We lads I went and had a look at an RS focus mk1 today, my first time driving one and have to say I loved every minute of it.
It's not at all like my STi prodrive Impreza but then why would it. But I love the looks, the mods that the lad had done where all perfect and it drove perfectly. I just have to sell the prodrive and if the RS is still there when I do I think it'll be the one I go for but there is a standard one that I'm going to look at to.
But I am sold. I will buy an RS.
