If ever there were a hot hatchback that could render us here at Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln Inc. straight-up speechless, our esteemed American automaker's -- the 2017 Focus RS -- would have to be it.
Yet, what makes it so?
That answer, conveniently enough, can be found in the clip below. Tag along with AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika, as he takes the Focus RS out for a spin:
Exquisitely appointed, the sole trim level of the Focus RS provides style and substance in spades.
Standard features include front Recaro sport seats, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, the SYNC 3 infotainment platform, an 8-inch touchscreen, two USB inputs, Bluetooth compatibility, smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a 10-speaker Sony sound system, which further adds HD and satellite radio.
If you'd like to meet this mind-bending machine "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Greenville, OH location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the Focus RS, or any other Ford model you might currently be considering.
