Top Gear's Attempt At A Focus RS Review

They tried to record a serious review of the Focus RS but the Drift mode was just too tempting and he ended up sliding around the Circuit des Ecuyers.

Here's the full video, it hasn't bee posted on Youtube yet so I can't embed it.

Nothing like what Jeremy Clarkson would do but still helps to see a review come out from a powerhouse like Top Gear. lol @ drive mode selector telling you 'track use only' when going into drift mode!

Chances are this won't get posted to YouTube and if it does, it will be taken down, TopGear will only want it on their website.

I think the review does a good job of showing how much fun the Focus RS is to drive. It has the right mix of entertainment and actual review. Things are put into every day terms instead of a bunch of technical terms that wouldn't mean much to me.

This isn't CNN or BBC reporting it, this is a channel targeted to enthusiasts or those wanting to have the knowledge any serious enthusiast would have, technical terms are perfectly normal and expected.

Jeremy Clarkson signed a deal with Amazon, maybe we'll see him test out the Focus RS there.
We should hoepfully they are a big company that's good with launching things so this should be good.
Apparently, Top gear is going to have the Focus RS in their 3rd episode. This is the Top Gear without the trio so if anyone is watching the episode, let us know how that goes.

It was rated by Top Gear as the now wait for it as......... The Best Hot Hatch on the Planet. The chap doing the review just loved the RS well worth a watch when it becomes available on the Web.

Just wait till the new Civic Type R is out, then we might see them change that idea of the RS being that high up among the competition.

Hopefully in the end the RS does come out on top, and Ford could potentially release a higher output version.
