Basicly passed my test at 17 and got a fiesta zetec s, Now at 18 have a 200bhp s2 rst but kinda miss the newness off the fiesta, but definitly dont want to come away from a turbo!

Would the focus rs be a good contrast?
Whats their MPG at standard?

And before anyone says i can insure it

Cheers!

If you drive it like a hooligan then you can expect 200 miles from a tank.

Normal driving i can get over 300 miles out a tank of approx £48-50

Works out at about 30MPG +

You wont regret getting one, i would give it serious consideration.

All depends on wot mods u got on aswel iget bout 180 out of a full tank on short journeys and bout 250 on motorways

.....put it this way....when i picked up my one up which was std, and thrashed it home on the moterway......about 170 miles later i was 50 bucks lighter! add a chip, de-cat and a filter (265bhp,285ib/ft was wot i got!) you'll be rippin throught the juice!

this might sound stupid but what are the driving manners like for every day use eg in traffic and around towns ? thanks for any infomation

I drive mine every day and I fookin love every minute of it!
It drives just like any other Focus! But handles better and goes like the clappers

The only thing is that it may cost more than a standard Focus in upkeep. Tyres, servicing etc.. At the end of the day Ford's serviceing states every 12K or one year, so it was designed to be used as an every day beast.

Reliability may become a factor the more you mod it and move away from factory spec. As long as you have it set up by the professionals and ensure your AFR's are ok at the top end, you cant go too wrong and it will continue to be reliable.

mines isnt the best on fuel tbh, great car to drive and never breaks

phill295

I use mine everyday and get about the same amout of juice as everyone else, I do have a lead foot however so go through it quick! I have Decat and Filter but waiting for my DS unit to arrive, this will surely make me spend more money on drink

Easy to live with a day to day basis. I have done over 135000 miles in focus RS's, owned 2 to date, still love driving them and i will of had one for 5 years in march. Quite juicy though to use everyday, luckily my boss pays for all my fuel .

I get around 300 miles to a tank, averaging about 30+ also........some people say that its not a great car for everyday use, I disagree, as its got everything you need comfort wise etc.

I use mine everyday and its fantastic to drive but a bit juicy...

i put £40 a week in it and thats just for local stuff! school run etc.

I dont mind putting the fuel in as its so fun to drive
