I just hate the cold start up’s, or when I’m visiting someone and leaving 2am in the morning it’s a bit embarrassing. The they do sound spectacular, and I bet the new Gens ain’t as enjoyable to drive with their lawn mowing sounding engines lol jk (kinda)
I'm not too excited about the looks, but I'm so glad these cars exist for the sound alone, as I'm far more likely to hear a Focus ST than an Audi Quattro S1.
That engine is the original Audi Quattro format that Volvo bought from Volkswagen group after they seized to use it. Volvo made some subtle changes, but Audi at the core
My god the MK2 looks and sound better and in terms of modifying you didn't need to do anything for exterior but for the MK3 what were they thinking the exterior looks so generic and it sounds like a peashooter compared to the MK2, I'm saving up for MK2 RS
yeah they are, i bought a 2005 st last week. just check for rust in the arches where the side skirt meets as they tend to rust. Check the oil filter housing as they crack. Check the oil cap for a mayo like substance as these cars can have cracked cylinder liners which is a new engine job but only really happens to cars that are pushing over 300 bhp without a block mod. Also the clutches are inferior so check for slippage
The headline says it it a Focus engine, not a Ford one so the headline is not misleading. Button it with the smart arse comments as you are only Ford haters rather than Volvo fans. If someone uploaded a clip of an F1 car 'soundtrack' would you make a point of saying it's a Merc/Renault/Honda engine to try and sound clever?
I think as you, Benjamin, all clean cars, bright paint, exhaust but no real view of power excess...take a 2.3 Volvo 5 cil. engine and put in it at least 600HP, in video not smoking tires neither in firts gear!!! Regards from Spain.
They are quick stock wise mk2 RS 0-60 5.7 secs and the mk3 RS 4.6 secs but the debate being that the mk2 looks far better and has a great noise whereas the mk3 is really quick but the styling is less to be desired
@@danotonic Agreed I see the MK3 and to me it looks plain it looks to similar to the ST but when you see an MK2 RS everyone knows straightaway and it makes you smile, I'm saving up for the MK2
Standing starts are more difficult due to drive train when compared to the awd Mk3.. but roll on performance is excellent. Some Mk2 RS have been mapped and modified to extraordinary numbers! For me, it’s all about the occasion..the looks and the noise.
@@woooster71 someone tuned a mk2 rs to over a 1000hp!! There a devil development turned mk2 rs with 900hp on meth or 800+hp without The mk3 cant get anywhere near these numbers lol
that new RS is faster, but those last gen turbo 5s sure sound spectacular...

My ST got stolen, but it had a straight through piper de cat exhaust and it sounded like a lambo at high rpm it was amazing.
2:07 MK3 sounds like a trumpet!
That's just what i though lol . sound like deep shit :)
0:06 the wheels R lagging LOL
yeah i see it
What a awesome sounding engine almost sounds like a v10
I might save up for one of those because of the sound by itself. It’d be the closest I’d get to a V10 car unless I somehow get a job in NASCAR
best RS generation ever
the best of RS !!!
The RS... my absolut dream car...
2:28 lol can you feel it
I love my ST
I'm not too excited about the looks, but I'm so glad these cars exist for the sound alone, as I'm far more likely to hear a Focus ST than an Audi Quattro S1.
Muito bom adorei
Those 5 cylinder volvo engines sound sweet.
Pratt
If i ever move to England this will be my first car
my dream hothat ! the best 5cyl sound !
Nadsenec hothat:D
a ? its ok hothat { hothatch}
Sounds like a tame v10
slickmastajay I mean it’s half of a V10, so naturally it’ll have some characteristics of a v10 in sound
Love that Volvo sound!!! 💪🏻✌🏻
Patrick Madden Sadly no one knows it’a a Volvo engine 😔😔
5 cylinder is the best sounding engine of all time
V8 a close second
Ford 5 cylinder is a sexual sound 👌👌👌 bueatiful ❤️
Of COURSE we don't get the 5cyl in the US. That would just be too frigg'n awesome for us Yankees to handle.
You got volvos with the same engine in the US
@@mac4thewin - Volvos... I'll pass.
@@PaleHorse68 the focus st /rs share the same floor pan as a volvo hatch back so pretty much same car underneath
@@mac4thewin - oh, I'm not arguing you. I know you're 100% right. But, I just don't like the look of Volvos. That's all.
There’s a looooooot of cars in the us that we don’t get in Europe,so it goes both ways,but hey you could import one i guess
my rs 25, this guy have a nice car
Este sí se oye muy chingon ya que el.nuevo Focus RS que ni corre, le ponen escape directo y se oye cómo pinche combi
ROY M V El nuevo RS es mas rapido que este modelo. En un arracon los deja atras porque es AWD.
5cyl 😍
2:54 is that the wastegate or TCV or blow off valve? Im trying to get that noise on my 2008 Volvo C30 T5.
HKS Super Sequential blow off valve
Sounds like a collins dump valve
It sounds shit 😕
in my humble opinion is the HYDA engine the best engine from Ford Europe
Braaapppp brappppppppoo tshhhhhhhhhh
Volvo powwaaah
Salut from Romania.. I`m a big fan of Ford Focus ST mk 2
2:05 not as good as the 5 cylinder
One of them was one of them FAKERS in a z-tec who slap st stickers on
Sounds like a lamborghi and a subaru boxer had a kid.

I call BS.
I can't heard any turbo.
Makes no sense to me how manufacturers fuck up consistently each following generation of models
Fair enough budget and regulations but a masterpiece has a better impact
Engine VOLVO
In a couple years its import time
Ill sell you mine 🇬🇧

Did you end up getting one?
It's official I'm buying an ST but is it reliable tho'?

Why they sound like exotic cars over there?wtf
Quietest focus cars ive ever heard
1.19 not a good place to be biking mate 😬
How the fuck are the cylinders arranged like a pentagon pointing straight up?
Chuco Chicano in-line 5?
Very slow buckets
Volvo's with Ford logo Sound Compilation*
Kenniboy 44 exactly, i love the Focus RS. But its a true Volvo engine. I drive these engines for 15 years now in my Volvo's. Great engines !
You do realize it was tuned by ford right?
John Herbold tuned by ford? Of course. A 2.5 liter 5cyl turbo in a s60R will not be tuned by Ford... but by Volvo... obvious
"yay look at me i know its a volvo engine im so smart yeeeeeee'
as if that would make it a bad thing?
See these everywhere in England. Kind of bored of them.
Hoax Might be bored but damn that only mean they are just popular if everybody could a fford a lambo you would just see those cars all the time so ...
Why are you watching this video then
You see ‘these’ everywhere..really, where? Very rarely do I see a Mk2 RS, especially in winter..
Sound Porsche is bad. Focus the best!
Porsche is better
All show, no go.
Ben Benjamin you would be suprised of the 5 cylinders it has
Exoticks nope, I really wouldn't.
Ben Benjamin sorry moody arse
Ben Benjamin clearly you know nothing
