I'm here again for the car specialists comments......those who drive bicycles or take the bus 😂😂😂
What you mean they did their research. They have the legitness
@@luckyhazard156 Sure, behind keyboard and never driven a car with more than 200 hp.....they're everywhere 😂😂😂
@@hirayaman246 you sound toxic
@@Yanate1991 No toxic, but venoM! 🤣
Rumour has it that the Focus is still in 5th gear.
now thats funny hahahaha
@diamus100 It probably sticks to 5th in "Track" mode. Otherwise would climb to 6th.
It stayed in the 5th gear because of the throttle input. If the driver wasn't asking for more acceleration, the car would have changed up the gear.
The Gearbox is the same in the 1.5 Ecoboost 182hp Model........Its so shit that the Transmission shift from 4th Gear in 5th Gear so early ........But you can make this better with other Software 🤷 But no Warranty anymore
That fake noise is awful!
It really is awful
The Clio two models ago had a whole package of sounds, including a V8. That was hilarious! (But when annoying it could be turned off as well, tip for Ford!)
Yes.. I wonder if you can delete it some how..
Can't you disable?
It sounds like shit :(
The 5th gear lasted longer than my marriage.
That constant drone would drive me mad.Especially not being able to turn it off.
How long do you want to stay in 5th gear?
Ford Engineers: YESSSS!!!!!!!!
He was in manual mode.
Laaaaaaaaaaaaame
@@indysbike3014 Yes he was, but with still two gears remaining and reaching top speed in 5th. That means the gears are too tall, if the gears had shorter ratios it would be as quick, if not quicker than the manual.
Ford approach its diffrent i think . 6th and 7 are prob what ecoboost stands for 🤣 no 6th and 7th are for highway prob but i'm worried he doesnt get to 7th
@@indysbike3014 No I think he was in automatic mode, I own the normal Focus and it looks like the light on D was on, but not on M. You can see the light for the M mode in the part where he tests the shift paddles, but not when he was on the Autobahn.
I test drove the automatic... it's was overwhelming underwhelming... the transmission was real let down and made the car boring, but for those who cannot drive a manual, they at least have the chance to enjoy the performance.
I test drove the manual on the same day, and it was so much fun... ordered it the same day and am now 120,000 km into my fun ownership.
5:17 starts Driving
👍🏻
Thx

6;41 fake sound - finished watching
I've just ordered an ST 3 which doesn't arrive in OZ until Feb 2022. Your initial dislikes were a concern but the conclusion of your review confirms that I've made the right decision. Unfortunately I wont be doing your speed without losing my job my drivers licence and my life lololol. Thanks for the honest review!!!
I literally can’t watch the video because of the car’s fake sound
I would just remove the speakers from the car not to hear that shit
@@Chris-hw4mq i think you can do it with a remap
You literally can. Turn the volume down.
@@c2atop525 its like the renault megane rs shift beep thing
It’s like being 8 years old again playing with hot wheels cars , i can’t wait to get rid of my ST
The lack of enthusiasm and excitement in Max’s voice is hilarious. 😂
I have just bought one of these two weeks ago, overall I am pleased with it. I did want the auto box, it drives ok in normal mode but I have yet to see it in 7th gear, I assume it's in there somewhere! Not bothered about the fake noise, if you drive normally in traffic etc you don't notice it. The only downside is you have to specify a CD player, which I didn't as I rarely listen to a CD but the wife is not happy she can't listen to Spandau Ballet in the car anymore so I say that's a win for me !
Are you happy with the B&O sound system? Good bass?
@@indysbike3014 We have one and the stereo is amazing
Focus st is a hidden gem.
Thank you so much for this video, awesome car with awesome test driver :)
The fake sound is like a 4 stroke motorcycle.
4 Stroke inline 2 cylinder for sure - kinda funny
@@Blubbaization it is very strange and annoying lol I don’t know who thought it would be a good idea
Yes sounds like a v twin
Sounds like a moped to me
Great reviews, respects from South Africa
I only have the st line with the 1.5 ecoboost.The 8 speed gearbox is pretty snappy for a torque converter. The ST is on my radar in a couple of years....would look at defeating the symposer. Good review.
AutoTopNL does it again, oh yeah!
Wow...157 mph?
That's pretty good
I'm in the USA so I'm jealous of those folks who can actually get their hands on one of these babies. I have owned quite a few fun cars but my 2016 Focus ST is an absolute blast, especially on a trip. My wife won't drive it because manual transmission. (Not a bad thing, actually) Thanks for taking the time to test the ST.
Please - Let's all do our part: call or write Ford US Customer Relationship Center and tell them what their American customers want. If we all contact them, maybe they'll realize it's a profitable business decision to bring the Mk4 Focus ST 6 spd manual transmission to the US/North American market. Wouldn't hurt to ask for the Fiesta ST and/or the Puma ST 6 speed manual as well!

its a crap car, americans want anything we have no matter if its good or not. you guys get the best cars we're stuck with shit ones
this guy is a great driver. i love the car hope to get it next year
Great review thinking of buying the auto for daily driving luv the Recaro seats, cheers from Australia.
Can you do a acceleration comparison with the manual and automatic as a split screen video?
Just adding a couple of thinks to your fantastic review:
- Radar cruise control is available with the manual as well at least in the UK (I own one) including the Intelligent feature where it reads and follows road signs for speed adjustment. Buried in the menus with never-ending configurations!
- The heads-up display is projected on a different screen instead of the windscreen like other do because of the QuickClear windscreen. Brands Volvo for instance make it clear that you can only have one or the other but never together as you would be projecting over those tiny metal strips inside the glass that make it sooo good in winter mornings. So they reached a compromise and I'm happy with it because you can, as you did, switch it off (btw you can add LOTS of info to that tiny screen);
- Weird that indeed there was little no no different in the droning sound between Sport and Normal, as mine in both Normal and Slippery mode turns out really quiet, and with the windows open you definitely hear more from the exhaust than speakers (sport and above and it all gets ruined...) but maybe because mine is the manual.
Keep up with the good job!
Hi
This is the perfect car for someone who is a car enthusiast wich can only drive automatic maybe because of age or disability and does not have a huge budget. Then this car is perfect
Nice review, thanks
Have a good day max from morocco love you so much ❤
Great review 👍 fantastic..
Looks great😍
All I can say after watching the video is that I'm going to buy one next year. Of course, I will have to test it by myself but I think I'll take the automatic gearbox version. Thx for the video. I think this is going to be a perfect daily car (fuel consumption doesn't bother me at all).
@3:18: so N is for “Normal”? Never knew that 😂
and 'R' is for 'Race'
_and 'P' is for 'Piss'(time)_
Max doesn’t like Neutral
@@AutoTopnl _Neutral is useless_
D is for diesel.
I dont know why but really like the interior, looks high quality
Great car. I prefer the manual. And yes, Max is right, the fake sound is a No-Go!
They really took it next level with the current ST. It was already bad in previous gen RS and ST but this... Are they trying to hide the fact that its a 4 cyl?
I have the manual, I had a problem with the speaker system and the fake sound didn't function for a bit, it was quite good without it actually, don't know why they added it
I dont understand either. You can make it sound pretty decent with a good exhaust.
@@FogsRedkiller I don't think the previous gen RS had fake sound.
As for the previous gen ST, it has a sound symposer which isn't exactly fake sound. Or at least it's way less fake than what's going on nowadays with all cars.
Nobody appears to have said it - disabling the noise is a 2 min job in Forscan in the EU versions. Just need an obd connector and a laptop. There's no symposer, no need to open the bonnet.
love the Focus ST specially to be or to go anywhere
Just a pity they didn’t use 5 cilinders anymore. I love mine. And the sound is incredible.
But is it worth the police attention and the high car tax rate
Hi Max, I am a big fan, really enjoy your videos, can you review the new Skoda Octavia VRS, thanks
Nice job
The sound comes from the resonator which is amplified into the cabin I questioned this when I bought my ST
Really didn't expect you to like the auto since you didn't seem too thrilled about the manual.
As for the fake sound, there might be a dedicated speaker for it like in the Ecoboost Mustang. You can kill it pretty easily in that car, I would assume it's the same here.
Also you're dissing the HUD but this generation is already 3 years old. Very few cars in this price segment offered a HUD back in 2017. Some don't even now.
Thanks for the review as always! This auto is definitely not for me but I think your interpretation of it definitely makes sense.
Can you do a 0-250km/u and give some timings. All the videos I’ve seen the automatic is faster in real life.
Two things i hate about my 2014 ST -- the fake noise (you can delete it but it's a pain in the ass) and the huge turning circle. The rest -- handling, power, heated Recaros, is very good. Been reliable so far -- no unscheduled maintenance in 102,000 miles. This new one is geared a lot taller. 120MPH and only turning 3500 RPM? Mine does 3000 @ 80MPH.
That's the best car you've ever drive.
Max, you’ve driven a megane RS 300 Trophy, how would you compare?
And the EDC version vs the Focust ST auto?
Personally, I like cars that don't stand out. I prefer cars that can go fast but don't look fast or aggressive. To me, the fact that it looks just like any other Focus is a good thing.
Love from Tamil Nadu
Very good hatchback
pretty stable at high speed
Nice car!
I have a Kia Ceed GT and it also has fake sound. Luckily you can disconnect a cable that is right by the windscreen wipers below the bonnet.
I've go the ST-Line spec with the 1.5 ecoboost and even though its technically slower honestly i think it sounds better and has more character than the 4 pot in the full on ST imo. The ST is still awesome though and i'm glad Ford has finally given us a automatic version to choose from and a good one at that.
I have the same engine but with automatic and it's great to drive, without that annoying drone from the ST engine.
Have the same car in black spec with red calipers and rear spoiler (st line X) ... in my opinion it looks even bettere then st version (except for the exhaust).
Finally a relatable video in mph as well as kph!
Does the fake sound happen all the time or just when the radio is on? I have never driven a car with this, my newest car is a 2014 so this was not a thing 7 years ago.
in my country this car already feel like premium car than regular one... one problem is, it having some gearbox issue and doesn't stand strong on regular tropic weather which has hot and rain climate
i love the car but it's force me to sell it due to issue and failure that shown time to time, the car i bought is 2014 fiesta with automatic transmission
What a beautiful masterpiece
Experienced driver should keep his hands on the steering wheel in the right position.
Will have to deactivate fake sound on mine in first service.
ACC is also available on the manual! Maar wat een gave video's maken jullie zeg! Top!
Not stop'n'go
How's torque steer? I had to put a Quaife LSD in my '13 to cure it.
silly question but cant you just mute the speakers? a good tune might fix the lazy gearbox imo
I think Ford Focus is one of best cars ,, value for money and easy maintenance. Ford only need to make the ST looks more aggressive , reduce the hards plastics inside, and allow customization of options,, like canceling the fake sound, and using comfort dampers in sporty mode.
I agree! I don't like digital garages at all!!! I prefer the analog gouges
I always use headphones to listen these videos, and I had to lower the volume because unfortunately the fake sound is to much, is very annoying...
On the ford MK3, i think you can disconnect it from the enginebay. in the intake manifold is a not wrong :)
Ford didn’t include launch control in the automatic Focus ST to reduce complexity according to Ford.
What he was expecting from that gearbox? It can not compete with ZF of PDK gearboxes but in mine opinion the gear shifting is great. The dial in the middle is awesome
Ford should’ve put the aisin 8 speed in this car
@@dylansterio3227 correction its a 7 speed, correct me if i'm wrong
@@Dave-pp3jr I know it’s a 7 speed. What I’m saying is ford should’ve put the aisin 8 speed.
@@dylansterio3227 ah sorry for the misunderstanding
I see Ford didn't change the key fob design (as depicted in the thumbnail). I believe that key fob's been around since the last Ford Fiesta, as my '14 Ford Fiesta has similar key fob
old but still cute 😅
I like it.
I really want one of these cars, I drive a 2014 focus and it would be a nice upgrade ;)
I love my 2013 focus st. It looks so much more sportier than this one. I wish Ford would start selling them again in the US.
I know right 😩😩

Would love to own one. would disable fake sound, full Exhaust and wait for hybrid turbo's 😋
active sound system.....
they all have it nowadays especially in germany so people dont complain about the noise outside. Hate it!
A very nice car...this is the beauty of the car...the fact that it is sleeper...🤔
When will you upload the review of the rs6 1000hp?????
J'ai une ST3 je la monte a 270KM/h ... Mon regret c que à l'époque pas de boite automatique j'adore Cool c Cool et hard c hard j'adore en ville
We need this Focus ST in my country.
_no_
No sir
we have them in nz
Thumb up for not liking the digital dial
the auto might shift quickly and be fun with fast shift, but if i can afford one soon i hope.. it is gonna be a manual, acording to manufacturer webpage, cost les, uses less fuel and i cheap to maintain.
yeah you should be able to disable the fake sound. it just is too noisy and seriously would give you headache after a little bit while.
i`m curious for a test with Focus 2.0 ecoblue A8 :D
I own an Focus ST mk3 fl and i love it. It also have the fake sound but it doesnt sound like an freakin 4 stroke motorcycle😂 RIP mk4
super auto
I would have bought one were it not for that annoying noise from the engine. Instead I went for the 1.5 litre with the 182 horse power, and that's fine for me.
For this car or better said for EVERY Hot Hatch would be my choice the manual gearbox
Having owned a DSG Leon Cupra for a while now, I disagree :)
I agree - Manual is way more fun. I don't care if a DSG shifts faster it's still not the real thing!
So, what's the essence of this video? It took you 13 minutes and 25 seconds just to explain that you don't like that car. Wow! 👏🏻
Well, he did like the car
Its called a review...
could you do the 2021 audi SQ7 top speed
I would like to see a review of ford focus st the diesel one
Was it a full throttle acceleration? Comparing it to a 190ps oder 245ps 2.0tsi it doesn't look much faster?! An my 190 ps 2.0tsi (seat leon) runs over 250 and this relatively quickly.
The automatic kills the acceleration...the Manual is much faster. 0-100 (0-60) Automatic: 6,1 seconds
Manual: 5,7 Seconds
@@banimeyer6415 and VW lies about HP Numbers, so people think vws are fast for their hp

I am wondering, what is the difference between 2.3 ecoboost and 2.3 disi?
Same block that's all, everything else is different
the gerabox as the ration to long, if the only overdrive was the 7th gear it would be faster and still keeps the emissions and consumption down, but it is what it is.
Manual all the way for me! (with the fake sound deleted ahah)
The thing is this is a TC AT. Ford didn't develop a new gearbox specially for the ST. The gearbox is actually designed for a 1.5l ecoboost engine. For that the 6, 7 are overdrive ratios and 8th is looooong. With 3rd gear split into 4th the 6, 7 both became too damn long gears
So effectively its acceleration from 4th onwards slows. But the emissions will be great in normal mode. Efficiency wise however its still not good., thats down to Fords ecoboost tech that still purposefully pushes extra fuel into cylinders to control cylinder head temperature. I still think Ford needs to build a better 2.0l engine. The 2.3 is great but not best as it very heavy., almost 22 kg more than VW E888 2.0 TSi which is very high for a hot hatch
Wish you would put a conclusion at the end of every video
Why isn’t this for sale in the USA? I think it would sell well against the Honda Civic and Chevy Cruze.
I'am from TURKISH I love you 🇹🇷🥀❤️❤️
I like this Jobs Men
This could well beat the Golf GTI in the driving department (which matters most)... but that interior... and that noise...
Go for the 6 speed manual Focus ST and the sound and driving experience is better than the Golf GTI
Great car for this price + looks good.
Can anyone tell me a hot hatchback that doesn't put fake noisee on is speakers?
I'm the complete opposite of you with the like dislike updates... I love the digital Dash, and hate the auto... it's sluggish and has not feel to it.
To me the choice was simple... I'm a driver and I want a drivers car... manual everyday.
