Ugh. Fuck all synthetic engine noise systems.
For the most part, I don't understand what he's complaining about.
Is that really what the focus st looks like on the inside? It looks like an economy airline cabin
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;52987214]Is that really what the focus st looks like on the inside? It looks like an economy airline cabin[/QUOTE] Pretty much all current domestic compact cars are terrible plasticky yuck inside, unfortunately.
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;52987214]Is that really what the focus st looks like on the inside? It looks like an economy airline cabin[/QUOTE] Ford are pretty terrible at making good interiors
Oh hey, my car! (except without the fuggly color/DeadPööl nonsense) I am quite sad to know I apparently had this chinese speaker in my car was making the noises the whole time. :shh:
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;52987214]Is that really what the focus st looks like on the inside? It looks like an economy airline cabin[/QUOTE] Its still just a Focus, just with performance bits added and a bit more luxury. :v: Most Fords contain recycled materials in their interiors. Its eco-friendly, but premium feeling/looking they are not. All they are concerned with is that they durable and they are for the most part.
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;52987214]Is that really what the focus st looks like on the inside? It looks like an economy airline cabin[/QUOTE] You can get some fairly nice interiors in fusions and explorers and the like, but the focus/fiesta are noticeably behind the times on interior quality. You're mostly buying them for the gokart-for-the-road feeling they have. I don't care much for VAG products, but they do economy interiors well.
I can tell you from sitting in my friend's Ford ST, the interior truly is night and day compared to the VW GTI. [quote]It looks like an economy airline cabin[/quote] About as accurate as you could get of a descriptor. Which is a shame for a hot hatch to have such a description applied to it.
I'm not sure if its connected to the headlamps and is a night only thing but when he turns on the blinkers the light bars on the wing mirrors don't turn on aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yay he reviewed "my" car! I got the same exact car (packages too) but in the dark blue color <3 [t]https://i.imgur.com/34hmtdd.jpg[/t] I will say, his review was what I was expecting. It's nice to see he likes the car a lot but I knew he was gonna riff on it for the review.. and yes I too hate the plaid seats, plastic oil pan and soundakor thingy.

I'm also aware they are true to the original GTI seats but I personally really don't like them. I wish I had the Golf R seats personally. [editline]19th December 2017[/editline] I WAS WRONG. LEATHER NON-GTI seats are on the SE and Autobahn GTI's but only those and with those ones they are NOT optional.
I love my plaid seats I think they're great
I will keep my Leather with red trim seats over the plaid any day.
I have a 97 GTI It is my child [IMG]https://imgur.com/ixOnh3Jl.jpg[/IMG]
Anyone who doesn't like the GTI plaid seats is a complete pleb [QUOTE=SuperDuprKyle;52991276]I have a 97 GTI It is my child [IMG]https://imgur.com/ixOnh3Jl.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Had one of these, the 2.0l engine is completely indestructible, revvin to the max a shitload and never had any problems over 2-3 yrs.

The fake leather looks better than the curb-side couch plaid design, TBH.
My Focus RS had that fake engine noise crap. I gave it a week to see if I could enjoy it. Needless to say, it was unplugged in a week and now I don't have fake Subaru Boxer noise in my interior now.
