i drove the new 1.6 ecoboost petrol turbo today, very nice car really, much quieter on the road and got a bit of get up and go about it, not like previous (small cc) petrol focuses where you've had to rev the balls off it to get it to do anywhere. It was returning good mpg on the trip aswell - 35mpg at a steady 70mph in 6th gear.

there has been talk the next rs will be 4x4 - but with an electric motor powering the rear wheels.
