For the shifter feel I highly recommended getting shifter cable bushings, it takes over 90% of the soup stirring feel away

Great video! I have a 2014 and have had way different issues than you but I appreciate your take! I wish I would have watched videos like this prior to purchasing lol. But you live and learn right? Also, what is the song at the end of this video and who sings it??

Get an e30 tune... game-changer: promise!

I am planning to buy a 2018 focus st 132,000 for 15 think it’s worth it coming from a dealership

Get some solid shift bushings you will love them trust me

Thinking of buying a 2013 with only 80k on it. I’m just concerned about the lifespan of the car. I would hope to get 150k at least, but would prefer 200k. Not sure if these cars last that long.

I actually prefer our generation focus over the new one. Yeah it's dated in the fact that we've seen this face for a while now, but the new one is more soft looking in my opinion.

maybe I missed it but I don't think you ever explained what the bog down was when you started the car

Are you still running the mbrp exhaust with no resonator in the middle

I have an ST3 with the "upgraded" Sony 10-speaker sound system, and as a fellow musician, I can confirm that it's incredibly mediocre at best.

it definitely has its flaws but…

Most of the problems with any car happens when you start tunning it and modificating. The engineers with many years of experience and competence spend years and years trying to make the best possible bakance between the performance, consumption, CO2 emissions, handling and susspension in order to make car as good as possible. And then comes so called tunning exoert and he will make your car even better and faster because the enginerrs from factory know shit. For a God sake don't modify yout St, leave it stock and it will las for ages. If you need more powerfull car get yout self Rs.
