No doubt they are better looking and a lot rarer than the Subaru. But my original question was, in the real world on damp,crap road surfaces (which for 330 days a year they are lol) how do the two compare, is the focus really worth 6k more and only 3 years newer? It may sound like I've already answered my own question, but I would just like to hear peoples opinions who have owned the two. My head says stick with what I have, The rest says get the RS. your hear for a good time not a long time
