as a Subaru owner i’m going to pick Ford focus RS as my top pick..! but all you Focus RS owners would never feel what a box shape Subaru FORESTER STI (SG9) could do on track..! and that is what i’m upgrading myself to..!
This is totally a paid advert from Ford. They even commented on the video in youtube…
Or…they have an active social media team or possibly (this might be hard to believe) the Ford actually is the best?
The thing is though is that all the journalists keep banging on about how “cheap” the RS is but in the real world when people finance their cars, it’s exactly the same as an A45 and RS3. That’s with a £3000 deposit and all the options I want they all come out between £500 -£520 a month 👍🏻 I know which one I would rather have when you put he figures like that.
I prefer the subaru.
But no Evo
No chance against the a 45
Why do you think so? According to some tests, it’s not that perfect. In fact, Golf R managed to beat it.
Oh people keep saying new cars are soulless and the old ones are much better. The STI steel keep this feeling, yeah, it have a proper turbo engine, with lag (a turbo car without lag is just a more efficient aspirated, trust me, lag make turbo cars much more fun) and power with bad MPG, like the old time when turbo wasn’t in name of ecology. It rides stiff like a sport car should without poser ajustble suspension. It also have one of the best sound engine there. The only boxer on the line. And at the end it have the best heritage, thanks Colin for what you made for subaru. To me the clear winner is the Subbie
They must have left the speed3 out due to making the RS it’s bitchhhhh
That focus rs won because it’s the funniest car to drive. If we talk about quality and estetics i think the a45 AMG is the clear winner here. ;)
