New Ford Focus RS

[John]

Went to see one in the showroom of a local ford dealer recently with a mate and i have to say... is it just me or does anyone else think... what a load of rubbish!

1) Too many stupid fake airvents.
2) Rear roof spoiler that bends and moves when you touch it.
3) Fake rear diffuser.
4) Single piston front brake calipers on 300bhp car...sake.
5) The same recaro seats as a £15k corsa vxr.
6) Same plasticky mass produced money saving dash and door cards as every other focus.
7) £29,000 on the windscreen.

And so on. The only good thing was the black interior roof lining, that was cool.

When you think back to a fiat coupe for example, a coach built car with curved sculpted panels, clamshell bonnet and details like alloy fuel cap- that must cost a fortune to produce.

I guess they just dont make cars like they used too...

At first I liked them, then when I spotted them out on the road I thought they looked awful.

Most I've seen are driven by old men, not cool.

Wait for a couple of years or so and they might be more worth the value (at 2nd hand values).

dont settle for a focus st, i can personally vouch on that.
I have drove 2 of them on the edge and,

On my way home from a show at cleethorpes i had a play with 2 of them in my last hgt wich was only midly tuned and i can say with witnesses that it could not shake me what so ever.

My Friends Corsa vxr was the car at the side of us watching that can easilly out run a focus .

the rs does have more power but i think it is one of them cars that could have been so much better so i think what im really trying to say is if you really love the look of it get one but dont if you just want a fast car if you get me sort of like the Rx8 in that manor.
