Ford Focus RS Mountune vs Honda Civic Type R | Round 2!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Honda Civic Type R versus Ford Focus RS Mountune MR375 the second coming.
PH had already tested the previous generation Civic Type R against the Focus RS, but now with the FK8 on the scene, we had to put it up against the Mountune upgraded Focus RS. Can the best front-wheel-drive hot hatch on offer today upset the all-wheel-drive Focus RS?
Which one would you have as your daily?

both the Type R and the RS are GREAT cars! I've done an actual track battle with my Type R and the Focus RS, the most fun on the track I had this year.

FlyinGato I have the focus rs it’s an amazing car !! I also love the type r 👍 I’m getting sick of the battling between these cars.. I think it’s just a matter of opinion 💎
I swear, I honestly believe at 50 years-old, I would cut my yearly pay by 30% to have the job of traveling the world as a test driver/car reviewer. That would definitely be the shit. Lucky bastards, they are.
I love both cars..its amazing they are even made,hot hatches that do 160mph+ and scare supercars on the road.great times 👍
I went for the Type R for reliability. A good all round fast and fun car that also acts as a daily car for work. Can’t go wrong.
One big difference this review does not cover is how the RS with its rear axle torque vectoring can POWER OVERSTEER. Fast into an apex, throttle mid corner and the car ROTATES, it's incredible. Type R or FWD fans in general are doing themselves a disservice by not driving an RS or any RWD car hard to exploit its handling.

The Focus RS is way way too stiffly sprung giving a really rough, bouncy ride that will loosen your fillings if your not careful. Type R in comfort mode rides surprisingly well, really comfortable, and is the better car here.

One of the biggest issue's i had with the focus was transit van seat height. Ford im not a courier.
I don’t know if I’d say they were similarly powered when the focus has 60hp and 80lb ft of torque over the Civic. I’d take the Focus simply because of the AWD and styling as the civic is a bit over the top styling for me

The focus has 20-25% drivetrain loss given the AWD system while the civic has 10% loss only as its a FWD with a front engine, so at 20% loss the Focus makes 300hp and 281 at 25% whereas the civic makes 288; therefore, power reaching the ground is within 10hp difference only. The civic is lighter as well.

+eComTrade Lol did you just pull that out of your ass and hope it's going to stick? The Focus is slower in in-gear accelerations because of it's longer gearing compared to most cars in this class, but that's about it. It destroys the Honda 1/4, it destroys the Honda 0-60. The only cars that are significantly faster are the A45 and the RS3, both cars ridiculously more expensive. On track, in the dry, a lot of cars in this class are evenly matched (that includes this Honda), some magazines have lapped RS quicker on some tracks and vise versa. They are all usually between 0.5 and 2 seconds of each other. So no, the Focus isn't particularly slow for it's class. In fact considering it's price, it's one of the fastest-per-buck cars on the market today that in addition to being fast in the dry, is also fast in the wet you retarded dumbfuck. Not to mention being the only car offering true rear-bias fun.

Both these cars are a fantasy for me, but I've been looking at reviews on both for a while now, and I'd probably go with the Civic. It's close, the AWD of the focus and slightly more power is appealing, however that head gakset issue (I've seen a video on a 2017 model too where one wen) plus the inside of the Civic seems a bit nicer for me. After all inside the car is where you'll spend most of your time.
Love the Civic Type R, but something seriously needs to be done in the aftermarket for its exhaust sound if I bought one.

Supposedly muffler delete is about as good as it good as it gets. Remus do an exhaust for it but really it's down to your taste. Not for me personally. For sure the CTR is ironically not showy in noise to looks. Conflicting times. The focus could be argued over does this. Sometimes you don't want the attention or noise.
I've driven both the type r and rs on track, love both but got to say the rs is something else when it comes to handling and also we all now how much ford rs goes up in value it has such a cult following, if I had to choose it would be the rs mainly because of the AWD system and the styling of the type r is a bit max power boy racer for my liking
Both great cars but I agree the civic just takes it for me
The big difference for me, you can see it in the video, you sit in the Civic, and on the Focus. And the amount of bounce you have in the Focus is unpleasant. You look like you're on a fairground round in the Focus.

It's the biggest compliment that can be given to Honda that other popular hatches need the extra power in bhp and torque to keep pace and try attract customers. Ford do not have the greatest reputation with reliability in their power units however. German rivals can have more power but it's all rear wheel based or AWD and the jury is out on their reliability.

Both cracking hot hatches without a doubt, I don't honestly think I could pick a winner I'd be happy with either. However it was my money and I wanted a fast, fun daily driver it'd be the BMW 335d Msport x-drive without doubt. Great review though.

Sometimes a man has to make compromises.
I know I drive a focus st, so yes I'm a Ford fan, but I do love the new Honda civic type R. The Honda looks like it'd eat the focus on a track as it's clinical in what it does. The focus usually wins reviews due to its playfulness. I buy a hot hatch for its fun factor. So I'd take the focus as a daily. But if I was buying a hot hatch to win time attacks, Honda all day.
Living in a place that has actual winters, the only real choice here would be the RS. In canada it is a bit more expensive but it comes with a set of winter wheels/tires + heated seats and steering wheel. There is also the fact that the type-r is having transmission issues (grinding gears) and oil consumption problems which in my opinion is a deception for a brand like honda..

FWD actualy works well enough during snow since it "pulls" the car and engine weight rests on the driven wheels. Dont expect to retain grip while flooring it in snow, not even a Subaru can do that. And the transmission issue is just a little error with syncros. Guess some find it worse than blowing up the 2.3
I can't watch anymore what is he doing with his hand when shifting😅 Otherwise good review and go Honda!
ugh... i want both
great comparison. i would have the ford
For me a hot hatch is meant to look a bit nuts this gen of Focus Rs tho good doesn’t look no where near as good as the last one even tho it’s a better car. The interior on the focus looks boring the civic type R Looks insane both inside and out and that’s why it’s my choice

Which would be more fun? 'Serious' FWD understeering boredom or so called 'gimmicky' rear AWD-bias with power on oversteer.

I think you went against your own video... its pretty clear to see which is the better car just by watching your face. The RS had you smiling and excited, while the Type R you showed no emotions at all. The RS smokes the Type R in a drag race. Maybe the Type R is better on the track, but lets be honest.... How many of us are going to a track with our cars? Not many! For a everyday driver the RS is much more fun, while the Type R will be a bit more refined with the ride, the RS is the way to go... And just incase you think i'm a Honda hater.... I drive a 2012 Honda Civic SI... It's an awesome car... But I would choose the RS over the Type R if I was buying a new car.

for what ever reason you really want to make the R the better car, but throughout the video you have more fun with the RS and most things you say makes the RS a better car.
Typical. Honda does is again. Honda makes a Civic with 306bhp, FWD, for 34K MSRP....... It's competitor makes a 350bhp, AWD, for 41K MSRP...... Not only is the Civic better, we go as far here to bring in a modified Focus with 25 more HP, obviously for even MORE money, and still........can't trump the Honda.... And this is not even factoring in the everyday things in owning one for longer than a track test like reliability, build quality, fuel consumption, etc.... Honda ftw 🤘.......this is why I'll always buy Honda. I'll never buy an American car over a Honda. Only reason I have an old Chevy truck is cause I couldn't find a Ridgeline or Tacoma for 5 grand 😂

Our local dealership (very small town) sold 2 of them within 2 months but that was all they were allocated to receive.
Superf**ing annoying music.

The opening song.
Of course honda is better....always have always will
Can we have some real British weather, then lets see the comparison.
All these butt hurt rs fanboyd. Guess they didn't see the track times the type r has been putting out. Much faster than the rs. Also, fact that type r is just better in every way except going straight. The rs has the straight speed but that's about it. It's all facts. Tell me something real car enthusiasts doesnt know please.

AlienNinjaPuppy i can’t wait to get a hold of a type r engine to swap it into my John deer push lawnmower. Honda has the best lawnmower engines for sure.

Technically the Type R would beat The RS in an infinite straight line because 15,000 miles into the race, the RS would blow it's engine.

AlienNinjaPuppy well ford or honda never did put on track times...
Horses for courses, each to their own, im a honda fan, but that exhaust is boring......ill stick with my nismo 370z......type r one day when they sort out the styling and exhaust and add awd plus more power.....a45 amg getting rebuilt to 400bhp. Its gona be leaving e92s and stock m2
I only realise now, how ugly the focus is!
EVO
Ford all day
Ford rs looks so Cheap HIDEOUS. .
What a load of bollocks, due to the way it looks- everything else is irelevant. The minimum someone expects from a car for 30k is that it looks at least......ok
This guy is a Honda boy toy. Annoying. Wow you don't say that an AWD car is different than a fwd car? Brillant take.....

Blake Swan Truth be told the rarer more hardcore FK2 Type R was better than the Focus RS Mk3 never mind this latest FK8 edition, however I hate the look of the FK8 and it sounds rubbish, to be brutally honest!! I would say that If it hadn’t had been for a couple of biased reviews from Top Gear and Co... about how fwd are rendered useless in wet etc those who discounted the Type R would have realised it’s actually fantastic if they’d bothered to test drive it and now Fk2 production finished and done. Truth be told again, the Type R does perfectly fine in wet. I’d also add that since the FK8 launch, a lot of people have realised the previous FK2 Type R is absolutely brilliant so now there’s two Focus Rs rivals interesting times for the hot hatch sector especially with the Megane Rs on the horizon. I’ll add I’m hearing and reading more and more hot hatch enthusiasts waking up and smelling the coffee - Civc Type R....it’s a joy to drive and brutally fast and nothing to prove. Having said all that I do like the RS but you can’t underestimate the Type R.
The Type R looks like a 16 year old designed it and the type R has fake vents everywhere. The RS has more power and 4 wheel drive. Rs all day everyday. Type R fans are children who know nothing about cars or Honda fan boys who would compliment a dog turd with a Honda badge on it.
