We lads I went and had a look at an RS focus mk1 today, my first time driving one and have to say I loved every minute of it.

It's not at all like my STi prodrive Impreza but then why would it. But I love the looks, the mods that the lad had done where all perfect and it drove perfectly. I just have to sell the prodrive and if the RS is still there when I do I think it'll be the one I go for but there is a standard one that I'm going to look at to.

But I am sold. I will buy an RS.

 

Very good cars for what they are, i love mine
Never generally hear anyone that's owned one say a bad word about them either which has to be a good sign!
Unless you're really keen on keeping one standard i'd go for one with the basic mods already one as they aren't overly fast bog standard and the initial mods add up and can cost a bit!

 

The one I looked at had the airtec front mount, blue fin super chip, K&N filter and the batt relocated. A forge dump valve and a full SS exchaust. It also has a great alarm to protect it all. All in all around 2000 worth of extras.

Love it just have to get it now.
