GTP Cool Wall: 2016+ Ford Focus RS

[SPhilli911]

I say cool. The car itself is pretty badass and I do like what it's meant for and how it came about (rally stuff... or is it Rallye Sport?). Sure it may be a little "boy racer" and "bro-mobile", but who am I to judge, I've owned worse offenders myself. But somehow I would still be okay with just an ST for a lot less money.

 

[Neddo]

Calm down people! And vote for people.

 

[7up747]

It's Cool as a pack what you get but as a car alone it's meh. Still Cool i guess...

 

[Heldenzeit]

Does it come with Monster Energy stickers in the trunk? I like the mechanicals, and I'm sure it drives great, but that alone doesn't make it cool.

Kill two birds with one stone.

 

[bremics]

Actually saw an RS as a show car when I was getting my new SE. It looked sick!

So my dream garage grows:
2016 Focus ST
2016 Focus RS
2016 Colorado

Something is wrong with that list.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Something is wrong with that list.

How so?

 

[Parker]

How so?

Because it is full of cars he doesn't like, so it must be wrong!

As for the RS, gotta go with uncool. The average person on the street doesn't think a Focus is cool and this is just a Focus with a wing.

 

[Tornado]

How so?

Well, it is a little bit odd to have the ST and the RS.

 

[Turbo]

Well, it is a little bit odd to have the ST and the RS.

I have to disagree here. The ST is a sporty looking car, but it's nowhere near as racy and high performance as the RS. Someone may want a sporty car that's not over the top, and a higher performance car to race around the track.

I have to disagree here. The ST is a sporty looking car, but it's nowhere near as racy and high performance as the RS. Someone may want a sporty car that's not over the top for cruising, and a higher performance car to race around the track.

Is there any evidence to suggest that the ST makes a better cruiser than an RS?

I'll fix that.

 

[GTvsForza]

Hey, I love Focuses! I even own one (2016 SE and had a 2014 SE 2 years ago). As for the Colorado, I'm thinking of getting a small truck next and like the Colorado/Canyon. But, if Ford brings back the Ranger I'll get that too

 

[epic_apri_39]

Weight: 1599 kg
The RS comes with 4 driving modes: Normal, Sport, Track and Drift.

Oh dear.

 

[hasslemoff]

It's a Ford focus with a drift button, Uncool.

I'd presume it would be a fun car to drive and have a blast in though and I'd be tempted to turn my cap the wrong the way and buy one.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Is there any evidence to suggest that the ST makes a better cruiser than an RS?

Yeah it doesn't make your spidey, I mean drift engage mode tingle. Thus you can cruise in peace without that pesky button screaming at you to use it.

 

[Suzumiya]

Haul kids, haul ass, rub people with their 370zs and saying "dur you spent 40k on a murican car" with your helluva car. Cool.

 

[TS050]

Can I change my vote to cool?

This car isn't as uncool as I previously thought.

 

[Tyger]

Meh. Ticks a few boxes but I've never been able to get excited about any Focuses (Foci?) for some reason. At least they've ironed out that scary understeer the original gen had, IIRC.

 

[CodeRedR51]

We live in a time where you can walk into your local ford dealer and drive away in a 350hp hatchback.

Cool.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

What's actually noteworthy here?

It's a hatchback?

No, we've been building those for a long time.

It's got 345hp?

It's 2016, there are multiple vehicles on sale with more than double that.

AWD? Again, 2016.

Torque vectoring? It's 2016.

Add the fact that it looks like one of the really bad widebody kits from NFSU2 and, well, yeah, seriously uncool.

The main thing is to get all of those things in a hatchback you need to drop significantly more money for an RS3 or an A45 AMG, which I should add aren't actually sold in the US.

The closest you can get off the top of my head is the Golf R and even with its advantageous DSG option it's outgunned by the Focus.

So the "noteworthy" stuff is the bang for your buck.

 

[TheCracker]

So the "noteworthy" stuff is the bang for your buck.

And the fact that it's better than any of them.

 

[SonicCharmeleon]

I think its pretty cool, because its a modern "tuner" car. like the BRZ, 370Z, etc.

Despite Ken Block, and "drift mode" , it will definetly spark some more people to be interested in cars.

 

[ScottPuss20]

I am a big fan of the Focus ST, and this car too. Tonnes of performance and practicality! What more do you want? Cool
