Reviewed a 2018 Ford Focus RS on Nov 11, 2020
On the upside: the 2018 Ford Focus RS is a sleeper - the ultimate car in the hot hatchback category. With multiple driving, suspension, and stability control modes, this car is competition ready right from the factory. Handling is razor sharp. The car sticks to the road like glue. All this from a four-door hatchback that seats five passengers and has a trunk with fold-down rear seats. This is a great car for driving enthusiasts. On the downside: this is not a great family car, daily driver, grocery getter, or long-trip cruiser. Even in Normal mode, the suspension is rather stiff. The drivers seat bottom is awkwardly angled upwards; the seating position is somewhat uncomfortable. The gas tank only holds 12 gallons, and fuel economy is in the low 20s. Bottom line: if youre an enthusiast who is seeking to carve roads in a hot hatchback, this is the car for you. If youre looking for a family car to use as a daily driver, then keep looking.

About the Ford Focus RS
The Ford Focus RS arrived in the 2017 model year for the first time in the United States. Unlike the sedate economy car it shared a body with, the Focus RS ripped with a 350-horsepower 2.3-liter Ecoboost turbocharged four-cylinder with 350 pound-feet of torque, all-wheel drive (AWD), and a six-speed manual transmission. This rally-bred five-door hatchback could route up to 70 percent of the engine’s power to the rear wheels, and 100 percent of that available power to either wheel, depending on the driving situation.
What are the advantages of the Ford Focus RS?
- Insane engine power for such a compact car
- A unique all-wheel drive system built solely for performance
- Multiple unique interior and exterior features
What is the best Ford Focus RS model year?
The Ford Focus RS was only available for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 model years. There are no major differences from year to year, but there are reasons to purchase each year over the other. 2017 was the first year and 4,111 RS models arrived in North America. The 2018 model year is the most plentiful, with 7,351 in circulation throughout North America. The final year (2019) is the most rare, limited to just 1,002 for the United States and 516 for Canada.
What are the disadvantages of the Ford Focus RS?
All of the disadvantages of the Ford Focus RS are directly related to its advantages. By the end it was in limited production and even before that, examples were rare so finding one in excellent condition can be a challenge. Its performance meant that these cars were often abused and many ended up crashed or otherwise out of circulation. And the exclusive all-wheel drive system, dinner plate-sized Brembo brakes and unique suspension added complexity and expense when it comes time for repairs.
Comparison: Is the Ford Focus RS better than the Honda Civic Type R?
Aside from both being hatchbacks with turbocharged four-cylinder engines, the Focus RS and Honda Civic Type R couldn’t be more different cars. The Focus RS is all-wheel drive while the Honda Civic Type R powers the front wheels. There are obvious advantages to all-wheel drive, but in the Focus RS, it contributed to the $2,200 boost in base price over the Civic Type R, and that’s before you got to the $2,785 RS2 package that comparably equips the Focus RS with heated seats and a nav system. On the used market, though, the equation flips: when analyzing Similar Focus RS and Civic Type R models, we've see the latter priced below for former..
Is the Ford Focus RS a reliable car?
Any car tuned to the edge of performance is going to require more (and more expensive) maintenance to keep it running in top condition. Everything from brake rotors to suspension bushings to tires are going to be more expensive for a Focus RS than even a performance oriented trim of the same car like the Focus ST.
Is the Ford Focus RS worth the cost?
Absolutely, especially on the used market. These are hilariously entertaining cars with a bit of the utility the rest of the world has come to expect from a five-door hatchback. On the one hand, they’ve dropped in value since they were new, but on the other, they hold a much higher percentage of that original value than something like a Focus ST would. These are collector cars right out of the gate, and they’re always worth spending a bit more for a quality example.
