Malaphax Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 That thing is pretty sick. In a more realistic world I would be far more interested in a Fiesta ST than a Focus RS, but I have a feeling this might edge out an STI in terms of performance on most metrics. My only concern is with ford's AWD system, I'm interested in just how effective it is or if it's mostly FWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I have not seen too much technical discussion regarding the AWD system they are using other than Ford saying it's "all new". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T1no Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 soo production is going. nice seats but that dashboard is aging. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2016-ford-focus-rs-first-drive-review?build-2016011416 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 The dash isn't that great but it's not terrible either. I'm not a big fan of it's color scheme though. The external paint I like. I know that baby blue paint has become popular over the last few years, but I really like it. I still have the Fiesta ST and Focus ST on a short list if I would ever consider getting a new car, but I just can't quite see myself going for something as crazy as an RS, even if I really would want to.

Malaphax Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 The one thing I like is that the ST200 dash is much nicer looking than the current Focus RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 The gauge distance is one thing, I understand it has to do with the larger display in the middle, but I have a feeling that would throw me off. I dislike the blue color scheme of the RS. I'm sure a US meter wouldn't be in KPH so I won't comment on that. I actually dislike the font on the ST200 gauges though.

T1no Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 that interior is too busy for my taste and not a fan of those vertical vent look. the recaro seats actually fits my form well and snug but the pattern and coloring in them its too much. the RS recaro tho its sexytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
