    Well this particular reviewer is pretty good IMO, he's pretty fair and balanced for the most part but your always going to disagree with someone about something, case in point the upcoming Fiesta ST (which is apparently NOT coming here)

    Matt doesn't like the fact that it's going from a 4 cylinder 1.6L with a 197 hp to a 3 cylinder 1.5L with 197 hp. He said he doesn't like it going down a cylinder, although it maintains the power, not sure what the torque is but it's probably not too far off.

    I will continue to subscribe to his channel because he's pretty much no nonsense and has funny reactions when he nails the gas for the first time, epic! Btw Monica he's a Pennsylvania guy, can't be too bad a guy, right DK News

    Exactly- you can't please everyone.
    As long as YOU like YOUR vehicle, than that's all that matters.

    Reviews are so subjective, I almost never read or watch them. Like JD Power and Consumer reports.... they sent me one to fill out about the RS and all they seemed to ask about was fuel economy and safety features. A complete waste of my time.

    90% of people that post things on websites (this site excluded) are just out to air a negative experience. Usually over-exaggerated.

    I think those RS's are bad ass, Monica. And if you love it, then to Hell with those "reviews".

    Thinking more about that review, I really disagree with 2 things.....

    1. The muscling through turns is not true... I find, especially with the torque vectoring that it's effortless going through the twisties.

    2. I remembered I was recently in my friend's NEW Civic Hatchback. Though it's NOT a Type R, it is a 2017, and the first thing I thought of when I looked at the dash was I had time traveled to 1990. It was SO out-dated looking to me. Just my opinion.

    a few weeks back we got a rental and it was a jeep compass. when i first got in it i thought it was from the early 2000's, but sure enough in the glove box there was the registration and it was the newest model a 2017. talk about cheap feeling/looking and outdated looking interior among many other things. i wouldn't buy one of these new if it was offered to me at half price especially at an MSRP of $19K+...

    I think the new Compass looks pretty good on the outside but I'm surprised they didn't update the interior. I guess it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand (seen that slogan for years)

    This seems to be a known and growing issue. The guy that Roger and myself know with the grey RS has all of the symptoms, and took his car to a dealer to have it checked out. No satisfaction, as of yet.
