I am sorry but this review has been so good I had to watch it again. The constant taking a piss at whoevers turn it is is just gold. Keep it up and thank you!
thanks for the review! As other people said, good execution and editing. Overall an accurate and fun review that was a perfect balance of humour and skillful reporting 😃😃
This is easily the best review of the Focus ST Track Pack on TH-cam. I took the plunge and put a deposit down on one of these last month - after watching your review I cannot wait until she arrives in August!
2 month lead time is good - good luck with it - fun on its way. Thanks for the comment. You can send this to your friends and tell them - this is the car I ordered :)
@@marklehmann5867Took delivery of her last week - stunning machine. I got lucky and got dibs on a cancelled factory order! You won't regret the purchase - this car is a riot, though adding the Mountune M330 package really opens the engine up and makes use of those massive Brembo's. Wishing you health and many miles to enjoy!
Brilliant review! Fast Fords! Hot hatches... Fiesta ST or indeed this! So overlooked. And yes would be on my Lotto buy list. Thank you for bringing this hidden gem to our attention again.
Great vid. I have from new a 2020 Orange Fury Mk4 ST with the Mountune M330 map. 4,000 revs??? I'm typically at 2,6-2,8 in the appropriate gear and I am at the legal limit, 30/50/70. From 3,000 she just gets so much attention and we are acquiring points on the licence. Could be the map, I can't rememebr drivng her without it as that was three years ago. I wouldn't make the switch to a 4.5. Someone I know did and now regrets selling his MK4 Orange Fury. Have to say would like the light weight alloys though, but reckon the bespoke pirelli rubber for them would prove expensive in later life.
Can't compete with the Golf GTI on image and perceived desirability, but superior in all other aspects. Probably the best hot hatchback that doesn't cost ridiculous money (yes, Honda Civic Type R, I'm talking about you). Honourable mention to the Hyundai i30N.
BMW 128ti , Cupra Leon is approx on the same price so it's not a rip off ... also the S3 and the and the AMG A35 is far more pricey...not to mention that the current GTi has awful exterior 😂
Whoa, Howard! What happened to the knitted jumper wearing, non-facial haired, executive driving, Howard? He’s transformed into a Shakespearean boy racer, that’s who! P.S. I’d just find it hard to spend the £40k I don’t have, on a Ford. P.P.S. Keep up the great editing and more importantly, the fun.
I'm both shocked and disappointed by the clothing that Howard was wearing in this video! I thought he'd dress appropriately by wearing a shell-suit and a backwards worn baseball cap with the words _"Innit"_ upon it? 8-))... However... I have to confess I was actually searching TH-cam for *"Aleksandr Scriabin On Cars"* and surprise, surprise... This video popped up?! _Who'd have thought?_ ;-))... But another great review from the one and only HR _(Aka Aleksandr Scriabin.)._ 8-))...
I've got around 40mpg in my cupra ateca (higher car same engine but with a tune ) on a long drive , on eco mode , but jesus thats painfull :D. You can do it , but it doesnt mean you should

It's very likely that an extension for"ice" cars (normal cars) will be required (probably at the very last minute due to current poor planning). The electric revolution will remain more or less unfit for purpose for it to run to 100% capacity within just a few years time. Plug in hybrids, probably, but electrification will not be the be all and end all. I just hope that car manufacturers will start to regain some sort of sense and continue to produce "ice" cars until a much more viable fuel or engineering alternative comes into play. To absolutely rely on 100% electrification and not to give the opportunity for the public to question anything about it is complete and utter madness. To ignorantly plough and push ahead this game will very likely not go down well at all with the majority of people. We don't have to go ahead with the EV revolution so why on earth should we especially when fossil fuels are not the main reason for climate change.
The mk3 RS is ok but the mk4 st has quicker in gear acceleration (standard) I've got a 3 focus the newer 4 focus sync and other bits I'd prefer. Not so boyracer looking
Had a mk2 MR290 for 5 years, it was bullet proof. sold it as 3 rd child came along and only had 4 seats(st3) When I hear one drive by now I'm like damn they sound good❤

Wow 2 months lead time jealous much I did mine last month and was told 6-9 months maybe longer. Great review best one I have seen too.

What a phenomenal review! How you aren't mainstream is beyond me! Carwow who?
Great review. Thank you
Fantastic Film, great review, superbly executed 🤙
Best review of this car I've seen. Getting this car in race red next week. Can't wait
I had a 2014 tangeren dream one and it never sounded like this im almost tempted to go back to this from electric
Gorgeous car. Ford knows how to make great exciting and fast cars.
Nice review!
i want this i’m the states all we have for st or rs is the mk3 and it duck i like mine but i want that mk4 its beautiful
My next car (coming soon) but in blue 😉

Superb review! 👏 Agile, sharp, fast, fit ….Ford Focus ST is simply Formidable!!!
What colour is this? It looks lovely
Rarely does the US get Euro inspired cars like this. I got a 2014 Fiesta ST built to the gills, and it's the best car ever.
Can't compete with the Golf GTI on image and perceived desirability, but superior in all other aspects.
Probably the best hot hatchback that doesn't cost ridiculous money (yes, Honda Civic Type R, I'm talking about you).
Honourable mention to the Hyundai i30N.
Am just annoyed they went with the normal seats always the option of removing them i guess and putting richardos in ?
Belting motor, like going back in time, but with modern bits.
I want one!
Yay! D’Artagnan is back ! All for one and one for all 😂
🤠
Focus st mk3.5 around bends is mental
BMW 128ti , Cupra Leon is approx on the same price so it's not a rip off ... also the S3 and the and the AMG A35 is far more pricey...not to mention that the current GTi has awful exterior 😂
they start at 59k euro hire in ireland…nuts
Yes a wonderful engine,and ford now dumping it for the dubious ev. What a waste of good engineering
Whoa, Howard! What happened to the knitted jumper wearing, non-facial haired, executive driving, Howard? He’s transformed into a Shakespearean boy racer, that’s who!
P.S. I’d just find it hard to spend the £40k I don’t have, on a Ford.
P.P.S. Keep up the great editing and more importantly, the fun.

When did Paul Chuckle start doing car reviews?
Soon after YT ran out of decent handle names.
I love mine but believe me it does not do 34mpg as advertised 🤣
What mpg do you get?
40k surely you would get a BMW M135i 306bhp and 4 wheel drive for the same or less money
But no manual transmition
M135i from 55k Euros in Spain, not 40k
BMW cars have jumped in price and there add ons are also silly money
Get next to nothing out my 5pot ST but got a diesel to be frugal in.
Man if ford kept making the focus in the US I would totally buy a brand new focus st
Focus ST or golf GTI clubsport?
Mercedes AMG
I gather they dont pump fake audio then now in the st like they did with the 2014 models?
They still do 😢

This guy must be the older presenters son.
Wonder what the electric ST will sound like in the future 😂😂 good video 😊
Focus has been discontinued
@jonah406 Well that sucks !!!
@@jonah406 not until 2025!
0:55 I've averaged 32mpg in my M140i over ~8,000 miles, and get 40mpg+ easily on a long run.
Apologies - we did not, thanks for correction

Do you drive it how it's meant to be driven or like a 118i

@@smwatson1512 that's pretty impressive then. I only manage 35-36 from my mk7 gti.
how does he know how much someone insurance would cost
40k for a front wheel drive manual gearbox ford? wow
the mk8 golf R suddenly looking like a bargain
Be me.
Have a 2017 Focus ST3.
Sits in garage except for road trips.
Only has 26,000 miles on it.
Live in America.
Cannot replaced.
Ford is losimg Billion$ due to US ev-regulations.
The facial hair looks good on you and knock years off. Cars are getting well expensive.
Where's the other presenter gone? 🤔
haha - come on - its just some hair and different clothes :)
Your eyebrows must need hydration! They’ve migrated down to your mouth for a drink!

Not 4000 mate 😆
Got one with race pack…..LOVE IT

Just a fake RS, I’ll stick with my MK3 RS thanks
The mk3 RS is ok but the mk4 st has quicker in gear acceleration (standard) I've got a 3 focus the newer 4 focus sync and other bits I'd prefer. Not so boyracer looking
Mod it and it would keep up with your RS, RS is slow
Mk2 any day. That looks the same as a 1.2..
Mmmm split liners
Had a mk2 MR290 for 5 years, it was bullet proof. sold it as 3 rd child came along and only had 4 seats(st3)

@@thatfocusguy true but mainly when its over molded, I've had 3 and touch wood been fine.
St line... pointless..just a genuine st wanna be
Save up and get a proper hot hatch from Merc or Audi, not a chav chariot like this.

Nice tracksuit. 😂😂😂😂
That was hilarious Steven.
A bit like your tracksuit. .....gonna remove this comment too?
Surely you should be on horseback with that facial hair.
