I thought about a RS before i bought the RS225, dismissed it cause the running costs would be too high. Most will be out of warranty now. Wanted a newer car anyway.

Very fast cars, i like them.

Mate of mine had one on a 03 with about 5k on the clock. They look wicked his one had real bad mpg for some reason and was costing him a fortune so he ended up chopping it in for a Clio Trophy but know he want's rid of that :wink:

Theyre definetly quicker than the 225 from a 3rd gear rolling start, reeled him in in 4th though

Don't think I'd pay £15995 for a 3yr old focus, RS or not. The new ST is faster and there are deals out there which could get you a new one for nearly the same money

The 0-60 time of the Focus RS is about the same as the 225 isn't it? but they are pushing about 212bhp or something???

Still expensive for what you get, as said above the new Focus ST is out and more powerful for not much more!

Yep i'm sure they are slower or about the same, certainly not faster!
Bloody nice looking though!

thats wot drew me to it, not wanting to cause an argument but imo better looking than the megane

 

[Alex_172]

They certainly have a WRC look to em which certainly appeals to me.

With that blue the 18" five spokes just need to be white to really set it off!!

 

[geordiemegane]

yeah i know what you mean but just a little too expensive i am sorting my money out at the moment so dont wanna go daft i would have just bought it 1 year ago.... i must be getting sensible in my old age lol
p.s i'm 24 :lol:

The insurance is a killer too. I considered one but having being quoted £700 on a st170 and £500 for my meg i didnt even enquire for a RS!

 

[geordiemegane]

insurance was dirt cheap for me actualy £30per year less than my 182 at £660 but with a compulsory excess of £700 :shock:
