the last GREAT Ford RS Car? 

Mk2 RS is the one. Had all three, ended up with the Mk2 and it’s going nowhere 👌🏻

The Focus Mk2 RS was the Sierra 3dr and the Focus Mk3 RS was the Saph. Different vibes but as a daily the Mk3 is a good car. Any true Ford RS fan appreciates all variants.

Was passenger in one a few weeks ago, full noise up a mountain road with a guy that possesses rare ability behind the wheel, I was honestly shook! Was the most unbelievable experience I've had, none of this "off the line" crap, absolutely on it around corners at speeds I'd not believed possible.

Legend of a car brought to us by a legendary youtuber, well done Jamie

Never ever had a ford before getting my mk2 focus rs lv in ultimate green (modified by the ford dealer here in Australia from almost new) fell in love, and can never sell it. It is a true drivers car, the connection between road and driver is unlike anything else. Never thought that I could fall in love with a ford, but it has happened. Those that know, know. Car focused is not wrong!

The 5 things I Love 1. ENGINE - 2.5 5 Cylinder Turbocharged Engine 2. POWER -The way the power is delivered to the front wheel drive 3. LOOKS - The looks of the car, especially in real life 4. RESIDUAL VALUE - How they hold their value 5. FEEL - The feeling when driving it 6. SPECIAL KITS - RECARO SEATS, THE BODYKIT (Big Wide Arches, Wings, Diffuser), THE OPENING OF THE FRONT BONET USING A KEY PS: I own one in ULTIMATE GREEN - in MALAYSIA

I would have the MK2 Focus RS over the MK3 version all day long. Always hankered after a green MK2 😍

Well done bro 😎, this is the content you was known for, keep up the good content and the channel will grow as it did before ❤

It’s all about that glorious 5 pot and the whacky styling. I love mine. It’s an event every time I drive it.

I’ve got a mk2 rs in ultimate green and wow what a car,it’s the same as the one you are in as in totally standard and every time I drive it it gets a lot of attention,so sad that cars like this are never to be repeated,I’ll never sell it as I love it

I had this in a Lux 2 version. Still regret swapping it for my MK3 in a way. That standard MK2 engine was a beast. It’s just the MK3 has obviously the better handling and spec.

Always preferred, the mk2 RS to the mk3 RS, more aggressive styling, the Mk3 styling was too watered down for customers outside European market

I had a mk3 and went back to the mk2 .. mk2 for me all day long

Iv got to say i do miss the sound of that lovely 5 pot...i like many others have gone down the route of big exhaust and other bits.

My Dream Car, OML this thing is beautiful!

Absolutely love these cars finally getting my hands on one in a week's time❤

Lovely video, and what is crazy is their value is going up so much. This also one of the greatest cars Ford has ever built. It also makes me proud of owning a Focus MK2.

I had one new for five years, same car same spec! Brilliant car.

All three Focus rs's were and still are fantastic cars. I've owned all three and they got better and better. I now own the mk 3 RS and have done for years now. It is imo by far the best Focus RS that Ford produced. It's a keeper for me, i would not dream of going back to a mk 2 RS because it would be exactly that going backwards

I always liked the MK1 RS, but the MK2 is more sought after. Better investment potential 👌

Everytime I think of a RS I think of this car it's lush

Mk3 is a better car, but the mk2 in my opinion is a better rs.

Great video Jamie. People that have the keys to these Mk2 Rs, imo need to keep these monsters ( if they can). Never will we ever see a car, as good as these Rs’s.

Love this... just an aggressive looking performance hatch. 5 pot manual! 🔥

I certainly prefer the MK2 over the MK3 so much I put it on my car wish list.

Id say that accurately sums it up, very good video Love mine would never let it go

If you love the RS, the mk2 is the one to get…they are awsome, best hot hatch ever made

What a great car. As you said, possibly the last of a great brand. 👍🏻

This RS has got me hook line and sinker owned mine from new 09 plate.. had a good few cars in my time including a mk2 rs2000 loved that thing...but this ones going nowhere 👍

Iv had 2, had my second 1 now for nearly 7 years FW 24k miles full spec car, it is tuned its an addiction to drive it, sabre tuned 510bhp iv thought of selling then drive it not a sniff

The 5 cylinder engine soubds amazing, like the old Audi Quattro cars. I don't like the sound of the mk 3 4 cylinder.

100% bang on what you say👍 I had the mk2 in ST form and I’ve had the mk3 ST and currently own mk4 ST and it saddens me this is the end of all of these fantastic machines in my opinion the RS versions are the pinnacle of ford motor sport (just a bit to much out of my reach) we’ve got nothing to look forward to other than electric rubbish😢

Yes bar the green I love them but for me the mk1 focus rs is the one! Pre s1,s2

My favorite RS Focus and the best colour 😎

I think the only thing it lacks is four wheel drive to really hark back to its rally roots. I think the mk 3 is as close to an escort cossie as you can.

maybe there still going to make a better one with that 2,5L hood was just marvellous, love it to bits, ask my wife...!

nice cars shame about the bad image easily the most chav boosted rs ever made some rear modded rotters out there with dreadful body kits etc ……..

The original MK1 RS focus is the goat

Yep, the mk2 focus RS was the last of proper RS’s to be produced and I doubt there will be anymore like this simply because the world has gone mad, manufacturers have gone mad and are no longer listening to what the customer wants with all this EV and SUV bollocks. The world is a mess with thinking too much into going green when there’s far more serious things to worry about and hot hatches are a thing of the past now in my opinion sadly with the all the crap basic models manufacturers seem to be producing and all looking the same and our roads looking so dull with them all, compared to the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. So now would be a great time to get one and keep hold of it. I’ve had 2 mk2 RS’s and 1 Mk3, the mk3 was fast and very capable but I felt far too safe and bored with it after a while so I sold it. No doubt I’ll be getting my 3rd Mk2 RS soon. Great unreal cars that I never seem to get bored of.

What a beautiful sounding car !! You should buy this 🤦🏻‍♂️ would be a great addition to the S1 !

There very sought-after one for sale near me 2010 ,mint ,53 thousand quid

The inline Volvo 5 pot is pure sound!

Ford focus mk2 RS & ST have the BEST 5pot engine sound in . . The World 👌🏻😜

I haven't gotten a notification in years. Why? I thought this channel stopped making content after i forgot the name.

The mk2 is the legend

Mines still got original tyres and exhaust

Stock RS, besides the green. Amazing

The mk2 focus rs is the best hot hatch ever made imo.

It definitely is!

Deffo the last great Rs Possibly the greatest ever Rs

Really nice car ... The very last real RS Ford IMO. This car is a "Keeper" ..Nice colour also. Very respectful 163 MPH top speed. I Love this car. EDIT.... You will never see another Ford go on sale as good as this again. This was indeed the VERY last real Ford "Hot Hatch"

My only gripe with the Mk2 and it’s not really so much about that car itself, is the ST was too similar. It ran a turbo 5 pot like the RS which diluted the uniqueness of the RS engines character. A few mods also bought it up to very near RS levels of performance too. The Mk 1 was a true stand alone car in that nothing in the lesser models was even close to the RS model. Maybe for me that’s the last proper RS in that respect but I do love the Mk2s looks and sound. It’s a tough call. The Mk3 was a dud and doesn’t get a look in. That 2.3 sounded vile and they never impressed me at all. It’s a perfectly good car but it’s also far too clinical and void of character.

A very nice video Jamie, thank you.

Love a mk2 rs-st most beautiful sound ever.. styling is awesome too.. the power gains are just crazy.. the mk3 not for me.. I still think there will be another RS soon

The engine sound is epic, albeit underpowered by today's standards. No other RS handles or grips as well as a Mk3. I like both, but Mk3 is superior. People going to hate, but it's true.

For me the mk2 is the best rs. But I do love the dash in a mk3 tho.

4 cylinder turbo engines are just great, and I'm a c20let lover!

Great car but also like the mk3 4x4 one

Looks stunning

Am not a Ford fan but these do tickle my pickle

The Mk3 RS is 100% the better car, the 4wd system and the overall handling with the performance leaves most cars for dust on b roads. Plus the RS badge was worn by the saph cossie, a beast of a 4 door car! The mk2 is a great car but last great rs is a strong statement. I’m a fan of all RS cars!

Wish i could drive manual but due to having scoliosis i can only drive Automatic

Mk3 is a better daily, mk2 is the best sounding but I love a mk1 personally

I just think it's wrong that the UK got the focus Mark II RS and the US didn't get anything

I totally agree 💯

My dream car since I went to the launch in 2009- I am 37 now and saving to get one In time for my 40th 🙏 this one would be perfect how much? 30k+?

Just like the vxr/gsi brand. Times have changed, agreed there awesome! But I would prefer a well sorted volvo t5 were they belong! Spanking engines.

So the best last RS has a Volvo derived block? That has always made me chuckle. Lovely looking cars I have to admit.

Totaly agree mk2 is the last true RS feeling and looking anyway, mk3 just wasn’t wide or wild enough looking plus in my experience the engines are chocolate with out forging, stage 2 is a ticking time bomb pistons will brake up like a digestive biscuit then rods through the block and fingers crossed they don’t smash through the transfer box 😖💷💷💷💷

5 pot all day every day till I die x

Compare the mk2 and mk3 flat out in the wet.....mk3 all day long! Mk2 is fantastic, but are now all 2nd car garage queens.

Mk2 is quickest from 30 to 70 tho not much in it plus Mk2 is the last great rs and commands most money

If it was 4 wheel drive then possibly??

I mean there was only one RS after it so

Best car

I need to be really honest when this first came out I really didn’t like green at all. I have had a complete 360 degree opinion change and believe this is the ultimate RS. You know as soon as you see this car in the flesh, what it is, what it represents and what it can do.

Best car iv ever owned each to there own but they are absolutely shite standard looks and drive is atrocious 400+ is how they should have came with a proper suspension set up took 20k to get mine to feel like a proper car instant power it's like towing a bus standard. Fun fact your head can actually fit in the standard suspension arch gap

Mk3 rs sounds like an empty ketchup bottle! All the Vag models aswell golf GTi/R Audi s3! All shit 🤮😂

Its hard to see the future direction of ford. No RS, no fiesta, and lots of customers changing brand due to 1.0 ecoboosts failing, combined with powershift being made of chocolate.. Do always love these mk2s but with prices as they are i will stick to my mk7.5 ST

MK3 is miles better, the MK2 is a parts bin car in dress up.

They're fantastic, my son has a white one, but they're not the last Rs.... I have a mk3 both very different cars, But both RS's wether people like it or not....... Unfortunately too many haters within the so called "car enthusiasts" community

Sound doesn’t make a car better and that’s mostly all people brag on about with the Mk2. The Mk3 is an all round better car. And its shape more truer to what the upgrade from the mk1 should have been, imho. Also the Mk2 RS should have had 4wd.

RS🔥🖐😁👍💥🚀🥇🏆

Don't be silly, the mk3 RS is a far better car in every way bar the engine

Last good ford absolutely. The new st’s are laughable

Thanks to Volvo this will always be the best rs

You like to be the firestarter arent you?How you dare to bring the war into RS family?MK3 IS THE ONLY RS AFTER COSSIE ALL THE OTHER ARE JUST FORDS ,💫💥💦💨💔🦴💀💀💀💀🫵⚡🌨️🌪️
