2018 Ford Focus RS Limited Edition review - Long-term owner
By Owner Review · 27 Oct 2025
The multimedia is clear and informative with the Sync 3 system. Emergency services are quick to access with the cars Sync 3 system which also has voice capability. Apple and Android support is also included.The inside cargo is spacious enough for most things everyday-use wise. The boot space can be limited if there is a spare tyre, however without it, there is plenty of room for a hatch of this size. This car drives like a dream. The all-wheel-drive system makes taking turns a breeze. The 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine is enough power to take the vehicle from 0-100km/h in 4.7 seconds. Though it can be stiff sometimes, the joy of driving this car is more than worth it.Fuel is your standard unleaded 98. The insurance for me personally was more expensive than I thought because of it's Ford Performance label and possibly my age. Servicing is standard when looking after the car. However price on new tires can be quite expensive.This car feels reliable in the sense of bringing fun, excitement and thrills to the driver. It functions like a regular car would on the daily, but I use it for weekends and special occasions. This car does not disappoint when it comes to reliability in any way. Just keep the spare tyre in the boot for emergencies, though.
