"Ford just made an STI and they made it better than you did." God, that just hurts.

I appreciate any RCR where the copy starts getting a little too "deep" without warning.

Its awesome how he gets deep real fast, and then a joke gets it back on track, just like Top Gear

The bad blind spots in all modern cars are a turn off for me. There are more practical ways to make a car safer. I shouldn't need to feel like i'm driving a submarine with a periscope just to see whats around the car!

As a huge Subaru fan... I like this thing. More manufacturers should make cars like this. 5 door, awd, 6 speed, everyone needs that in their life.

Love, love, LOVE the commentary at the end about the dichotomy between cars as a means of escape as well as integration within a community of like-minded people. My love for cars has always been very insular and... well, maybe it's time to change that.

"this is my dream car... I know it sounds funny because it's a hatchback but I wanted something I could share with my family. Some guys use cars to get away from their families but I didn't want to keep things separate from them, I wanted to share things I love with them" ^ words of a wise man

Euroford is best ford.

"Why *wouldn't* you want to share that? Sharing something you love with other people. It might not be all there is to life, but a lot of times... it's the best thing there is to life." It might just be because I'm really drunk, but you made me legitimately cry just then. Cry at the beauty and majesty of being alive and the value connecting to other people. Thank you. "Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead." - Emily, The World of Tomorrow

“You put a mustang keychain on the keys to your grand am” hit real close

well i should expect a lot of badges because if i bought a rs i dont want people to think im just driving a st

That negotiation process was just "wow". But sharing what you love with people you care about... PREACH.

oh look, the ford focus type r

"Drift mode" needs to simply be called something else...

9:29 - "and then you take your wife to test-drive it with you." _show's Roman getting into the car_ I always suspected you two...

I think Ford's new slogan should be: "Looking Forward, not Backwards."

"Speaking of software, let's talk about Drift Mode" I laughed so hard at that line because I KNEW some funny but true RCR-style remarks were going to be made about this before I ever clicked on the video lol

I was worried rcr was gonna lose its roots somewhere along the way. this review proved to me you guys still can keep it together through all the success and support. congratulations. don't let it go to your head. you don't have to keep your mouth shut anymore.

Reviews like this one are always my favorite. Ones where Mr. Regular delves into the psyche of car people and car culture. They're always deep and mostly true for the mass majority. They always make me reflect on why I'm a car enthusiast and what I'm doing as a car enthusiast. A+ Mr. Regular, giving me the feels again this time from a Ford.

**Looks at the owner of the car** **Looks at his box of Raisinets** **Puts the box down**

HOW IS YOUR BROTHER?

The Focus RS. The kid that you met in elementary that turned into the cool kid in high school.

To me, those blind spot mirrors on the Focus worked great!

You helped me more than relationship counselling ever did and ever will with this video Mr. Regular... Thank you.

Aesthetically It reminds me of a prius and the interior looks claustrophobic. To hell with nanny state safety regulations, I might survive in a rollover, but the bicyclist next to me won't survive when I change lanes because he is blocked by the supposed safety features.

Bro, your narration is absolutely amazing, I fell in love with your series.

I like the RS as a whole, but I dunno if I could get past the interior (other than the awesome Recaro seats). I dislike the little gauges that Ford plops on top of the dash most of all. They look cheap.

I don't tend to "like" your videos anymore, mostly because I just take that part for granted, but I took the time out to do it for this video. Thank you, Mr. Regular. I can't wait for the rest of this season.

The Focus RS, quickly becoming the new Mustang of car meets.

been using the little mirror thingy for blind spots for 4 years on my SE focus it works its just ok

The outro song was also featured in the interview Mr. Regular and Roman did a couple of weeks ago.

Holy shit, that guide on how to make your wife let you buy the RS was pure gold. I'm saving this for the future, just in case I'd want to buy some mildly outrageous car.

8:18 "He can rely upon the RS" *Head gasket has left the chat before 10000 miles*

now THIS is car reviewing done right - the poetry of the pistons, the alliteration of the alternator, the free verse of the fender. i'd say you were the Kerouac of the road, but some dude named Kerouac already beat you to it. still, love the jazzy riffing review of this hierophant of the highway.

A dream car you can share with your family. That speaks strongly as to why the Civic Si has a sedan and Civic Type R is a hatchback. You can’t sell a family man on a 2-seat 370z or S2000 without owning a secondary car.

Jesus effing fuck, I remember when a 2.4 was doing good to crack 150hp. Something changed. I wonder what sort of spinny, blowing thing that was.

Now review 2016 Golf R please? :3

This is the first RCR video where I recognized exactly where they were the whole time. Awesome!

I totally did the bait and switch you described on my wife with a new triumph thruxton and a 1986 mustang gt convertible. Worked like a charm 6 years ago. Now we both enjoy the mustang.👍👍👍.

Drift mode doesn't just shift power distribution, it also stiffens the suspension to make it easier to hold a slide.

The owner adds 1.8 seconds to the 0-60 time

Really well done. I think this video has landed spot number three on my list of favorite RCR videos; following the PT Cruiser and first Miata reviews. Side note: My uncle bought a Camaro SS about 5 years back by suggesting to my aunt the prospects of owning a ZR1 Corvette. Marriage doesn't need to be a competition but sometimes it's more fun that way.

love this guys sarcasm and analogies. cant believe i've missed out on this channel for this long

Just me, or is Mr. Regular easing off the dirty jokes some? #demonitizationThreat

I know you're a hilarious satire channel RCR - but that ending was really great. I bought a Focus ST 2 years ago for the same reason this guy did. I wanted my family and friends to enjoy it if they ever came and visited me. I wanted a car that put a smile on my face - but other people enjoyed it too. I even wanted to teach my future SO how to drive it. It fit all those marks pretty perfectly. I loved driving it - and even all the non-car people really liked it. You don't even have to mod it - it's just good the way it is. I decided to sell the car this past April. I sold it and decided to *GULP* lease a 2016 Civic, as it was a "smart and sensible" decision. However, I think the ST and the RS are truly the perfect family cars for people who would like to have fun and also not have to compromise fun for practicality. With my Civic, I just have a "car". With the Focus, it was a fun driving experience and a unique vehicle that other people also enjoyed as much as I did. I still miss it.

Jesus man, I cried at that last bit when you were talking about car people using cars to escape.

Mr. R I've never left a comment before, but man your videos really do make us happy. Thank you.

Nice Honda Civic

In a year of driving it, I’ve managed exactly 25MPG, and that’s about 95% City. But I drive like an old man almost all of the time.

I'm honestly impressed you managed to make a solid Oliver Twist analogy with this car; "...and then you held the RS porridge bowl over our heads for FOUR BLUE BALLED YEARS" Subbed.

I love that when I watch a RCR review, I end up learning more about life than I do about the car. especially that festiva review.

When I saw this on my feed I was like, this is gonna be an interesting review.

>"Alfred can rely on the Focus RS" Man, that comment aged like milk

That ending monologue was beautiful and I totally agree.

Lovely. This is the second of your videos that I could follow your humor/POV throughout. The first being the Civic Si hatch, the car I actually own. I really appreciate your thought process on this one, couldn't agree more. Cheers!

Let's hear it for the FORD!

How dare you call me a real human being.

Dude you should be on the American TopGear. People like you would make a show like that worth watching.

Another great review and more smiles - cheers! As a time-served automotive certification engineer, I can confirm that it's not legal for the rear-view camera to constantly send an image which is directly visible to the driver - it's (allegedly) too much of a distraction. This applies to cars approved for sale in Europe/Australia/USA/Canada to my knowledge; it may also apply to other territories that routinely adopt European and/or US Federal legislation or modify the same to suit local requirements rather than developing bespoke standards. The system is considered as a driver's aid, but in itself that invokes conditions like "low-speed only" and/or "when reversing only". I'm not sure how Tesla has addressed that particular nugget of legislation; it may be due to recent changes in the European "rear visibility" standard (UN-ECE Regulation 46) which now allows direct viewing via a mirror to be replaced by a camera/monitor system, provided that a stringent set of conditions is met. I can guess based on previous experience that Tesla is currently lobbying NHTSA for the existing USA mirrors legislation to be updated to allow the same thing. I shall now once again hide my geeky knowledge and get back in my box.

Is it weird, that I want a sedan version of the Focus RS? that would be cool, and will look more proper and simple than the hatchback

You NEEED to do a 911. The 911 has had a Massive impact on automotive culture

The way this car sounds at 2:24 is just so great

After driving a Transit Connect for awhile, I learned to appreciate the little inserts, because that’s all you have...

6:57 "But she's got this annoying laugh like Spongebob Squarepants exploring the hidden worlds of his own *PROSTATE!"* That's it, I'm done ✅ 😂

It's a really cool car but there's only two glaring problems I see with it: (1.) No LSD or Torsen diffs, which is a requirement to be a really good AWD car like this one is marketed as. Brakes are a poor man's substitute. (2.) I still wouldn't feel right spending $40k on a focus unless I had a family like the owner.

6:11 ""Daisy from "Angels" of Shield""...

Back again with the wisdom from Mr. Regular! The last line is a real pearl on the necklace of life.

This car just proves the theorem that the further you get from Detroit "engineers", the better the car. Ford is a 1950s rocket program, our Germans are better than your Germans.

Jesus man, what is that upload schedule. Its 4:00 am here when you uploaded this.

My car nerd glands start salivating over this car and the Golf R. They're these hatch backs that are actually as fast as I wanted to believe my old 90 Civic hatchback was when I tap into my nostalgic side.

Gotta say love your vids man especially this one! Can't think of anywhere else to get deep social commentary laid like icing on top of a car review cake.

8:37 that’s a good idea... I’m gonna do that, Dodge Challenger scat pack SCAT PACK SCAT PACK SCAT PACK....... and then Civic Type R 👌😎

This video went from 212 views to 784 in the time it took me to watch it.

Very deep there at the end and those thoughts are great, also Alfred sounds like a good guy. Good guy Alfred.

i like the gyrating blubber in the lower right corner covered by blue cloths as the car gets down the road in the POV shots

Please sir may I have some more?.. MORE?!

After the RS, Subaru has decided to bring the STI spec C to America.

I learn more life lessons from watching mr. regular than from life itself

This has to be the realist video you ever made

Review the Cadillc Catera PLEASE

Even the na SE 2.0 is a great handling car

That last part was super deep and highly relatable as well as thought provoking..

This are reviews, no boring ones that only throw numbers and spec sheets

I thought the 2.3l Ecoboost was closer-ish to the Mazdaspeed6's engine

review a mk1 volkswagen gti please

Agreed, the best part of owning something you enjoy is to be able to share that joy with someone else.

Best video ever. Wow. That last bit about car communities and sharing a passion for cars was very profound and well said.

"hype up by ing a 350R so that your wife will let you buy the RS", genius😃

oh yeah I'm early

The shout out to Subaru was SO accurate. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.

This is the weirdest car video I’ve ever watched

@7:33 The owner of the car is almost as big as the vehicle itself. Jesus Christ.

Glad to see my old hometown of Lynchburg VA make it on a review. Oh, I'm a ST owner but have a huge hard-on for the RS. One day... IT WILL BE MINE.

I love how philosophical these weird reviews get. It all happens so quickly without warning. The commentator obviously thinks a lot

Ugg, why would you get this car in white!?

What happened to the adult jokes? Is it because of KZfaq's new TOS?

You gained a new loyal subscriber, a video like, and an avid new fan who will watch all your videos and like new content ♡.

¡Kamehameha paddle reference! Well done, sir.

Dang that driver needs to hit the gym. It will make that car much faster. He looks about 300 pounds.
