Embarquez pour un tour de la boucle nord du Nürburgring, au volant de la nouvelle Ford Focus RS 2016 lors de cette journée Touristenfahrten du 02/06/2016. Puis retrouvez nos impressions détaillées sur bit.ly/1OehFQX
ZenzDeluxe tell him not to bother, the car is massively overhyped. If I were to do it again I’d consider a mapped R or A45 AMG over an RS. Or if he can stomach the look of it the FK8; if it drives as well as the FK2 it should be a superb car, the FK2 was the best I drove in terms of driver engagement but the ride was cripplingly hard. Huge boot, fantastic gearbox and engine in it, and old school turbo power delivery means it feels faster and is great fun on the road. In The ride is hopelessly firm with the shell seats to the point of pain on long journeys. Boot space is ridiculously small and the build quality is shite. Exhaust flap started to stick after 5 months meaning you couldn’t change drive modes, exhaust noise is disappointing and repeatedly farts and pops to the driver’s embarrassment. Seats and door cards are alright but dash switchgear looks cheap. Oh and the car’s “EPAS” system tries to kill you repeatedly when you drive in straight lines at high speed... Customer service is hopeless too, it took over a year for Ford to acknowledge the HG problem which meant the engine was potentially a ticking time bomb. Dealers struggled just to perform a stereo upgrade 🙄 No confidence in them, I would never buy new from Ford again. I also have an old Puma that I track and that’s a terrifically fun car but again some crap design features like - no drain plug for gearbox oil 🙄 After selling mine I tried a few of the German super saloons as I came from 11 years of Impreza ownership, and then an e92 M3. Ended up in a 5 year old C63 AMG, same monthly repayment and price as the RS, but wow what a car!
@@ZenzDeluxe True, because they know this is the level of performance they will never be able to attain with an R. Maybe faster in a straight with the DSG box and that is about it.
And people compare A45, RS3 or anything like that to this Masterpiece by Ford. This is a MT!! This is a real sports car!! My dream, too bad in my country they don't sell it...
LoL, the RS focus is a joke. Over weight, under powered, because overboost isn't its real hp power, it's 324 hp. And Ford is to chicken shit to test the RS on tne Ring or anyother track. The new Civic Type R will rape a Focus RS on any track. And ,based on tne latest testing, tne Civic blows the doors off a RS above 70 mph. And handles way better than any Ford except the Ford GT supercar and GT350-R... Don't waste your $$ on a Focus RS.
blitzwing1 RS3 is neutral not "insane understeer"... If it was that understeer then it would not be faster on track then this shitty plastic Ford... RS3 have much better engine also.
Elle me fait envie cette petite focus ! Une tuerie ils ont plus que bien gérer le son moteur on dirait un 5 cylindres un sacrer boulot de fait la dessus
wow this car looks auperfun to drive. great driving ! im suprised about how much grip you still have in drifting. my car didnt give me that comeback after drifting on the ring.
The car is always playful and rear-biased in any mode except for track mode. But yes, in drift mode with all traction control off he would be going even more sideways.
Salut ce message est adressé au pilote de la video. Dit moi toi qui à conduit la 308 gti et celle-ci, si tu devais faire une comparaison entre c'est deux voitures laquelle préfère tu et pourquoi ? J'espère que tu lira ce message et que tu y répondra merci d'avance et bravo pour le pilotage
bravo au pilote ça m'a convaincu d'en acheter une ! ah...attendez on me dit que cela fait déjà 1 mois que j'ai signé le contrat et que je l'attends déjà en fait ^^ je me réjouis !
J'étais curieux de revenir voir cette vidéo pour vérifier s'il pilotait avec l'ESP complètement déconnecté, et manifestement non. Effectivement, ESP complètement déconnecté (et pas juste en mode sport) ça devient vraiment vraiment délicat, et j'en ai fait les frais avec la mienne...
At 6:18 - what's the error message that pops up (english translation please)? And I note he has the traction control reduced or off (yellow warning light on the speedo). Brave driving!
May I ask you, where and how did you attach the camera in that position ? Sunroof and suction mount? If you don't have the sunroof I would be very interested in the mounting-techniqe
