I had one and don't agree with your post, no one on here slates them. They just recognise the problems with what should have been a good car.

I find the handling, braking and overall feel of the car particularly good.

DMF, Rattles, Poor fuel consumption and a general slow feeling let it down.

I always thought it wanted another 50 horses to make it a better car - I got a Focus RS and well well well I was right. Problem with the FRS is it has improved handling, braking and suspension so also need another 50 horse to make things more fun.
