame that this focus st isn't coming to the US
I have had this mod on my car and it doesn’t give you 360 bhp, it is a lie I brought the exhaust intercooler induction kit and I put it on the dyno and it just got over 300bhp but the torque was 580
what intercooler u are talking about? There is no intercooler from Moutune for mk4 ST. Also, did you use the re-map or just hardware mods?
@@alexandruzugravu1768 I got an airtec intercooler. I brought the Costa turbo back exhaust fitting that then put the m360 file into the car and put it on the dyno and just got over 300bhp all it had don’t was put the torque up we ran it 3 times and still didn’t get it any higher. I’ve had a few mates with the same issues unless someone can prove me wrong.
@@n-e-r-d_fngamingfarrow992 The calibration is designed to use the hardware we specify. If you don't use that hardware, it's not optimising what it's expecting to see and you may well see a different result.
Also, the make of the dyno and method of testing will make a difference - if you're seeing the torque but not the bhp, that's often a sign that the car is getting hot higher up the rev-range and pulling things back after it's made peak torque at lower revs (as we retain the OE safety parameters).
You can switch it back and forth using the SMARTflash OBD and the app you installed it with, if you can feel a substantial difference, that's physics, regardless of what a dyno might say.
@@mountuneofficial I will be happy to put yours back on to my car and I’ll take the car two 3 different dynos and see what I get.
@@mountuneofficial if you are sure that your mod is 360bhp then I’m happy to race my car against your mountune car.
I bought the estate version hr springs mst intake Remus exhaust jr11 wheels incoming today ordered the m330 flash I’m curious to se how it’s gonna drive think I’m gonna leave it there as known they have trouble with high boost I’d like the sports gpf but I don’t think it’s gonna pas mot where I live as stock it has torque steer just like the escort rs turbo I owned 187 bhp but with the m330 better hold the wheel with 2 hands 😂
Nice mods but as far as I know not warranty friendly so a big risk with a new car and a very important consideration
This is an awesome car :D. It was a shame they axed plans for a new Focus RS , as it would of been a bonkers (and possibly less expensive) than the latest A45 or RS3). But wasn't it because of the costs of building it/adding a hybrid system to it? But anyway, this Mountune ST definitely fills the gap left by the RS :). I just hope Ford brings back the RS badge for future performance models (Fiesta RS, perhaps? 😃)
Stricter CO2 emissions so Ford did investigate fitting a hybrid but with the added weight it would have to produce well over 400bhp to even come close to delivering the same performance as the outgoing RS plus you’d end up with a 2 tonne so called performance car that would cost well over £40k. In short there just wasn’t the business case for it. Just a shame they didn’t do a Toyota with the GR Yaris and give everyone an AWD Fiesta RS that we all want.
I'm holding out for the rs or mkz
Shame this isn’t in the USA
I have an ordinary version of Focus ST-Line in China. I like it very much. Your S-T model is better.
Such a shame there won't be any more RSs. :(
If any MK4 actually dyno's at 360hp I'll eat my shoes
That isn't an unheard of number for an engine like that. The 4G63's in Evos can get those kinds of numbers easily, and this engine is 20 years newer has is a 2.3L rather than a 2.0L. I mean the current A45 AMG makes just over 400 horsepower from a 2.0L.
Pretty reasonable for a tune.
@@juliantaffa4089 It is however Mountune look overinflating their numbers. E.g. for the MK8 Fiesta ST upgrade is called the M260 but we haven't seen one Dyno over 250 yet. Same for the MK4, nobody has dyno'd at 360 yet, nor do I expect them to.
@@StevenQuarrell put my mk 2 focus st mr310 on the dyno 327bhp it made ..... make of that what you will
@@nitrooxide2521 my mk8 ST made 262 one dyno 246 another suppose all its much of a muchness when it comes down to it
OK I'll meet you halfway maybe it's got around 60 nm more which is close to what you say 😉 but they never dyno at what the box says
