Ford Focus Zetec S video review 90sec verdict

@flatblackstrat You have no understanding of what and why. You would childishly blame the rain on Obama if you could. Invoking the 99% does no entitle you to default blame the President for the nations ills. Regulation hasn't been the problem. The lack of responsibility and accountability has. If these people in Govt actually did what they were supposed to, you wouldn't need the regs, regardless of party. "Don't blame anyone, unless you are willing to blame everyone."

0-60 in 8.6 seconds? This is a Cold Hatchback.

looks butt ugly

@Adelante077 But... how long will it last? :))))

@DocWolph No I blame him for helping to make American into the Tyrannical anti-Republic that it is today, by renewing Bush policies like the Patriot Act, singing NDAA into law, pushing the new CAFE regulations through which will most definitively drive up car costs on an already sliding dollar, because of the Fed that he refuses to audit. Blindly giving away Tarp money, being the body guard of his 2 con men Ben Bernanke and Timothy Geithner. Not to mention the whole Obama care issue.

Its a bit of a Minger ain't it?

Its a diesel, only cheap lifeless people like and defend diesel cars!

@flatblackstrat Response too long. Sending message.

so boring compared to a 80`s xr3i

Why this model of Focus is so nasty???

Looks ugly.

@Adelante077 Hahaha :D Nice of you to admit it :D

@sangolt88 no it wont..alfa isnt the same anymore after some audi and bmw engineers are working there u know...

@DriftDriver36 well, u probably have no experience at all as far as i can see....ive driven lots of cars in my life..including some super stuff like the new GTR....worked my whole life at VW/Audi.....and test drove some GTIs and GTDs....i would go for the GTD without even thinking twice....drive some...drive some more...and more...collect lots of experience...then say something...

@sangolt88 I agree with you, my brother bought one second hand and after about 2 or 3 days the gear box went. Summary = Alfa romeo - Beautiful but very unreliable.

go to fatlace.com there teaming up to make a limited version!

@Adelante077 and find yourself a very unreliable car. Alfa = lots of repairs.

Lets stop with the 90 seconds and give us a proper review... they're just lazy >:(

8.6 seconds? wtfff

@dsyebert its a diesel so what would you expect?

wifes new car, i fucking hate it.

@AttaboyIII you're missing the point

@DocWolph I guess you realized it just was better to put the keyboard down.....

@flatblackstrat It's easy to pretend you weren't taken behind the shed and body-slammed. I sent you the private message and if you are too stupid to answer, that's your problem. I can't be held responsible for your inability to use "liberal" technology.

@flatblackstrat Go ahead, pretend you didn't get the PM. YES. I sent one. The Republican agenda is to replace Democracy with capitalism, period. With all their party does and done to exemplify "he with the money makes the rules", their fault for 2000 and 2008, $8T of $14T in debt, their refusal to own up for it, I call them Robber Barons and/or the minions of them. Obama isn't perfect. But he's not nearly as bad. BTW, You're the one responding in 30mins or less.

@DocWolph We were never a democracy Doc, we were a "Republic", learn your history bud... big difference. And there is nothing wrong with capitalism, it would actually keep consumers safer since the end consumer would have the biggest say. However you are so blind that you cannot even see that what you just mention as being the motive of the republican party is what Obama has already done. Bank bailouts are know as corporatism, the rich had all the say and the poor got shafted.

@flatblackstrat To piss on the word Democracy, meaning "People Power", where the people have the say, not a King, ignores & insults the founding concept of America. A Republic, is a nation w/ a chief of state, a President, not a political system in itself. America is a Democratic Republic. Not the Republican lean to a Capitalist Republic. Capitalism, over Democracy, as a political system is dangerous. Capitalism is an Economic system. "He with the money makes the rules."

@flatblackstrat Don't tell someone to "learn their history". You don't even know America is a Democratic Republic, what that means, why Republicans economic policies has failed at every turn, and why Democrats have always been the ones to fix it, even if it has to take 10+years. The only reason why we persist in this diatribe is you feel so small, you just have to win. I've been polite, to a near fault. I'd quit if you'd "put you gun away".

@flatblackstrat Remember you came to me looking for a fight, child. You can be as foolishly contrarian as you like, continually showing a gross lack of understanding and actual education by your own words. But whatever, you may have your bone so you can crawl back under your rock. Also, next time wear your "brown shirt", it'll complete the image.

royal purple sucks

"Feels leaden and nose heavy" what because of the weight of the engine? What's the weight difference? 25kg? I bet if you weighted the petrol down to the same weights he wouldn't notice the difference. Just the usual bullshit spouted everytime there's a diesel in there. New diesels are nowhere near as heavy as they used to be and certainly not a big enough difference in a car to notice.

People don't tend to like watching videos that are too long online, which is why people like Autocar are told to keep it short and simple, but I think 90 seconds is taking it a bit far. If you're searching for videos of cats, 30 seconds each video is too long and youll get bored, but if youre watching this youre probably a car nut and are willing to watch a bit more. Also remember, they don't have resources to make long top gear-esque videos, these are just extra content from mag reviews

ugly front

Does the British fuel economy standards differ from the US epa estimates? Because I don't understand how 56.5 combined is even possible for a diesel with epa estimates for other cars.

Megane RS250, all day everyday. The interior is shabby, the looks awkward. If you want something fast, looks good and is reasonably cheap, theres nothing better. I promise!

0:24 "they see me rolling"

@chubb4884 oh, thanks.

@chubb4884 No one likes a smart ass lol joke

90 second verdict is just an excuse for being fucking lazy slobs

"zetec S is the most sporty focus there will be"...???.... what about the ST you numpty

This is a shit review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Australia I have the Ford Focus S TDCi and maybe it's different here, but the handling is easily as good as the petrol version and it's far more powerful (340Nm), and far more fuel efficient.

This review is definitely BS

Your forgetting that manufactures want the customers to modify their ride because incase you hadnt notice car designers get knowledge from your typical ricer because they know how to get the optimum performance of the vehicle and also in some cases comfort

ST...?..this diesel one is a lot better value

Its a sports car though🤣 stop comparing it to the ST
