The Rs Focus is awsome please dont put it in the same class as the megane.

As Ash said its not ever going to be as good as the cosworth but it definately comes close.

and yes it is the best hot hatch by far

The old focus rs chewed up scoobys on the track, so imagine what this will do with revonuckle suspension and 300 bhp. Renault megane cant be compared to the new Focus RS, just too outclassed. Will be the best hot hatch by far, but not better than the escort cosworth though

Lovin my ASTRA VXR , bought it a 18 months ago as in “my” opinion is the best lookin & most power for your £ . But Ford look to have something special in this car . I think i know what I’ll be trading up to in 18 months time , the FOCUS RS .

Ford r definitely onto a winner here. Currently own a focus ST and will b buying an RS come March hopefully. From wot ive heard from capito, the team at Ford sounds very quietly confident that they have made a car that can compete with the subaru and evo X. They even said that it performed better than 4 wheel drive system which is why they didn’t consider it. They did not say it was due to cost. Im very xcited. The new technology developed for the front wheel drive system sounds impressive. Afta the RS, people will know that front wheel drive too can b up there with the best of them….. jus lk at the tym the megane r26 r has set round the ring……..

Snobbery aside, I do have a lot of respect for Ford’s european division. Since 2000 they’ve been making rather good cars. I expect this will no difference in that regard, despite its fundamental disadvantage of FWD setup when compared with true performance cars. Nevertheless, much of their target demographic won’t know the difference and this will undoubtedly sell well with big numbers to wow the kappa wearing 15 year olds down the Dog and Gun. The RS cosworth of the 80s would still outshine this methinks. This is a car Ford need to do well. And it will. God help Essex.

It’ll be a good time to pick up an ST as I suspect their prices will tumble; bet their owners are pleased….!

yes it probably will be the next best hatchback aslong as it can put the power down. I have put an order in for the car. it says on your article that green, blue and white were the most popular colours, they were the only colours to choose from on the order sheet.
