Wow a MILLION views! Thanks everyone for watching! I want to address a few things that people keep commenting on. Many of you are right about the vtec in the Type R. It does have vtec, but it doesn't operate in the way that I worded it in the video. It is used to boost torque in lower RPMs to keep smooth torque delivery as the turbo kicks in. Also, the c-diff controller in the STI only controls the centre diff, and yes as may of you have stated, you are better to leave it in "auto" mode. (Which I and Colin did do, I was only trying different things, to create more oversteer). As for the understeer in the STI, sadly this is the reality. Yes, as many of you have said, you can aggressively flick the car in and get it into a bit of a slide, but what I was demonstrating in the video, is that its NOT EASY. The Type R and the Focus RS rotate easily in stock form. Also despite what you saw in the drag race video, we did many takes and got broadly the same result. So whatever launch you saw in any of the cars, thats just the footage I chose for one reason or another. The reality is, the Focus RS wins off the line, followed by the STI, and the type R eventually pulls on the STI. That was consistent. Thanks for watching!!

Got some advice for people. 1. Buy what you like 2. If you don’t like something and someone else does, let them enjoy whatever their hearts desires without getting bent out of shape 3. Each of these cars are great and whatever suits you, great. 4. Stop arguing like 13 year old about what’s better, writing paragraphs to each other 5. I own an STI and driven my buddies Type R. They are both great cars. I love you all ✌🏼

In terms of reliability I would take the Type R, sometimes less is more and this is a great example of how a track car with only FWD is very capable without over engineering and all the extra hardware.

I've owned RWD (Mustang GT) FWD (Focus) and AWD (WRX) and I'll likely stick with AWD from here on out. Dry, rain or snow my WRX is fun 365 days a year. I don't have the luxury of being able to have 2-3 cars so having a single car that is both fun and practical all year round is very important to me.

Well done sir, looks like you got to have some fun

You vids are so good right now.

The differential switch in the sti doesn’t “send power to the rear”, or the front. It controls the degree of slip in the center differential. So maybe one could say that with it switched all the up to “lock”, then you have 50:50 front/rear. But you can’t control how much torque goes to the front or rear.

Yup and that's how a review is done! Chris is just the best there is!

Another thing to point out that is that this video was recorded at the Cayuga TMP, racetrack in Ontario, Canada. It has two LOOOONG straights that clearly gives the Focus RS an advantage - hence the laptime. If this was taken at a more balanced race track like Shannonville, the results would be different. But then again if you look at the Nurburgring laptime set by the new Type R (7:43.8) vs. the new Focus RS (8:06), the difference is also huge.

Thomas and James remind me of the original 3 from Top Gear in a great way. They don't try an imitate them at all, but the way they deliver the information and show the cars off in comparisons feels very similar to watching the top gear track tests back in the Top Gear days!

EA M The inherent design and harmonics of the EJ257 and the boxer in general lead to poor oiling on the top side of the piston and imperfect harmonics. The EJ207 is better because the equal length manifolds help even out exhaust pulses which helps reduce stress at the cost of boxer rumble.

Nice honest comparison ,I had a STI and loved it but a shoulder Injury put me out of the stick shift market because of my long commutes. I can say that the Honda does have impresive numbers but looks like a teenages wet dream not that the STI is pretty but people use to have to put that much ugly on a vehicle ,it never came stock.

So - I just purchased STi Final Edition in WR blue. Before that, I was test driving all three of them three times each as I had hard times to decide… to cut a long story short, to me it comes down to what you want to use the car for. In my garage the STi will be a 3rd car, being used seldom on track days and more often on mountain roads, on sunny and wet days. Therefore the super sticky, real 4 - wheel drive, the frenetic brakes, the very special boxer engine layout and sound, combined with true heritage and pedigree made it for me. Shame on me, but I also think it looks best 🙃.

That's what i call driver He doesn't struggle with steering He rotates the steering very soft and smooth Unlike some other famous drivers like tiff needell,who always wrestles with steering wheel,this guy is mind-connected with steering Absolutely nice,this man is the best driver

All of the cars are interesting in their own way. I am biased towards the RS, since I have an ST as my daily (I didn't but the RS, as it is a $60,00 car all day in Ontario, even before/without dealer markups). The ST has proven to be an absolute riot almost everytime I drive it, gets reasonable fuel economy, and has been quite mechanically sound. Here in Ottawa, the ST and RS are wayyyyy less common than the others. GTI's, WRX's...they are as common as a Corolla by comparison. The type R is a badass too, but they are also big money around here. Anyways, awesome content, awesome info, and keep doing what you guys are doing...I would say you guys are one of the fastest growing KZread channels for petrolheads, and you deserve it!

AWESOME !!!!!

Great job guys. I live in Toronto. If you see a black on black '14 GT500 or a Stealth Gray Focus RS give a wave.

You're quoting a pretty inaccurate time for the Vel N. It was a lead/follow lap and there were many times you could tell he wasn't going all out, simply because he couldn't.

You’re right! The Type R with racing slicks would do that

Does it matter? It’s not like the Vel N has a chance against the Civic performance wise.

I Love How The STi Sounds...

This video basically told me to look into finding a decent focus rs since it has the best of both worlds with 45 more hp

Great review and I’m still get the RS

Great video, gives a good honest comparison, would liked to see the Evo X and the Evo 9 thrown in there just for kicks

wow this is solid content. AutoGuide tried to do a comparison video of the same cars and it's absolute trash.

U sir know what u are talking about have lots of knowledge ur among the few👏👏👌👍

interesting review, thanks

You have to agree, that ford focus rs is an amazing bang for buck

Unfortunately, Ford will no longer be building Focus. But you can still contact your local dealer about availability and check out our other vehicles that might be perfect for you and your family. Oops

It's silly that the dated STi is still a benchmark today. Great car but it really needs an update besides some stiffening here and there. I know, before anyone brings it up, the GTR is almost ten years and still a benchmark, but consider how old the STi is at this point. Good review!

Engine is really the only thing outdated about the car & To be honest it's kind of what attracted me to make my purchase before things become a little less analog. But the improvement in this chassis is incredible compared to previous chassis. When I chat with other subaru owners at the track, they are completely surprised with the times I'm able to put down on a near stock car while they would have spend thousands on suspension and power mods to get their car to handle the same way. It needs more power to satisfy today's consumer market because 300hp isn't enough anymore and people just want something new. What the majority of people don't appreciate is the chassis and the fine tuning that a spec sheet doesn't easily tell you. If I were making my purchase today between the CTR & STI it would be tough.... I love the CTR and I've thought about selling my STI for one, but I have a special bond with mine.

@Retrojon 5 The real shame with the Sti isn't so much the price, it is that is slowly but surely just stopped being an Sti. An Sti used to be the rally car for the street, which is why it didn't use to have such stiff springs and 19inch wheels and all that. It's not an Sti anymore, it's just a lame sports sedan. I really hope that Subaru will return to the WRC and that the Sti will once again be inspired more by that, rather than by driving on the Nürburgring.

Easily outperformed? If "easily outperformed" to you means offering a more expensive car with more horsepower and a lot less weight to result in just a tiny bit better track performance numbers in the hands of professional drivers...then yes, I guess you could say that. [eyeroll]

Had a BASE 718 Cayman PDK as a loaner with ONLY 300HP and raced a RS from both standing still and highway pulls from about 50mph and the base Cayman killed it EVERY TIME ! didn't seem possible from specs but yup absolutely killed it

Im 13 my dad has that Honda and we love it especially me, one of my fav cars
