This is kind of biased but I do love this car and everything it offers up front. Don't get it unless you're ready for the seats. I had an ST for 6 years and a used to the seat bolsters. The gas mileage is lackluster but that's mainly due to having fun in the car! All in all if you're looking at this car you already knew what you wanted in a hot hatch. The resale value is also a major highlight since Ford isn't producing these cars in the states anymore.

My 2016 RS RS2 is by far more fun than any other car I've owned. It was a blast when it was stock, and now that I've done a few modest upgrades (bringing it up to 400hp and 400ftlbs of torque) it's a truly incredible ride. The only negative about it is the design flaw in the 2016 engine that makes a blown head gasket inevitable. (Had I known of this ahead of time I would've bought a '17). I ended up having my local Ford dealer install an updated 2017 engine, to the tune of $12k including new clutch and flywheel. Even with the added expense of the new engine, this car still blows away anything I've owned to date. Add to that the performance upgrades of exhaust, intake and electronics and it truly is amazing. Even with the engine issue and added expense it brought with it, I will never regret this purchase, and I will never consider selling it. It really is an amazing little package.
