I thought it was FCA?
This type of thing is super regional too, you get better service at a Chevy dealer than I do at bmw
HG had a recall ... also the one I posted had the right one at the factory, because that’s hard to do.
Yea, true...it's all super regional.
My battle is less so with
service, I'll be doing my own, and these cars are near new/new, so I am expecting 0 issues. As that's the world we live in today...
My battle is whether I want to compromise DD ability+Looks for fun. The Focus RS to me is sort of the winner, the WRX however is a better all around car, and with the possibility of getting one new, it adds some niceness over the "pre farted" ones.
So to compare and contrast WRX vs RS.
WRX:
Pros:
Better Ride
Better interior, Comfortable seats
More "adult" styling
Possibly "new"
0 issues until 100k miles if i decide to keep it that long
Cons:
Brakes are meh (fixable with STI swap perhaps)
Engine sounds like nothing (not fixable)
Possibly high depreciation if I go new
RS:
Pros
Most fun to drive car at 3XK period (excluding miata)
Great shifter/clutch
Exciting engine note/sounds
Great Brakes
Comfortable seats
I personally like the styling and exclusivity
Cons
Assembled by
's during octoberfest in Germany
Very FIRM ride
Smallish rear trunk
Dated interior
FOCUS stigma
It's a tough call... and I still have to drive the STI, however I am expecting it to deliver on the brakes+sounds, but to bring in downsides of a 15 year old motor/mpg/ridequality/wing/price I have 0 use for the selectable diffs, to me that's a 100% gimmick that I will never touch.
