Built Quality and Reliability

Or you could buy a Mustang gt or used Chevy ss with a manual. These are compromise mobiles for faggots.

I want a reliable car

American cars are pieces of shit regardless of where they're built.

You really think a Focus RS is more reliable than a Mustang?

Besides, if you're buying new or even slightly used it should have pretty good warranty anyways.

>>17503780
if it's anything like all of Ford's other hot hatchbacks you have until about the 100k mile mark until everything starts going to shit.

You get all benefits of German industriousness and American financial engineering.

Never said that, I'm asking if the Focus RS is as garbage as a Mustang or is more reliable because its built in Germany.

>its made in Germany but built by an American Car Company.
Lmao

>>17503780
It's Ford cars if Europe. Not American and that's the reason it's so good. It beats the mustang and that other piece of shit camaro or something on the track and in practicality

>Reliable
The shitstang trannys are built in China

I think German designers tend to over-engineer, but Germans have good work ethics. An American designed car with German labor is probably pretty reliable.

Most of the Ford Focus issues revolve around the DCT which don't apply to this model so it's anyone's guess as to how reliable it will be.

Been a great car so far have tuned to 440hp/450tq on e30 gas and have driven car hard most days for 15k+ miles. Awd turned off once and came right back on. Car is stiff to some folks i just keep the sport suspension off and leave it in normal most of the time. Drift mode is fanboi gay but car will absolutely grip like crazy in turns it just will latch into a curve and not let up. If you get one just circle around the dealership for a couple weeks i got mine no markup so 36k usd in texas. Disable the fake noise when you get it that shit is annoying the car sounds really good without it. Try to get a car manufactured in or after 2016 september they reinforced the engine block like 10 early production had cracked a cast line between cylinder 2/3 ford repaired all under warranty whether tuned or stock, have only seen one later production engine pop some idiot tuned couldnt mix e30 right still got warranty replaced engine. Anon this car has been a great investment i love driving it every day and it felt great for first 1k miles even without tune.

Not a single hiccup in reliability even under very hard sustained use but this car is new and most people dont have these over 25k miles really so hard question to answer with this cars current and only iteration that is a new entry for ford.
