MK1 Focus RS
 
Im thinking of selling my M3 and getting one of these, just a couple of questions i wanted to ask: Wot sort of MPG do you get from them, i know it aint gonna be great but i want something abit better than the M3 and also do you need to run them on super unleaded?

Also its gonna be used as a everyday car so wot sort of power is reliable, ive heard 300bhp is safe? I will have around 10k to play with, will that get me a good example?

Thanks for any help

10k Will get you a very good one. 300BHP is the norm now and returns about 25mpg. These cars are ran on super unleaded also.

Yeah love the look of this one but still debating wether to sell the M3 or not!

i struggle to get 20mpg from mine and its standard as above around 180 miles to a tank, but depending on how u look at it it aint too bad, i only ever do short journeys i dont drive to work and very rarly do long journeys so town drivin will reduce my mpgs

By the sound of it there not that much better on fuel than the M3

Really depends how you drive them. I can see well over 300 miles from a tank on long journeys, around the doors I get 250+ and on track I've had less than 100 to a tank! ;)
