Vs Focus RS

[Stiletto]

I had a highly modded 16 RS. No squeaks or rattles. That award goes to the Stinger moonroof.

As for the OP, yes the Stinger is faster due to lower rpm torque. The RS will crush the Kia in auto-x or possibly road course. But they are totally different classes.

How did any prior owners of the RS find the quality (squeaks and rattles). I contemplated between an RS and the Stinger before getting the Stinger because I was sure with a 17K econobox interior on suspension that stiff and wheels that low profile, the RS would rattle itself apart in no time.

I had a Borla exhaust on mine so this is the only thing I was hearing lol. It popped and banged like CRAZY. But when I was driivng it normally on the highway at 100-120kph, it was rattling a bit since everything in there is made out of cheap/hard plastic.
