I hate this about the Focus RS... 

Props on turning an 12 second video into a 12 min video 🤣🤣 For u-turns, drift mode and hand brake! Tightest turning radius you've ever experienced.

purchases a very nice car Proceeds to put cheap Amazon parts and stickers on it...

Honestly I do not even think about the turning radius anymore. I have driven my 17 for more than 4.5 years. What does bother me is how quickly the rear glass and hatch area gets dirty and dusty. I could clean the rear of the vehicle every day and I only drive in the city. But really, I love this car. I have surprised more that one Mustang at a stop light.

I own 2017 Focus RS. Ford limited the turning radius more than the base Focus due to the wider tires, otherwise they would contact suspension/fender. Most AWD cars have similar turning radius to include STI. The worst turning radius is Evo8. I hated doing u turns when I owned the car.

I dislike having to wait eight minutes for the point of the video. I skipped to what I wanted then downvoted due to click bait tactics.

The RS is not your typical everyday driver it is a performance car, It's meant to be that way for handling purposes it's not made to make u-turns in the middle of the street this car is meant to do the twisties and on a track it's not made to turn around and go back it's made to go forward, if you're too stressed out don't drive it , it really isn't that big of a deal dude. MAYBE YOU SHOULD STICK TO A TOYOTA COROLLA THEY GET A BETTER TURNING RADIUS

The 4S is the better tire than the Super Sport in almost every way, save maaaaybe steering feedback at the very limit of grip. Neither is as good on a dry track as the Cup2. You should probably consider looking at better sources for tire information. The RS's turning radius isn't that bad, especially compared to similar vehicles. If you look at the actual data you' should see what I mean. You're probably just used to variable steering ratio vehicles, like mini vans, that apply more angle (and often reduced input effort) to the wheels at lower speeds, and less at higher speeds. The RS's steering ratio is fixed, which is great for performance driving, but not great for cruising parking lots/garages. It will take more effort to turn the wheel, and more turning of the steering wheel, to make a tight, low speed, turn than you're use to if you've never driven a vehicle with fixed ratio steering before. You should try turning the steering wheel more than you think is nessasry, initaly. Eventually you will retrain your brain, and be more comfortable and confident. Look at the turning radius of other vehicles, paying attention to whether they drive the front wheels and their length. Then the size of their wheel and tire. Consider the level of performance they're expected to deliver as well. You should see that the RS's is pretty much in line with others, and that it would be hard to fairly say it has a bad turning radius. For example, the shorter Golf R's turning radius is 17.9' (17' 10.8") and the longer Civic Type R's is 19.75' (19' 9") and the RS's sits between them in length and turning radius at 18.7' (18' 8.4")

Don’t need a good turning radius when you have drift mode...

All focus rs, mk1, mk2 and mk3 have a poor turning circle due to having a quick rack (short ratio) rack which vastly improves high speed manoeuvres on track and b roads. The improvement on fast road/track steering far outweighs the bad turning radius.

I bought an RS a few months ago & one thing I'd like to mention is how low it sits in the front... You really have to be careful on where you're going & how steep the driveways are in shopping centers. It also seems like a magnet for people to park next to me when I park way-out away from everyone.

How can it be that much of a stress? I drive one in the UK where the roads are not that wide. Yes, the Focus doesn't have a great turning circle but it's not been a problem for me or any other owner I know. And I thought the roads were far bigger and wider in the US

Just go in drift mode if you wanna made a u-turn LUL

Interesting, it does have a wide turning radius but I'm use to it. I focus on other issues....other 4 bangers challenging me on the green light. Smoke'm!

I have a 2019 civic type r. Apparently it has a larger turning radius so I’m not sure why you think it’s so bad. I have no issues doing u turns. I always turn wide so I don’t curb my wheels

I had a lifted crew cab truck before buying my rs. I thought the rs turning radius was great!

For the turning radious Im getting used to opening wide for certain parking or when taking specific turns

Yeah the turning radius is shocking i remember the first time i was parking I honestly thought something was wrong

I'm looking at buying one for a commuter I drive a two lane canyon daily lots of turns lots of hair pins and I drive fast at high rpms will this car Handel the abuse

Nothing is perfect. The wide turning radius is one small negative compared to a whole lot of positive.

You could remove that Focus badge on the trunk lid. Looks way better for some reason.

Actually monster trucks have a really good turn radius because the back wheels turn aswell lol

Here are some turning radius numbers: 22 Golf R 17.9-19.6 ft 22 Civic 18.05-19.05 ft 22 Veloster 19ft 17 Focus RS 18.7ft So…….. is there something wrong with your car? Now I’m curious.

Looks sick! I agree with the front windows tint...a must have as it just completes the stealthy look

I’ve a 2018 RS. I absolutely love it but yeah, the turning radius is frustratingly poor

Very good quality on the video and nice little modifications👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I got both Focus RS and Golf R, the turning radius for RS is really worst, whereas R is acceptable. Golf R is more a daily to me but RS is more fun.

Shout-out for filming in 2160p

I have a 2017 focus The steering is like this to make the car handle way more better and responsive around B roads and track! If you want a car that turns good get a Toyota! It’s a sports car not a city cruiser

Turning radius does suck. My solution just recognize it and drive accordingly.

gear nob was the first thing i bought for mine too ..nice .. and yes turning circle dreadful

it's AWD, all awd cars turning radius is piss. I sold my RS of 2 years for my 03 evo 8 enjoy it while it lasts!

Maybe a few more “likes” would help this review. Who the f cares about turning radius. Pretty sure a Prius turns sharper

I just have one question that I think you didn't mention at all..... Is it enough power for you though? Lol Good vid!

Nice Focus RS man! The turning radius really is wide yes 😂

350 hp is never enough

I actually love the RS stock wheels

It’s amazing for the track what the car was built for.....

LETSSS GOOOO!!! :)

In my RS every time I go to make U turns I rarely have problems. I don't know what you guys are talking about. If you have to make two turns, so what......

You should buy a different car old mate.

Good video. BUT 6 mins in, he finally mentions THE ONE THING. Lol

Ive never avoided any drive throughs. No problems for me. Sounds like you need a different car.

That's what drift mode is for?

Link for shift ball please!

My ST wheel turns a bit less, but same radius. Its horrendous

Most 4wd cars do have bad turning radius in terms of making a u-turn. If someone would say differently, yeah sure... 🙂

Worst focus rs review I've ever watched. The car is excellent and an absolute joy to drive. Turning radius is completely manageable and has no effect on driveability what so ever. Also don't put a spoiler extension on 🤮

Wasn't too bad if you compare with EVO ! :P

Sounds like a driver error...wide turning radius is overcome by carrying additional speed and pulling the handbrake while turning...corners on a dime.

If you have no plans for the RS, why even make a channel for the car, smh

This car has supercars level handling but if only they didnt turbo it cause its engine wont last long especially after that headgasket recall

I have an '18, don't know if they're diff.

Am still buying one lol 😂😂😂😂

😅 don't ever have kids if you stress this easily.

I used to carry a little speed into u-turns in my ST, rip the e-brake halfway through then accelerate out of the slide on the other end. 🤣🤣. I just put the RS in drift mode and goose it Just kidding. I swing wide in intersections in the RS. I only slid the ST once or twice. It worked pretty good though lol.

You hate it’s overpriced?

Bro sell your car and buy a car that suits your wants🤷🏻‍♂️ easy as that "for the views"

Thanks man. Big bummer, was looking to buy this one, now I might go get myself a Volkswagen hatchback. I can't imagine how stressed one might get on tight spots with this car.

LMAO. If you think you have a problem, try driving it in Europe!

made whole video about turning radius like just learn how to do 3 pt turns

What u should hate is the whole car 😂🤣 can’t believe people be driving girls cars nowadays

Get rid of the tow hook

Seriously! Try to drive a 3 tone Van, then you will have no problems with the RS. LOL

Super video👍

Just adding to previous comments. Too long for too little. If you bought it not knowing about the turning radius the word that springs to mind is 'PLONKER' Wish I could unsubscribe.

And is that it 😂

Sell it.

ride too hard!

😂😂😂😂
