Crash test: Octavia RS vs. Focus

[TheHaros5]

they are compare a car with technology from 2008 and a focus from 1999

9 years develepoment skoda wants to show us that they have powerfull cars? make a crash test with a ford focus mk2 but no by side face to face

[ShawnGlory]

yeap let alone the current ones. besides this was a comparison between the hardest point of an FF car(mind the readers) which is the front against the side (oh come on we all know its a crash test but P.O.I is important to look at).

In which case I would say the ford performed extremely well.

[Kom859]

4:27))) респектос!!!!!!!!

[legioner9]

Both cars behaved very well :)

[MrRod62]

I own a 2005 focus, But yes thats a Focus, Shame they didnt use cars of same years, Focus has a good Safety record. Like to see a Skoda get hit by a New Focus though lol

[Pinin500]

SKODA AS UNCOOL AS EVER...AVOID..

[svtcarboy]

If you read independent crash tests, side airbag equipped Focus models do well in side crashes. Without side airbags, most cars do poorly, and they all look worse than they really are.

[SonnyAF]

I'm dissapointed. I thought I would see there a comparison NEW Octavia RS to NEW Focus, but what I see is NEW Octavia RS hitting OLD Focus... Title of the video sux.

[vw360r]

Car from Europe vs Car from USA :-)

[flevostad]

The Skoda would look the same if the Focus rammed it from the side... every car would. BTW.. its a Skoda crashtest so they have to make the Focus like that or they'll get trouble with Ford.

[RnB123100]

if thats with a scoda id like 2 c what happends 2 a focus when hit by a truck on the side :(

[JENSDONT]

OMG, look at that Focus XD

[engcameraman]

its a focus made to look like a rover 200 (tailgate is a give-away)!!

[coolstuffplus]

banzaaai

[GTA4Cobra11]

Ford (but it doesn't look like a Ford,but whatever) = Death Trap!!!

[b0gd1]

I don't see the relevance of the test, it should be front-to-front impact in order to make a comparison not front-to-side. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Skoda fan, I own a Skoda Fabia, but this is not a VS test unless it's done properly to test the frontal structures of both cars.

[jockergd1]

шкооодаааа :)))

[Lubosfajmon]

Hi hi Focus is Shit car he he

[Cipry16]

Skoda FTW.

[22oliverm]

to jest rover!!!!!!!!! ludzie.

[torentmonkey]

i hate skoda for 1 thing ...delivery time :((

[madeira429]

to BALDENEGRII- this is a Focus,but is undercover,asshole!

[Espen005]

LOL, what kind of modification is done to this Focus. May be a Focus, but must be a much older version, since this one doesn't look

Anyways, Skoda sucks... Ford is much better

[mikey380sx]

@Espen005 "Anyways, Skoda sucks... Ford is much better"

....You obviously haven't taken an Octavia RS for a drive!

[pantomimicznykon]

the black car is honda civic

[1hit1derz]

@pantomimicznykon It's not Civic - it's a Focus with some black sticky tape over the lights, red sticky tape for new lights and grey sticky tape to change the shape of the rear side windows. The title of this video is correct

[lightvader3338]

@pantomimicznykon believe or not its a focus they just taped the lights so it doesnt look like one. pause and watch carefully.

[pantomimicznykon]

@lightvader3338 yes this is a Focus

[leesh2001de]

skoda ...Big laugh...shit car

[MASEK360]

looks like a rover from behind, the lamps... SKODAA: D

[jackd166]

looks more like a clio than a focus

[lividity]

there is no focus in this video.

[1hit1derz]

@lividity This is a Focus - what do people keep saying it's not? You can see where they have taped over the rear side windows and lights to change the shape of the car. Presumably because this is a Skoda video and they couldn't show a Ford getting smashed in it. Watch carefully at 0:48 and you can see a black cable running up over where the rear lights used to be. The dead give away is the fog and reversing lights though. This is 100% a Mk1 Focus 5 door hatch.

[theprodicalsonishere]

@1hit1derz Oh yes looks like a ford focus other than the characteristicly VAG massive front overhang where the engine lives, the green calipers (octavia vrs) or the close 5 stud centre of the alloys another VAG favourite. The skoda octavia vrs alloy wheels are a dead giveaway too. clearly a focus ;)

[balzakio]

Guys, lisen up. Thats really is european ford focus mk2 station wagon. I see that. Look for hide front headlights and for the rear fog lapm on the left side of the car and the reverse lapm on the right. Ford focus MK2 its pretty safe car witch got 5 stars in Euro NCAP.

Skoda sucks. Why skoda and vw assholes didn't use both skoda cars in that crash test?

Ford Focus Rocks.

[DivisionDirlewanger]

Its a Focus. But seems to be Focus mk1.

[21adamett]

Wow nice video but this is not focus :)

[japanman1]

It is a ford focus genious lmao, it's a zx5 hatchback. I OWN one ^- It's masked bc this was during developmental stages before the design was finalized or publically released. And they test both the Focus (1st) and the Octavia (2nd).

[kedluben]

This really is NOT Ford Focus... lol

[WHATTHEANTHONY14]

@kedluben this is a temp350 from nfsmw XD

[baldenegrii]

ford focus is better than skoda....i want to see how a skoda survives in a laterally crash with a focus...and that ford focus it is with 3 or 4 years older comparised with skoda!

[muthu161]

cool

[tuomipoik]

why they duct taped the focus?

:D

[pug206T]

because it's american! it falls apart even without crashing :P

[TheTchillerz]

when you look at the handles and at the blendings of the mirrors you may recognize a 2000s focus. it's not a rover or mg. the head and brake lights are just covered with black tape. another argument is the reverse light at the right side of the bumper. and it's an euro focus, why should the germand TÜV Süd choose an american model ?

[wallywilly1]

this is not the english ford focus, im not 100% sure what the american for focus looks like but im doubting its like that, seeing as the brake lights and indicators are along the side of the boot. altho it does have that bar on the back above the number plates that a focus has so im guessing american focus?

[jaffacake1578]

no, it is no way near a focus, it is a rover 200,

[1337WZRD]

Looks like a Euro focus to me..

[b1a1d1e1r1]

viva skoda

[slipos54]

it's focus 1, 5 doors bad choose for airbag it's only in ford focus 3doors

[NovaLFS]

Ford Focus does not resist of the impact, if driver is there, probability of die is big

[dataman2007]

Oh you dummy boys... It is Focus, but there are tapes on the front and rear lights and it looks like another car, but it is really Ford Focus. Try to look better on the first image, there are visible lines of original front lights... If you dont see there Focus, please return your drivers licence... :-)

[Lucasthedriftking]

You're right.

[Alexkr90]

Its a Renault Clio i think. the rear part of the car looks like a Clio!

[pckid888]

It's NOT a Focus because the Ford focus has it's tailight cluster along the edge of its rear windows not in the conventional spot as shown on this car! What is wrong with you people!

[vector6977]

It is a 4 door hatchback focus. Only the 2 door hatches had the tailights way up high.

[merci77]

that´s not ford focus :-))))

[StallionR191]

It is a ford focus, look at the shape of it. Retards. :P lol

[jaffacake1578]

no, it's not. its a rover 200!

[dominicekmachricek]

Right,i think.

Rover or MG.

[jaffacake1578]

yes!

[1Niccck]

It is indeed an old Ford Focus you idiots, it just got tape over it because it is a brand that doesn't belong to the VAG-Group.

[baldenegrii]

you idiot..this is not ford focus

.....tape ford focus on google images and then you will se how a real ford focus looks

[swordfish1986]

Ever heard of duct tape, dumbass?

[derbigpr500]

@baldenegrii you idiot...cant you see that this ford focus was painted differently so it would look like it has different lights?

[baldenegrii]

@derbigpr500 yes my friend you are right...i see that it is a ford focus! Thank you! but it is strange why they masked the car with duct tape! whatever, ford focus was it is and it will be a very good car!

[Eyehategod213gr]

@baldenegrii its a focus mk1 5 door model. check the lines of the car, see its covered with tapes. look the headlights under the tapes. its a focus... :)

[zajebislav]

@baldenegrii it is ford focus. They just masked its shape!

[Espen005]

@baldenegrii LOL, ofc it's a Focus

[jaffacake1578]

ignore the lame title the person with this account just named the black car a focus 'cos' he wanted just to trick you into thinking it's a focus, it's not, it's a rover 200 i know this because the lights on the focus is up the side of the rear window, plus the lights at the front of a FOCUS don't smear downwards they are a sort of triangle shape, so yeah.

[Catlow20]

Let me just say if the Skoda was better, then it would have been sold in the U.S. market.

Right?

[honzaruze]

it wouldn because nobody would buy vw passat which is more expensive so the vw concern ,which skoda is also part of, would lose money

[classicczech]

No. Quality and marketing are two different things. And in this test the Focus is not worse or better, they just test the Octavia hitting a car.

[jaffacake1578]

that looks like a rover 200 lol NOT A FOCUS...

[SPD13TDI]

fuck us as attempt rabbit :D:D:D

[adosq]

skoda better!!!

[chagaron2]

¿? skoda rs is high on skoda vs focus stock? focus st is really better

[andrejsobik]

You´re not right.Skoda aren´t the safest car in the world. The Volvo is safest-NO WAY!!!! Just read the car news and you will know.Tell up dude:D:D

[b1a1d1e1r1]

skoda!!!

better

[jaffacake1578]

shut up ford is much safer its just ford got hit from the side giving the skoda ocupents a softer landing twat... also that wasnt even a focus, and if the focus/whatever car it is slammed into the side of the skoda then vice verca the black car would win. also you are dumb enough to think skoda is safer than ford.

but its not...work on your research...

[csifan17]

u r right

[jaffacake1578]

thankyou...at least i knocked some sence into some ones brain...(just kidding)

[rafaeljdm]

Rock Solid construction ;)

Skoda rulles

[nohayusername]

yes, it's a focus.

[saramerjem]

its not ford focus lol

[bobrfido]

at 4:00, when the side window breaks, it looks like water being spilled. cool

[nivess88]

skoda rules :D

[harmankardonbose]

@nivess88

A side crash test always will be more destructive for the target car, This test is Pointless

[8ares8]

your skoda is not your :D skoda now is german :)))) we have Attack K1

[hrca123456]

Škoda haves onley the motor of VW!!!!!!! IDIOT!!!!

[Draven84]

no... there's tons of parts that are identical in VW and Skoda.

you really think it would be cheaper to develop entirely different cars? lol Dumbass...

[Drummer4192]

you are such a idiot , skoda has the same parts like VW; not the worst cars !!!!

[UnRoman111]

fuck your mother

[uniculCSM]

suck my dick

what car do you have you shit

[uniculCSM]

if 24.000 euro sounds poor for you tell me

[Skito89]

shut the fuck up..

skoda isn´t poor the new fabia with some extras cost around 17.000 euro and that´s NOT cheap but the cars of SKODA are every euro worth... love the Octavia RS and i hope the new Skoda Fabia will get some more motors with more power... maybe an 1.8 Turbo 160 HP that would kick ass :-D

[S1And3r0n]

Rumor has it!!!!

That the new Fabia vRS may have a: 1.4 TFSi that gives 140 - 170 hp, they haven't decided!!!

The 1.4 TSFi is the SAME unit that VW Use!!!!!!

But, if they put a Diesel in it again, like the old vRS, i hope it gives about 150 hp!!!

It would be like a Mini Rocket with the: Mountain Of Torque

[jaffacake1578]

haha a ford has more the focus rs new model has 301 bhp

[SPD13TDI]

but its ford :D:D:D:D:D:D

[bmwm5audirs6]

lol same car like a VW pooor 8ares8

[riflelord2]

if all car crashes where this slow

[jordanross123]

yer its deffo a focus that back silver strip is unmistakable!

looks like a rover 200 at first glance though

[09TheSims3]

Good one! Lol!

[Trusten1984]

I`m 27 years old, Skoda are a piece of me now, since my mom bought a Skoda Fabia in late 2003 !!!

[jerseyflex238]

hey do u know how much is RS though? i can't find anywhere the price

[Trusten1984]

Argggg ???, :-)

[DJDUNNY84]

they are about 17000 mate,my dad paid 16000 for the mk1 back in 2004,and the price is british pounds im talking about,so just thought i would try and help,although you can pick second hand ones up very cheap now too

[kolcubuch]

It's not a focus.

[Crashsilumator26343]

SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPP

IT IS MASKED

[kolcubuch]

Crashsilumator26343

bullshit

[kolcubuch]

ok you right. sorry

[Trusten1984]

You`re right, this is a not Ford Focus, is must be a Japanese car !!!!

[N15M07]

Focus... Masked.. Lights, interior, profile.

[scytek]

wooo you know he dead

[alexurretxu]

It´s not a focus, back lights are not as in a Focus, you can not mask this!

[N15M07]

You can. The original light is covered by dark blue tape and fog light is from focus too. that lights down is fake lights

btw. Look at front of focus you will see the mirrors from focus. And from top it is evidently focus. look at interior

[alexurretxu]

Right, it´s a Focus. The rear plate´s place is easy to recognice.

[toobisek]

its not a focus...

[N15M07]

It is focus. Its only masked

[ExodosPL]

It's not a focus.

[EnzoFirrari2k6]

actually it is. SORRY BUD!

[proteas1992]

Octavia 5 rs is perfect!
