During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. This gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without seeing it in person. Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect. I treat every vehicle with the same respect regardless of the year and pricepoint. I film all types of vehicles from the past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of CZcams! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
4:03 no automatic offered.... damn, Ford was making good decisions back then
@Bo Iseley why tho
Whoever is reading this, I hope you have an amazing day! 😊
Thanks! I hope your's will be just as good! :)
Cameron M no u
Thanks!
I could actually see myself buying this. Thanks for the great video as always Kyle!
Every time I look to buy a car, I always put the make and model of the car, followed by your name. You really provide a great insight into why or why I shouldn't buy the car, and I must say that I am sold on this one! It may take me a little while longer than I hoped, but I'm aiming for one of these! Thank you Kyle!
Dude, I love your videos. I can watch your reviews all day and leave with five days worth of knowledge! Love it!
Wow. Im only 2.30 into this video and I love the style of this review. I particularly like the way you highlight the small details and the way the camera makes it feel like i'm the one getting into the car.
Subbed :D
There actually is a sport mode. Press the Traction Control Button under the 12v outlet next to the gear shifter. Press it once for "Sport Mode", Hold it down for a few seconds to turn Traction Control and Stability Control OFF completely.
He filmed this off of 17 at Tanglewood in NC
one of the best reviews yet, truly enjoyed it. Thank you
im so jealous of this mans classiness and knowledge
jdtv productions it's a script off fords website
Now that is a nice hatchback! I just love the design of the new Focus. Thx for uploading.
great video man. you showed a ton about the car. most reviewers are like 90% of them holding a camera to their own head and 10% of shots of the car.
Description is top notch! Awesome work keep up the variety
Quite a brutal sound for a hatchback m. Another brilliant review Kyle, keep up the good work
Great review! I'm looking to get one of these some day & I feel like I don't even need to take it out for a test drive!
Nice accurate review. I love the ST in that color.
The ST has a CD player, I'm sold
Kyle Your Reviews Are Pure Class.😊
Thumbs Up👍
A very detailed review and amazing as always 👌
Lots of effort put into the video. Thankyou so much~!!!
ive got a 2018 focus ST, in hot pepper red, it looks more like a burnt orange but it still looks amazing, what you get out of the box (bone stock) is amazing, very fun car!
Awesome and comprehensive review. Well done and thanks!
Gosh Kyle, I'm so proud of you! You still have a long way to go to get up to the level of say, "Redline Reviews", but you're making progress! At least you're not calling your videos "In Depth Reviews" and then only moving the steering wheel back and forth while parked, touching the glove box, turning on the hazard lights then starting the engine and then saying "Well guys, thanks for watching another "IN DEPTH" review of [insert car brand/model] !!" LOL
Nice comprehensive, all round review Kyle.
Thanks for the review!
thank you Kyle for your awesome car reviews abo
Currently I own a Veloster turbo. But once I get through college and get into my career I'm definitely upgrading.
I really love those Ford radio systems! My dad has a 2015 F150 Lariat and it has that radio system!
A lot of people said that the Focus ST sounds like shit. I love the sound that muffles from the ST and it pairs with the 2.0L 252-horse EcoBoost 4-cylinder (YES 4 CYLINDER) quite perfectly.
I had a friend who had one of these and too this day was one of the most badass sounding cars I’ve ever heard.
Wooo!! I just signed for a brand new 2017 Ford Focus ST today - will take delivery of it on Friday - and this video makes me all that much more excited about it!!! :D
As always, thank you for your awesome in-depth reviews! I love how you format these videos in such a way that I always know you're gonna show the features I wanna hear about!
Subbed! Very thorough review! Good job!
Excellent review sir.
Great job! Very imformative, heavy on the exhaust notes lol. But a really good video, thanks for making it.
You deserve a lot more subscribers I really enjoy your videos :)
He already has a whole lot lol
+Mike Halpert he needs at least a million
Tyree White ah, I see.
josuecuevas98 he has a million now
16:48 holy shit!!! I must own one of these!! Fuck it im getting one finance. Good review mate cool camera shots at the end and the info you gave throughout was spot on cheers
Nice video Kyle.
Damn Kyle! Nice shifting!!!
Interior looks so cool..
looks like a beast omg
im buying this when sych 3 is out in australia i believe july this year! ill get the mountune intake and inter cooler etc cant wait! really excited i had a xr5 turbo 2010 i wish i didn't sell it!
The all-season tires are an option, not included with the car. The car comes with Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tires.
Don't get me wrong, the ST is fine af, but Kyle...the Focus RS...so many new technologies, new engines, new features. We the people need a review of that bad boy!
Good review
Hey saab,
I have a humble request for you.
Could you do a review on a E550 W211 (2007/8/9) Specifically?
thanks
you are the best reviewer.
Hey Kyle! can you do a full in depth review on the all new Ford Focus RS?
@Saabkyle04 I actually have a 2006 focus zx4 ST, so 2012 was not the first year of production. First error I've ever noticed from you.. Kudos. And i'm in Canada, the states has the same car also, look it up.
WhatUKnowBoutCanada Ya, but the ST only can in 2012 Model year in the US
Nice review kyle!!!!
but can you review the 2016 Lincoln MKX?
I started modding my 2013, just filter, airbox and tune now. Diffrential and intercooler upgrade next. The exhaust is the last thing I'll change because the powet gain is neglitable without a cat or turbo upgrade.
Feels like the rebirth of Motorweek
Kyle please do a review of the 2015/2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4Matic...always thank you for the great videos!
+SaabKyle04 You have been one of my favorite new car reviewers. You aren't as good as The Fast Lane Car, but you are definitely hot on their tail!
i believe the rear seat cushions also fold forward allowing the seat backs to fold flat with the rear boot floot
Your videos are amazing. can you please Make a video of 2016 ford everest :D thank you
I want that so badly!
You gatta get the 2016 civic!
You should look at at the Chevy Captiva Sport LT I think seeing a review from you about it would be cool
There is a slayer car from scion that is awesome and unique, it would be crazy if you could do a review of it
You should do a review not only on the RS, but 2016 Honda Civic coupe.
Review a Stage 3 13 ST My brother has one. Loads of torque!
1:37 look at the gauges dance around when he hits the brake pedal... lol
I always loved the Ford Focus ST. That is why my CZcams channel is Ford Focus 165!
Really nice Car
quaife lsd is a must for this car
Huge flaw in the RS, heat. At some point the block will warp then leak coolant into the piston,funfun. So I returned and got a 18 st3 so fun. Btw yes that happen to me
I love my tC to death but this ford is a beauty
Those rear seats can fold flat for even more cargo space, have to remove the head rests and then gently lift the passenger seats up, they'll pop forward allowing the back of the seat to lay flat and flush with the trunk
I have one question Kyle how are you able to get some of the vehicles you use in your vids like lamborghinis or Ferraris etc do you just walk into a dealership and ask to use the car for a review or have to pay them to use the car? Anyway great vid
No hay duda de que usted, en sus vídeos, muestra con una claridad meridiana y exhaustivamente todas las características del vehículo que nos muestra en ese momento y, en ese sentido, es uno de los mejores.Ahora, como conductor, deja mucho que desear. Recuerde que los coches llevan unos intermitentes que _ entre otras cosas _ sirven para indicar a otros conductores cuando va a realizar un cambio de dirección. Viendo como conduce usted, en su coche estos elementos de indicación seguro que sobran.
Hey Kyle just like to ask is it possible if you can do a review on the new Acura NSX its an amazing car and no one else has done a proper in depth review on it, could you be able to film it?
This would be amazing. The thing is a rolling computer lol
Please review Ford Edge sport thanks!
Will you be doing a review on the new focus rs?
Nice video! I just bought a used 2015 Ford Focus st, and I have some questions, 1. I love the ford performance exhaust! But how do you get it? Does the ford dealership have them? And can they install them as well? 2. I am looking into a different air intake system that's not ford performance, would it void my warranty if I install a non ford performance air intake? Thanks!
In the future can you please do the 2017 Gmc Acadia
You say no sport mode but if you turn off the traction control button it enables sport mode. If you want to take that a step further just hold down the traction control button for a few seconds and it will turn off electric stability control as well.
Interior cameras shake like crazy! Must be a really rough ride, but then again this is a sporty car
It's not that bad really I test drove one but it was a 2014
those wheels kill it :(
i might be biased but i love my 2014 fiesta gun metal wheel. the open spoke makes it look cheaper, "my personal opinion" amazing car tho ! Great fun
Hit the traction control, it will say sport mode just saying and it's the button by the shifter/below the 12v connector.. I could be wrong for that year, it says sport mode on my trip screen for the 2016..
Kyle could you do a review of the GT350 or GT350R anytime?
yesss
Kyle videos are borning
Hey Kyle, any chance you're gonna review the new RX?
Thank you Kyle!!!I want to buy one not sure if Hatch or SW or diesel or gasoline!!
Gas hatch dude
Indeed but i have to convince the girl first!!
I could make a sammich inbetween those shifts :D
U suck
responsive and fun
about a 35k+ for a focus st. Thats really up there and at that price point you dont just have a focus rs to think about but several other cars.
+Kyle Howe LOL did you bother watchin the vid. He said about 35k. I didnt pull it out if my ass i was watchin the vid. Maybe you should message him directly and send him your contract from the dealer. As for me i can care less wether you paid 30k, 25k or 2k for it.
best car in the world
It would be cool if you could find an American Rover SD1.
I have given myself one year to determine rather I should get a *Focus ST* or *Wrangler Sport* (w/ manual gearbox)... *Any opinions?*
Can you please review the Lexus LX570
When you doing a review of the 2004 Hyundai Accent 3 cylinder diesel
Too old
You can hit 60 if you wring out 2 gear. You could cut a little bit more off of the 0-60
Having owned 2 STs, I think the best bang for the buck upgrades for these cars are-
1) Rear motor mount upgrade (at least for 2013-14, not sure if they fixed that issue for 2015). Stock mount was far too soft.
2) Tune. Even a good canned tune for this engine completely changes the throttle response, as well as adding 20+ hp and 50+ lb/ft of torque.
I don't have an LSD in mine, so I can't speak to that. I'm sure it's a noticeable improvement.
+hartsickdisciple Are ST's reliable? Any problems?
buildmorefarms100 I haven't had any mechanical issues in the first 30,000 miles. The only issue I ran into was with the touchscreen for the infotainment system on my 2nd ST. The screen went completely black and stopped working. I had to have it replaced.
Kyle Howe I bought one this weekend! 2016 ST package 3 kona blue with red stripes!!!!!
Kyle Howe Yes it did! That shift knob is amazing! Carbon fiber and trim,,,wow! I feel like I dont deserve such an amazing car!!!! It turns heads everywhere since i got it!!! Im a little concerned about gas mpg since I work out of my car all day. What has been your experience?
Can you do a video of the brand new Chevrolet Malibu??
I hope you get to do a nice Ford Flex before they get discontinued.
Can you do another review on a terminator cobra??
Who added the Mountune options to your tester? The Ford dealers I have questioned seemed baffled when I try to get a "dealer installed" quote. Thanks for the in-depth review!
Not every dealership can do it. It has to be a dealership that sells Ford Performance Parts and not all of them do. If you check the Ford Performance website you can see the dealerships near you that can add the options.
Robert Eckart you can order the kit online Google it
can you do a review on the ford 500
Why is it no one seems to review the lying down of the back seats on the ST with them completely flat....
and other cool features like auto open and close of windows from the key fob.
Great review. I do like those wheels, we don't get them in the UK.
+Kyle Howe Agreed. I have them on my 2016 Shadow Black and it's just beautiful.
Greenest Dreamer I personally like the snowflakes better, but these are not a terrible looking wheel by any means.
is there any chance you gonna review the Ford Focus RS
good reveiw research ghe reliability it's a nightmare
Any idea where I can get that ford performance decal on the windshield!? Like damn.
