Otis Nice Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Never said there is a YUGE difference, but there is a difference, fake news, watch fox and friends....

unfunnyryan Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Anyone notice it has a full tank of gas and says distance to empty is 213 miles? Holy gas station fill-ups batman Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 14 gallon tank 213/14 = 15.2. Car is rated 19mpg city, so 15.2mpg isn't too bad. It's not WOT all day err day.

Zx2guy19 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Are Focus ST's becoming the new SRT4? I was considering one but don't want to be a bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Are Focus ST's becoming the new SRT4? I was considering one but don't want to be a bro. God I hope not since I've been considering one. Might have to actually listen to Kerry and go with a GTI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTI and simple tune and you'll love it. Nicer interior and overall look IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I want to dispute that statements (ST is the new SRT-4), but the similarities are difficult to ignore. Miatas, FRS/BRZ's...any modern RWD stick Japanese cars are the new "hot rods" for the Gen-Y and Millennials. FWD turbo rockets outside of VW are definitely the preferred chariots of the Monster-drinking flatbills. Subaru's straddle the gap between both sides.

wagner Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Are Focus ST's becoming the new SRT4? I was considering one but don't want to be a bro. No, the Dart is the new SRT4.... Pretty much every performance car has their own version of the SRT4 bro. Go to any meet and you'll see badly modified imports and domestics that are "bro rated" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versluis Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 God I hope not since I've been considering one. Might have to actually listen to Kerry and go with a GTI... Go test drive the GTI. Do APR stage 1, better tires and a nice suspension and that thing will be a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Are Focus ST's becoming the new SRT4? I was considering one but don't want to be a bro. Similar target audience I suppose, but SRT4s were $20k and the RS is $40k. Maybe they're banking on the guys who bought an SRT4 new to have a better paying job 13 years later and still have the same maturity level?

Maybe they're banking on the guys who bought an SRT4 new to have a better paying job 13 years later and still have the same maturity level? ST's can be had for $20k. The stock turbos are pretty nearly maxed out from the factory. It's funny looking through the forums and seeing people be all "can I make 350whp with bolt-ons and a turn??" No. You can't. It's a decent daily, that's about it. I feel it's probably similar for the RS as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a truck with a BIG motor (505) and I average 15mpg...isn't this a turbo 4-banger...guess it is WOT all day er'y day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdhill Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 The RS does not have the OG wheels and tires only snows...oil pressure gauge was not working. It does not feel quick...lots of top end. not much torque. Handling and brakes and gearbox are very nice. I was not impressed with the power.
