Shame cause this looks such a promising car.
Luckily the RS isn't going to be made in the US.


Germany instead which might be just as bad lol


However, I don't think a lot of the problems will come over. The 2.3L DI engine is like 10 years old now so a lot of the bugs are HOPEFULLY worked out.. some new head designs and such but still.


The AWD system is probably just a Haldex more or less so hopefully no major issues there.


Luckily you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a ford dealership though so I'd try another dealer for sure.
