Yeah, sure they are buddy.Because a boosted Volvo T5 with 345 BHP, 6 Speed Manual, and Quaife LSD in a hatchback is boring, right?
why did the Volvo T5 only have 230 HP?
lookin at 2017 rs (US) 30k mileage for $30k. yes or no?
>>28733902>He doesn't know about cylinder liner cracking.ngmi
>>28733954>f*rdno.>ten year old econobox>$30kno.>b-b-but its the sport trim! Its a h-h-h-hot hatch! N-not an econobox! *crying and pissing*still no.
Bong Fords are goodAmerican Fords are badsimple as
>>28733961You are simple, yes.
>>28733961If you a hard on for front wheel drive and understeer, yes.
the Volvo C30 T5 was build in Belgium, where was the Ford fabricated UK?
>>28733970Reichsprotektorat Böhmen und Mähren.
>>28733977at the Skoda factory Brudi?
Don't listen to the dipshits on this board about literally anything.90% of the userbase is simcade incels and bumpkins.
>>28733968They don't understeer at all. They are completely neutral, if not bordering on loose on normal roads, actually.
>>28733902RS were always great. I'll fight anyone who says different.
UK & Aussie Fords, best Fords.Some people are mad that a generalist car manufacturer can achieve success and performance.
>>28734014Why did you guys stop buying them and switch to mustangs instead. Non of the fanboys of theses cars ever actually owns them.
>>28734014Why did Ford never make a proper homologation of the rally car and decide to shit on its consumer base by releasing a Focus with a bodykit for a decade, then decide to release something AWD and turbo too late?
>>28734027>why didn't they spend extra money and risk for no reason when the FIA says they don't have tohuh
>>28734027Europeans love front wheel drive anyway so why spend the extra money making something actually good.
>>28734018Mustangs are not as plentiful in Europe and they stopped selling the Focus worldwide because morons only buy SUVs and CUVs to try to feel superior and safe.The RS got too pricey, same for the ST.
>>28733951They put a ~300hp one in the S60R.It's bored out too much, makes too much boost and has a habit of cracking cylinder walls. The ones they put in the Focus seem to have less issues with this... >>28733956...or maybe not
>>28733902>Because a boosted Volvo T5 with 345 BHP,I had the 200 hp version of that engine in my s60 2.5T AWD model years agoit was a nice engine, if a bit peaky and laggyI would assume the lag in a 345 hp version would be epic nowadays they could add a little hybrid battery to counteract that - the problem is when they try to fit YUGE batteries to cars and it ruins them (see: mercedes c-class amg, bmw m5)
>>28733954Literally Corvette money. You'd be stupid to pay that much for what is effectively a FWD shitbox, and I say this as someone who loves a good FWD shitbox.
>>28734327i need snow car that doesn't require chains what else is in the same price bracket with a manual tranny
>>28734430Then buy ST.
>>28733902Gen 3 coyote is a beast
k
>>28733902>faggot wheel drive
>>28734327Apparently the Pums is the best selling Euro Ford. I've never seen one.I think I saw a new Capri once.They binned the Focus last week because Ford doesn't want to sell cars.Go figure
>>287344302022-24 WRX for low-mid $20s or Golf R/S3RS isn't a bad car but its not a good car either, has a weird off center seating position and breaks when you mod it. Can't take more than a intake/exhaust and will rust out in the snow anyways like every Focus from that era.
>>28733956They also had a problem with the head gasket from the factory which meant a recall.Provided you don't blow the engine up like that though, the rest of the other problems they had were generally fairly simple like sensors failing, the usual Ford Goblin electronics being fucking annoying but they're not hard to fix. This is sort of countered by the fact you will be fixing them, out of warranty and with whatever you can get.Honestly though they go really fucking well and they have so much grip if you stick good tyres on them, handling is generally great and much better sorted out than their front wheel drive ones. The AWD is a real monster
>>28734027They literally did with the first gen RS retard.
>>28733954They're too expensive for what they are. They're solid and well made cars with a decent engine that can take boost despite what retards will say here but they're not better than a WRX or S3/RS3. They are better than the Golf R but only marginally. Keep in mind its still a electronically controlled AWD system vs something mechanical like on the Subaru and its not as good as the quattro system thats on the RS3.
>>28733958Hello child. I can tell by ur posting style that u r retarded. *pisses in your eyes until you go blind*
>>28737718>little parrot being this insecureBig oof
>>28733902How's the 2nd generation Ford Ka in terms of reliability and repairs? I'm on a tight budget and I really like this car from what I've seen so far, but I can't have something break on me every few months and costing me tons in repairs, not again.
>>28737721>Apparently the Pums is the best selling Euro Ford. I've never seen one.the Puma is a rare car, marketed to young females. can't believe it's their best selling car.
>>28733902queef lsd lmao
>>287379505cylinder St/Rs MK2's where only FWD though. AWD was in MK3 2.3 Ecoboost one.
>>28733954If it's truthly in great condition it's not a bad price in the market but for me this car is simply NOT worth that kind of money so i'd personally say NO
I will never buy a Ford. They're all utter dog shit.
>>28734027XR5 turbo was a thing for ages, long before the RS
>>28734430People drive ZR1's in the winter here... It's called winter tires.
>>28733954As a Focus owner. No. Get an ST instead. Cheaper and arguably much more fun to drive and reliable. The RS blows gaskets all the time.
>3500lb and FWDno thanks
>>28734027They did have a concept in 1999. AWD, 300hp turbo.
