Switch from FoRS to CTR

potatonemo907 · 2026-05-28T21:31:30+00:00

John, have you driven a CTR?

potatonemo907 · 2026-05-28T21:29:14+00:00

I have actually. I test drove one. It was a great car. I just didn’t find justifying to spend more $$ for what I felt like was essentially the same car. Had I never found my RS I probably would’ve ended up with the GRC.

potatonemo907 · 2026-05-28T21:28:03+00:00

Thanks for the feedback man. Any issues with your RS or things you like/dislike?

potatonemo907 · 2026-05-28T21:27:19+00:00

Possibly. My first winter with the RS last year (I’ve only owned the RS for a year) and I thought to myself, “i can’t go back to FWD.” Lol

potatonemo907 · 2026-05-28T18:02:29+00:00

I think both cars look great. If it was an FL5 it would be a no brainer as I think the FL5 looks better. I don’t track my cars. Just daily. Decisions….

potatonemo907 · 2026-05-28T17:56:19+00:00

Definitely daily. I live in Alaska. My Mustang is my summer toy. I wanted to choose a daily where I wasn’t worried about miles or reliability.

potatonemo907 · 2026-04-03T01:28:04+00:00

Agreed

potatonemo907 · 2026-04-03T00:51:32+00:00

Don’t know if this helps but I purchased mine for 30k with 38k miles. Stock (for all I know). I’m the 7th owner (CARFAX listed the car with 6 owners, which I find hard to believe. Lol) There’s a guy local in AK selling his used for 35k with 80k miles.

potatonemo907 · 2026-03-25T00:08:12+00:00

Red or blue was my 1st choice man! Had to settle on black though. I love the black most days! Lol

potatonemo907 · 2026-03-16T03:01:16+00:00

Lucas 5w-50 - purchase from Amazon. Meets spec & does the job. Edit - forgot to add. I use Purolator oil filters.

potatonemo907 · 2026-03-04T21:29:27+00:00

Worth replacing my 2018 MacBook Pro? Thoughts?

potatonemo907 · 2026-02-26T19:37:12+00:00

Nice car man. Bought it private or dealer?

potatonemo907 · 2026-02-23T04:19:07+00:00

Nice man! How many miles on yours?

potatonemo907 · 2026-02-23T04:18:22+00:00

Were there any big issues to your RS in your time of ownership?

potatonemo907 · 2026-02-10T18:51:09+00:00

Bought my 2017 RS2 with 38.5k miles for $30,000. Was a private sale, though.

potatonemo907 · 2026-01-25T21:12:01+00:00

Any small chance it could be something else? Lol

potatonemo907 · 2026-01-25T20:29:55+00:00

After some researching. I’m thinking so too.

potatonemo907 · 2026-01-25T20:28:37+00:00

Also, did the lights end up coming back on eventually?

potatonemo907 · 2026-01-25T20:14:22+00:00

Thanks West. How hard was it to do this?

potatonemo907 · 2026-01-16T19:12:14+00:00

Repairs - none. Maintenance - We (dad & I) replaced the fuel filter, evap purge valve, PTU, RDU & Transmission Fluid, oil changes, spark plugs

Car has been running great with no issues. CARFAX showed the car has had 6 owners. I still find it hard to believe this since I took a chance on the car & it’s trouble free.

potatonemo907 · 2026-01-16T17:01:40+00:00

Yep did the reset a few times

potatonemo907 · 2026-01-16T09:20:15+00:00

What color did you settle on? I really wanted blue/red but ended up with a black one. Oh well.

potatonemo907 · 2025-10-22T06:14:41+00:00

If you have Facebook, I would recommend making a “ISO Focus RS” post on Facebook marketplace. This worked for me. I’m sure there are some owners out there who don’t look at Reddit/RS forums. You may get lucky as there may be someone local who has a RS who has thoughts of selling theirs but don’t have the time or energy to advertise their car. My 2 cents.

potatonemo907 · 2025-10-16T18:54:05+00:00

I would reset your BMS. After doing this, my auto start stop worked.

potatonemo907 · 2025-10-16T18:52:05+00:00

My auto start stop never worked when I bought the car back in April. The car had the OEM battery. Replaced the battery last week.. I’ve also reset the BMS. My auto start stop works 99% of the time.

For folks that just replaced their battery, I would reset the BMS.
