Focus RS

[Mr Fletcher]

i look at this latest offering from ford and i have to say imo not only did subaru drop the ball with the new impreza but it rolled under the bloody table never to be seen again this looks superb

[Mr Fletcher]

i tried and failed

Not sure if that was the one you wanted to upload mate

I'll admit I didn't like the acid green one I saw on the road but the more subtle colours, for me, are pretty much spot on. Bloody rapid too by all accounts.

I think that's an old pre-production image. Here's a newer one-



One of the guy's at work had a deposit on one, but gave it up (and sold his Focus ST) to buy a house instead.

cheers danny thats the pic i was trying to post had one of the rear aswell
looked well posh in white

[Tonynos]

I think they look really good in white even though I'm not a great lover of white cars

Why didn't Ford see sense and make them 4wd though

i cannot understand this either as volvo do a good awd system by all accounts

Saw one of these for the 1st time the other day, looked really nice in blue.
Would be better if it was 4wd, maybe they are secretly planning to make a 4wd Cossie version to rival the R35! (we can hope!)

[Stuart]

4wd would have meant 1600kgs, less agility and no means of bringing out a super dooper one in a years time

Apparently these lack nothing in terms of grip and the 300bhp is a nice lively drive rather than numbed by the extra weight and traction.

All read and absorbed by other sites. I've not driven one so cannot personally comment

i drove one a couple of weeks ago and must say that diff is not as trick as they say and as i suspected its all over the road, too much power for front wheel drive
