2016 Focus RS - Now on the streets-Exhaust vid+Photos
My good buddy and co-worker just picked up his 2016 Focus RS, which is huge shock considering many people who pre-ordered this car are still waiting for a build date (Eric, my buddy had a pre-order, yet still came up on this).
I'll have a lot more photos and videos in the next few days (longer for video) but the car looks pretty badass in person. I haven't driven it yet, but I expect it to be quite a riot! Follow us @boostedfofo and @continuecrushing EDIT: New Video of the car on our dyno with before/after test!

The Smoking Tire Matt Farah was there (at the HRE event), Eric on Left is owner and Mike on far right is Owner/CEO of Modbargains.com Last edited by continuecrushing; 08-12-2016 at 07:41 PM. |

Cool, can't wait to hear some reviews on this car...
I really have strongly considered trading in my 4 Runner on one of these... |

Outside looks great! Inside....ew. Maybe its just the picture quality, but it just reminds me of my mom's old Windstar minivan.

Interior shots! With iphone...I'll use my camera in the next few days
Backup cam-screen is bright and clear+gps seemed pretty responsive Sunroof open and goofing around lol The backseat-yes, not a ton of leg room, but the car isn't huge either. Didn't ride back there, but for the car class size that it is, seems fine. |

It just irks me that someone could pay upwards of $40k for a hot hatch that looks like $20k on the inside. Hopefully its fun enough to drive that its distracting--which is the point of the car anyways, right? |

We'll really be able to beat on it once its "broken in" since there's only 320 some odd miles on the odo. If its as fun to drive as the reviews have claimed, it might be worth it. |
