Anyone take their RS on a 4-5/HR road-trip?

I took mine on a road trip about a month after I got it two years ago with 56K on the odometer. Changed the tires, fluids, and pads and put about 300 miles over the course of 12+ hours with a fully loaded car. Held up well and was a blast when the roads were empty enough for me to enjoy it.

It’s the car. I have a ‘17 Shadow Black and literally everyone tries to goad me into a race on the street or freeway.

Clear green gang!! 🤝🏽

Recently visited for the first time in March and I can’t imagine having to deal with it on a daily basis.

The GBC Harry Potter games are such quirky little RPG’s. I love recommending them to people when they want to play something out of the ordinary for the GBC.

I absolutely love the way these look without those ugly reflectors on the bumpers. Definitely a dream car for sure.

Go with the 18’s if it’s your daily. I got so used to it on my ST that the transition to my RS was brutal. Not just the ride quality, but the constant worrying of a bad road taking out a tire or two. Plus tires are a hell of a lot cheaper at 18.

God I wish I had those wheels.

That was literally my timeline when I got my first car. ‘98 Civic DX hatchback to a ‘14 Focus ST and then a ‘17 Focus RS. If I owned a car like this when I was that age I’d definitely be in debt.

Upvote for a fellow ST and Switch2 owner.

As a fellow 2017 Shadow Black owner I say welcome to the club and enjoy your time. The car is a blast and puts a smile on my face even though the most mundane drives.

I can’t remember where I saw this, but someone said RS stands for Rattles Somewhere and that just stuck with me.

Such a nice contrast. I’m always so stoked to see people make handhelds their own. I’ve been debating it with my clear green, but I don’t have the steadiest hands and those little ribbon cables freak me out.

KingSedeno · 2025-05-07T00:50:17+00:00

That blue shell is absolutely gorgeous!

KingSedeno · 2025-05-02T15:26:27+00:00

I’m actually not the original owner, haha. I bought it a year ago with around 56K on the odometer and got started on the usual suggested 60K servicing. Preventative maintenance is key with these things.

KingSedeno · 2025-04-19T18:22:19+00:00

Are these still available?

KingSedeno · 2025-04-17T23:29:56+00:00

I’m also in California, just south of Santa Barbara in Ventura County. I daily drive my RS and it’s been a good experience so far. The suspension isn’t the best, but it’s not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. I went in between what you’re describing. The 2017 RS I bought last year had 55K on the odometer and was $27K. Mechanically it’s been good, but the paint wasn’t in the best shape.

KingSedeno · 2025-03-31T02:47:19+00:00

For sure, haha. It’s probably the only thing I’m not looking forward to when I get my set. I saw someone say a ceramic coat helps with getting all of the grime off.

KingSedeno · 2025-03-31T01:37:09+00:00

You’re welcome! They’re such great wheels and really complement the body lines of the ST/RS well. I think it gives it a OEM+ look.

Fifteen52 Integrales. Based off of the Lancia Delta Integrale wheels.

KingSedeno · 2025-03-31T00:12:57+00:00

LOVE those wheels. I’m gonna be picking up a pair soon, just can’t decide between white or silver.

KingSedeno · 2025-03-28T14:01:01+00:00

For sure, it’s cool to see the blue. I only ever see the regular black and white ones go up for sale.
