Nick Sweden don’t get the first year models otherwise for the most part it’s a really good car and you shouldn’t have any issues!

I hate that these got discontinued, for that reason. You are spot on. They price gauged these things so badly. Having a fair msrp, but trying to sell it for something else, also they weren’t really willing to move the price considering depreciation. Same with why people don’t buy type Rs. It’s a civic at the end of the day, be fair with your pricing. Mk5 Supra’s are going down the same hole, overpriced and not willing to budge in price.

fun fact the civic type r is the same msrp as the usdm integra type r adjusted for inflation back in the 90s now consider how much faster the civic is now the pricing was there for the ford (it was cheaper than a golf r and s3) people just don't "get" hot hatches because everything needs to have stupid amounts of power and rwd

Ford dropped the Focus in the U.S so they would have to import them and that's not gonna happen. The European ST is a nice car which comes with the 2.3 and it's also offered in a auto.. When they make an RS its going to be GolfR/S3 good.

I’m surprised that you don’t own a focus rs by now ... you’re always talking great about these cars I personally own a st and I love it. Support our focus community!!!!

Absolutely love my focus rs, it’s a 17 that I picked up used. Put 14k miles on it in a year and every drive puts a smile on my face.

u are the "golden retriever" of the youtube car channels, always happy, no shittalking etc... Honestly, it's a nice change. Keep the great work

I have a 2018 RS in red and love the hell out of that car. Its handling is amazing and it makes great power. I think I got the last one my Ford dealer had? And they didn't bend me over on the price either. Got it for $1,200 UNDER window sticker. I'm keeping this one!

What was the sticker price? I have the same one as you, and it's sticker price when it first came out was 60k! I said no to it and walked away.. 6 months later I got a call from the dealer saying that the car was seriously discounted, and if I was interested in coming back in to look at it again?? When I got there they told me that they (Ford) had dropped the price by 16k as they needed this gone by end of (2018) and it was Dec 20th. I got mine all in (including 3yrs of free maintenance, tire warranty, etc + tax) for 50k! Usual 2016 & 17 RS's ran 46k before the Maintenance\Tire and Taxes .. so 50k was a no brainier for me! I live in Toronto, Canada and ALL cars here are 10k more expensive than in the US!!

Just bought an 2016 RS with only 14,000 miles and I love it

2016 RS here and sooo happy I'm an owner. One of the first round on US shores too, West at least. 39k miles on it 5 years later. Can't wait to drive this thing into the future; getting a new set of PSS on it this week. Merry Christmas all!

I’ve wanted an RS since I was like 12. I think it was the first “car guy” car I really fell for, cause you know every kid is just like Lamborghini! Ferrari! Mustang! I really hope I can get my hands on one some day.

I was able to get my 2017 RS at MSRP, bought it from a small dealer in Eastern Washington. Mine was recalled for the head gasket, which was totally no big deal. I've had zero problems with the car. Too bad that debacle gave the car such a bad name. Love that car. It'd be fun to see how the car drives with that big turbo.

Just picked up an '17 RS! Tons of upgrades and lots of carbon. I'm loving it so far. Obviously faster than my '14 stage 3 Cobb tuned Fiesta ST and I haven't even played with the different modes yet.

Couldn’t stop looking at that worn out steering wheel..

Owned mine new since 2016 for MSRP, just before they skyrocketed the price. Awesome car, still gives me smiles. I live Canada, so it's perfect for winter. For me, I wanted something that I could drive year round that was exciting. Tried an STI and Golf R. This is miles more interesting than the Golf and the STI was great but the RS has so much much more low end for daily driving.

Such a good video as always dude! Sorry KZread's algo hit weird on this one :/

2022 and this is still an amazing car. we're so lucky ford built the RS. amazing platform

I bought my 2018 for MSRP. Love it and enjoy Every second when I drive it. Far from stock now but honestly unless you want to build the bottom end just stick with the stock turbo.

Awesome video David! I just rewatched your vinwiki episode about you telling your story of the time you owned a supra for $36dollars. I absolutely love that story. Hope you are doing well man and stay safe. Always look forward to seeing your videos.

I love his choice of wheel and tire size. Fits the car so well. Unlike a stock type-r with 20’s!! On a 30 series sidewall 🤭 Working at a Honda dealership and with Honda a few months ago pushing incredible lease deals on the type-r. I see a lot of the ‘wrong’ kinda owners for a vehicle like that that end up bending or cracking wheels. Not to mention obliterating the carbon front splitter. And treating it as a base model civic with fast food bags on the floor sticky spill residue everywhere. The beautiful recaros turned brown/black.
