The rs4 was fast!! But the focus is faster top end! The focus would b faster through the gears but struggles with traction.

dan, with all due respect....but..... NO

fords by definition mostly belong to chavs, same doesnt apply to audis

fords by definition always go wrong, again does not apply to audis

my S4 went 310km/h, u can do whatever u like to a focus it will never ever do that.

and to top it all off, wheres the luxury in a ford ? do they even know what leather is ??

The Focus RS IMO is more desirable right now than an RS4

What a superbly styled in your face car and rare

Good choice Micky, if I had your money id be making the same choice

Like clarkson said on Top Gear.....you can now buy a BMW M3 because all the cock ends are now driving Audi's.

so on that basis, the Focus is a better choice than the RS4 if you dont want to be branded a complete ray ban wearing tail gateing tool lol

NICE FOCUS, love these in white!

Nice car mate,I would take the FRS everytime over the Audi,just wondering if the FRS haters have ever been in one,might be fwd but they do pull really well,and grip isn't that bad an issue

Which style RS4 did you have? Was it a straight swap?

My friend had a very similarly specced FRS and it goes extremely well. It's lovely to drive whether pottering about or giving it hammer.

I found it was surprisingly good grip and traction.

The JWR map is MILES better than the bluefin he had first!

As said. What RS4 did your swap? A B7 V8 version I would guess as the bottom end of that Market is similar to Focus RS money?

Both nice cars but your in something thats gonna depreciate a lot quicker now.

Here`s his RS4, so you can decide for yourselves , as you can see it wasnt exactly a shabby one either, just remember the running costs(anyone been to a petrol station recently?) brakes, suspension compinents etc and the fact they tried to double his insurance, and to be honest the Focus is a lot quicker anyway, check those seats tho !!!!
