Maybe I'm getting old these days.
Whenever I think about travelling to a show I want comfort, all the gadgets and reliability.
The 3 Door has always been a reliable car, just silly little problems tbh, I've owned it for over 10 years and loved every minute of it. Swapping wheels, changing interiors, changing engine hoses and tanks etc, even cleaning underneath. The attention the car gets even when you are just driving along through the town is truly pleasing.
The Focus RS is much newer, has all the comforts you want, air con, sat nav (if on options), reliability, modern car feel etc. I haven't actually driven one yet so maybe thats what should be next to do.
You have really answered your question yourself. " the attention the car gets when you are just driving along through the town is truly pleasing " They are 2 completely different cars from 2 different time periods. Your 3 door is a Ford legend which will never lose its appeal or value but can the same be said for a Focus RS ? I think you would, without doubt regret it if you get rid of your 3 Door.
I have test driven a Focus RS for my Daughter,and yes of course it is smooth and very easy to drive but it just didnt do it for me . When we went for the test drive we took my 2wd Sapphire to the Ford dealers and when we came back there was quite a few of the mechanics, sales staff etc all looking at it. I spent the next 15 minutes answering questions and showing them the engine bay etc.
I have had mine for 21years and enjoyed every one of them, how many Focus RS models will still be around in 21 years time?
