Do you currently own a Focus ST? What do you love about it? Raise your hand!

 

[Buzzard]

I do! I love everything about it except the turning radius...

 

[Hoonigan]

Yes, it's a PB FoST and I own a TB FiST that's my daughter's daily driver.

 

[A2RS]

Yes I own an ST.

I love almost everything about it except...

It's missing about 100hp/tq and all wheel drive.

This, and the turning circle ^_^

Yes, I own a 2013 Ford focus ST,ST3 w moon roof. It is a great car and I love everything about it except the torque steer and the way it handles hard power in the curves; rear wheel drive S2000 is so much better. The radio is very good and I like the Bluetooth and Sync voice interface. Very good mileage ( RS will be 3 mpg less across the board: city 20, highway 29, overall 23) but that is okay. I like
way the small turbo comes on almost immediately with no turbo lag; I am hoping the RS turbo lag will be minimal. I like that it is pretty quiet on the highway and you can hear the audio. No problems in 40K miles.

I am really looking forward to the RS with AWD and as they say "you can never have too much power".

YMMV,

Awesome, I test drove one of those. I didn't buy it, but it got me interested in Foci

People laugh when I say I drive a 2002 focus, but it only has 57k miles and is a blast to drive. I certainly have the means to drive something new but I love it, especially after the supercharger install. It will split time with the RS

 

[Langdawg]

Guilty as charged, and LOVE my PB ST3. Almost 30k miles and no major issues.

I have a 13 PB Focus ST, love this thing. I had it stage 3+ for almost 50k miles with no problems so far. Just sold all the parts to make way for the RS. All I have to do now is sell the car.

 

[Gifford]

2013 PB ST3 with 40,000+ fun miles. New tires at 27,000. New brake pads at 35,000. Average mileage = 25.7 (actual calculations). It still brings a smile to my face driving mountain roads.

 

[Event-Horizon]

Yep! 2013 PB ST3. Just under 28k miles. Just wish I could sell the damn thing! It's been three months since I offered it for sale. It's going to CarMax soon.

Turbo lag will definitely be more on the RS - closer to that of the STI, hopefully not quite as much

I have an ST and I love the car except in the winter - miss that AWD . Though yes the turning radius sucks, and the stereo is complete garbage.

 

[krane]

nope wrx guy but always like them. A faster one with awd... yes please... assuming I can ever get one. :-/

 

[Crooked Letta]

I like my ST but it is just not the car for me. I crave hardcore performance and the ST is not that but a refined sporty compact just like the ST badge represents. It is an amazingly fun car but for it to be what I want it to be I would have to keep modding.

If the RS wasn't coming out this is what I would do.

EFR6258, I want that turbo to keep spooling up top but also do not want to dampen that great throttle response.

Wavetrac LSD, The ST really has trouble putting power down and can easily roast the inside tire especially with all that TQ and immediate throttle response.

I would upgrade the clutch at the same time, as for what I don't know. I havn't researched in over a year due to the RS. I will say I loved my Stage 3 KY clutch in my balt, but instead of Ceramic I would probably go Kevlar due to being more slip friendly around town, and I have a lot of hills. I use to have to dump the clutch on my Balt and spin the tires so I wouldn't annihilate the clutch up big hills.

AP Racing brakes

Again I haven't researched in a while but at the time the best damper system out there was the GC kit using Koni Yellows and Eibach springs, but I would really love a set of MCS dampers.

I would swap out all the bushings for stiffer ones.

A set of lightweight Forged Wheels.

RyguyC,

I am betting the RS turbo lag is going to be just a little more than then ST and a lot less than STI or Golf R

YMMV,

Hopefully, I chose the ST over the STI because of the lag...part of why I'm afraid to buy an RS without a test drive.

I have a 2014 ST, ST3 Performance Blue. And it's going up for sale in the coming days. Time to get ready for the RS. Seeing the ST before I hit 50,000 miles, currently at 44,000 and I have loved every one of those miles!
