    Today i took out a car that many enthusiasts rave about, a Focus RS. This Tuned Focus RS is an absolute monster in a straight line, but where it really get crazy is in the corners. With AWD, and a rear bias setup, this Tuned Focus RS will take you through a corner with an amount of finesse that you couldn't even put into words. Well, i did put it into words, kind of. I had an absolute blast driving this Tuned Focus RS, and i now understand why everybody loves these cars. Not that i ever doubted it was good or anything, but i finally got to see for myself.

    Best little Hot Hatch ever made. Ford did a hell of a job on this car.

      I said same thing, I have owned many “sports cars” that feel like a base model that was altered to make more power. Examples include;
      Msp3 third gen, Ralliart
      Mustang
      Subaru wrx sti(worst one)
      Mazda speed 3 2010 2nd gen
      Ford focus rs
      This car focus RS is by far the fastest smoothest hatch I’ve ever seeen
      It’s like they took race car n dummed it down so we can enjoy a race car that also somewhat practical for daily.
      I at first said even if I had 150000 to spend I’d get a ford focus rs.
      But IFind myself looking at other cars still.

    I have a 100% stock 2018 Focus RS which I drive infrequently. I drove my RS last night and forgot how fast it is. I gave it a little too much gas while turning and almost went into on coming traffic, lucky for me I reeled it in real quickly.

    The torque vectoring on the ST is different to that of the RS, the ST does indeed have torque brake vectoring, but does nothing with the lost power, however the RS has full torque vectoring and will shift power to one rear wheel if needed

    Such an interesting car. Basically outpriced its target market and was abused by dealerships resulting in a short sales life. Used market is definitely something to watch. Very nice mods as well, owner didn't pinch pennies. Great to see.

    I know this is an older video great video by the way. Have to ask though are you flat foot shifting that RS? I know there is a tune for them that you can do that, so I am just curious. I put this comment in at 9.30 so if you discuss it later sorry.

    What's the deal baby!?!? Hey dude, I gotta ask....how is the ride quality compared to your FiST? I feel like a lot of people knock it for that (and the turning radius), but I often wonder if they are just overexaggerating.

    • @GriffinBlanchard
      @GriffinBlanchard  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ayyy whats the deal! the ride quality was a bit rough. the fiesta is more forgiving for sure. I think the 19inch wheels on the rs is what make it rough like that, so maybe just a quick wheel swap would fix it. But that being said, it feels fitting for it to be as rough and rowdy as it is, i mean its an rs. lol thanks for the comment man!

    I wanted to trade my 2016 ST in for an RS a few years back..but just couldnt justify the cost. For the cost of my FBO, big turbo set up..I'm still WAY cheaper than a stock RS and I'm quite a bit quicker. FWD doesnt bother me as I've proven on track and the back roads, AWD is cool but not necessary to be faster than others in corners if you're a good driver ^_^
