I'm somebody who is a car fan and stays up on news in the auto industry, but I don't have a lot of technical knowledge of cars (i.e. if you told me what was wrong with your car I would understand but if you wanted me to go under the hood and tell you the problem or fix it I would be useless). I feel as though this presenter is similar in that respect; however, he was able to review a car and make it interesting and cause you to connect emotionally with the car. I think people that don't have all the technical knowledge in the world but can still give valuable feedback on a car are some of the most interesting journalists, so well done AutoTrader.

+Andrew C I owned a BMW 135i that had a constant rattle, traced it to the amp fitted inside of the rear fender due to the Harman Kardon soundsystem (most expensive sound option). Sold the car. Bought something cheap where I don't give a shit about rattles, I turn the sound up and enjoy my House music. And I ride a 650 Ninja for fun where nothing rattles other than your senses. If you take cars too seriously you are doomed.
@grimcity 8 жыл бұрын
+Andrew C - I can't relate to anything rattling. Maybe it's because I've got the ST3 as opposed to the base. While it's not quite a GTI, the interior seems like a few dozen steps above a WRX or an Evo (only similar rides I can compare to first hand).

It looks like Ford have recaptured the spirit of the old Mitsubishi Evo 5/6 with this car....Basically a 4wd rally car for the road capable of huge extreme angle drifts! Looks like massive fun! :-D Golf R and Civic Type R simply can't do that crazy drifting stuff and also cost more. BMW 135i can but I suspect that will be much less controllable in wet weather than the 4wd RS. Seems like a great all round car, and good value too. Good job Ford.
@theCoachCGY 8 жыл бұрын
+soundseeker63 In Canada, the Golf R starts at $39k and the RS starts at $45k. No word on the Civic but it is most likely in that mid 40s as well. Sure you get an extra 45hp for 5k, but in the long run.. it's still a Ford. In 5 years it will have the lowest resale of the bunch and who knows about reliability. It looks like a lot of fun, but investing close to 50k in a Ford hatch is ehhhh....
@soundseeker63 8 жыл бұрын
theCoachCGY Actually Fords with an RS badge have a cult following (in the UK at least) and tend to hold on to their value very well. If Ford ensures production doesn't surpass demand I'd bet on it holding its value better than a Golf R or 135i, both of which are now way too common and heavily discounted new. Civic could be an interesting one. Honda are usually reliable and do well for residual value but the Type R is a divisive looker.
@theCoachCGY 8 жыл бұрын
soundseeker63 I can see how Ford in the UK would have quite a bit more of a following. You guys were blessed with various RS and Cosworth's over the years. In North America, we generally view Ford as typical American garbage. Mind you, Ford has come a long way in recent years and the commitment to have their performance division engineered in Germany is nice. The issue that Ford will have here is the same issue that Toyota and Honda had with MR2's, Celica GTS's and various Type R models; yeah, they are amazing cars, but North America doesn't buy enough performance cars to warrant the investment for 15,000 sold units per year. We don't have the roadways for it. We need huge cruisers. Maybe on the basis that we know that this is probably short lived, the RS will retain its value fairly well. I still feel like Honda and VW will hold it better over here and there will be a lot of people that will jump into an Audi S3 or the wait for the new 395hp CLA AMG because 50k for a Ford hatch is reaaally tough to swallow.
@theCoachCGY 8 жыл бұрын
Miatacrosser VW is the biggest auto manufacturer in the world. They won't be going anywhere. The Golf R which is priced at $39k to start in Canada is an absolute steal against a starting $46k RS. I would be weary about owning either of them outside of warranty. Obviously one is German and the other is using a whole host of advanced AWD technologies, which could make a grown man cry when the car hits 100k miles. Obviously, it all comes down to personal feel and style. Personally, I will wait for the Type R to come out and make an informed decision from there. My 1.8L 200hp DOHC VTEC engine ate 5.0L mustangs alive back in my racer boy days and being a huge fan of F1 and never seeing an American constructor compete, I've always been a fan of imports over domestics, which until recently, have lived with a reputation of being cheap, disposable and delivering linear american power without the slightest bit of handling. Of course that has changed over the last few years and as I've said, I am impressed with Ford's newer vehicles. The EcoBoost is surprisingly powerful, yet it's still too new for reliability ratings. People up here buy F-150s like ziplock bags, yet the majority are purchasing the V8s instead of the EcoBoost 6's. I love what new Ford is doing, but are you honestly going to buy a $50,000 Focus?
@soundseeker63 8 жыл бұрын
theCoachCGY You do realise that both the Golf R and Focus RS are 4wd and both are Built in Germany....? I'll admit Honda reliability is widely known to be great but I disagree about the Focus beimg a risk. This generation of Focus has been around since 2011 and the engine is basically the same ecoboost unit you can get in the Mustang and various other Fords for a while now, and the 4wd system is an improved version of that in the Kuga, so although the RS is technically new, it is based on proven mechanicals and I've not heard any horror stories about the regular Focus of this generation or the other 2.3 Ecoboost powered models so, yes I honestly would trust it to be a reliable car. There are still loads of early '98 and 99 reg Mk1 Focus's in the UK with big milages that is testament to how much Ford quality has come on in the last 20 years. To put that in perspective the Mk5 Escort was built with an odometer that only went upto 99,999 miles..... They sold in their millions but you seldom see one about now even though production went on until '00. Ford (Europe) are genuinely decent cars and have been for quite a while now. Ford US I can't comment on though.

+br4incell Exactly, Hector's tincan shitbox can be built for X amount of whp but if you believe that Joe Schmoe's Pep Bois tin can is better than high tech factory engineering and components from any major manufacturer when it comes to cooling, lap after lap, overall reliability then you are a moron lol. I agree Honda has lost its way and I do not see how we are going to get a "Type R" out of our watered down midsized car Civic chassis. Honda is no longer an innovator but a follower. There is a rumoured S2k coming out but it will not be the exclusive classic high revving sports car it used to be, it will probably be a turbo engined that is produced on the same line up as their pedestrian engines. Heck in this day an age I would not be surprised if it is only offered with a DCT and not a true manual. Fanboiz are riding on the coat tails of the past going extinct 80's/90's chassis instead of noticing Honda is not the lightweight sport compact with value they used to be. Ford is what Honda and Dodge used to be about, offering lightweight quick cars for great value, you should see the amount of previous Si owners jumping ship to Focus STs lol.

Hi, I have a quick question. There's actually not a lot of Fords (new Fords) in Croatia where I'm from, and I'm seriosuly considering buying a 1.0 125HP Focus, hopefully this year. I would like to know how reliable are they (the engines)? I've never driven a turbo petrol, and I'm not quite sure how it would do considering it's a fairly small 3pot. Is it safe to assume it would be good for at least 80K miles before any possible major repairs? Of course, with proper maintenance and reasonable driving?

@AutoTraderTV 8 жыл бұрын
+J Thom Bucket seats are not as well padded as the standard items, with slimmer cushions, and a narrower mid section, but still comfy enough.However, they are mounted quite high up - and ideally you want to sit as low as possible.
@j_thom 8 жыл бұрын
Auto Trader Hey! I really appreciate the reply! I dont mind slimmer cushions and less padding, I dont think a well formed seat necessarily needs them so I'm sure it will be fine in that aspect. I find in the Focus that the higher mounted seating position is pretty standard for the car, there definitely is no "sitting on the floor" with this rig. Just that those recaro's in the ST(3) have especially narrow thigh bolsters and the side bolsters maybe are juuuust wide enough. I dont mind aggressively bolstered seats, I've had them plenty, but these ones are just 'tight' (I suppose I'm not a rail thin guy but I'm not "fat"). I struggle to be ultimately comfortable with it and in its way more than anything else amplifies the idea of this being a small car. Was hoping those 'NEW' optional recaros were not as narrow (tho I'm all for being aggressively bolstered). I'll keep my eye on this.

Though I like him better than most as a presenter, I expected the car to be in drift mode the way he was hitting the corners in the first bit of footage that he was on the track, at least until he actually turned on drift mode. Perhaps it was just that it made for better video, but the way he was so far from the apexes and seemingly spinning the tires half way through I wasn't sure if he didn't know how to drive or just an editor picking the most exciting bits, especially with cup tires. Either way it didn't do the car justice, or at least that is my hope. I think I'll hang on to my STi until I at least drive one.

If you've ever scared a dog from behind it's back legs move faster than its front, I think that's where they go that idea from!

My opinion, I think an AWD Fiesta RS with about 320hp would be a more serious track and road car...

It wasn't the bald guy who was drifting the car, why the heck does he say that he was over enthusiastic? XD

Biggest Brembo brakes ever fitted on an Focus he said, but in the rear they must forgot to put Brembo brakes on, in the rear brake caliper design is the same as on an Focus 1.6.
