I got to admit that Focus RS in white looks much better than green and blue. But as much as I love that Focus RS, I take the Evo. The 10th generation Lancer is where Mitsubishi really got the styling right.

I'd have to agree I had the evo 10 FQ 300 with the SST gear box and I had nothing but problems with it, after spending 1500 quid on a new cam chain after 36000 miles I traded it in for the focus RS and I love it the sound is brilliant, it makes me wish I'd gone for this in the first place.

Hi I'm from the future. There is an upgraded stronger chain now! The engine is an open deck design on the Focus and has proved unreliable, unlike the semi-closed design on the evo.

Focus... not so much. 2) The track is a small track w/ consecutive turns (no straights for power to be a factor). 1 second difference is a lot... if not huge.

A friend of mine has a tuning company and so a dyno at his company factory. He owns a Focus rs and an new rs 500 and put it on a dyno. The normal focus only had 230 hp and the rs 500 something around 260 he said. They tried to tune the rs (normal one) and didn't get it over 300 hp. I've heard this shit before with other fast cars ! I'm a big fan of the focus rs and this was a real slap in the face for me, and also for him spending 45000 euros on a RS 500

The judges, an assortment of used car and vehicle valuation experts, voted for the Focus due to its ability to set new standards of quality in the volume car market." So are they wrong too? Are all these "experts" wrong? Have you done a better survey or study?

@Filipinoborn 14 жыл бұрын

True.. Even with a TCS, the driver was still losing traction on 2nd gear. That's one of the reason why it's losing time. Not only that, since it's FWD, and has too much power for an FWD, it's putting too much pressure on the front tires, which causing to lose loose grip faster, and wearing out the tires faster. That's why it was having bad understeer, and it was affecting the breaking performance. I think the Focus wouldve won if it was at least a RWD or 4WD..

The Evo only gets Chassis que's from the Lancer. The AWD came from the Galant VR-4 in 1992 when the Evo 1 was introduced into the rally circuits. The only reason it retained the LANCER name was because it was easier to name it the Lancer Evolution rather than start a whole new line of cars after putting together a Rally ready frankenstein out of other mitsubishi cars/parts. It is NOT an evolved version of the Lancer, considering Dodge/Chrysler ALSO owned the rights to the Lancer.

Also when looking at prices for the standard vehicles the evo starts at about 34-35k. And with the track time difference being only 1 second, I'd take the 1 second hit and save some money by going with the Focus. I'm in the US so we don't have the RS model yet, but the ST version starts at about 23K. If you aren't going to be racing the thing, why spend $10k more for a car that you would notice the difference on.

Everything you have ever driven up until recently has been cheap crap knocked out so it would sell rather than last and stand the test of time. So unconcerned with quality and up to date models you didn't even get this version of the Ford Focus, because it was too expensive and too good for you- instead having to make do with the first generation long after it had been discarded in Europe and then in 2009 a cheap crap 2nd generation with the Focus name slapped on it.

Buy a focus and tune it, it's a better car for less money and you can bring it to par with an evo x while still saving money. American focus and American evo, the evo in the video is a FQ300 not available at U.S. Dealer ships. A 5spd focus se is $17000 and an evo X is $33,590 base. You save $16590, drop that into a focus and an evo x won't stand a chance when the performance is within a $34,000 price range the focus has it.

@venom061986 15 жыл бұрын

Just 7000 alone would be a 4.6L conversion for the focus and it also converts it to rear wheel. I have a friend with an 05 evo and after a couple thousand in upgrades he is still just under 300hp at the wheels, but he is also turning good times at the track at low 12's. Evos are great from the factory but cost alot to make better I just can't see spending that much on the 1st and then the parts. Mitsubishis aren't cheap and neither is maintaining one.
