The rs1800 is about the same bhp but a tiny bit slower 0-60, people think it shouldnt have an rs badge because its not quite as brutal. My rs1800 has been in the family for 7 years, its my daily car, fuel economys not to bad, its pretty pokey and alot of fun, and rust wise, its almost perfect. the zetec engine is bomb proof too. Its definately a hot hatch with wayyyyyy more street cred then saxo's and 106 gti's etc. My exterior is bog standard and it might be for sale.
