R32, good look, but thats about it, they are not fast and they weigh as much as a tank, now the focus....
Now we are talking......

Focus is my choice having driven both cars.

Hard one.

There isnt a winner IMO.

Buy what suits you as although there rivals both have strong points in totally different areas.

R32 is understated with brilliant build quality and reliablity.

RS has the RS badge and would be the best drive (performance wise) by a long shot.

I'd go for the R32 no question!
Went to look at a FRS a couple of weeks ago, and it never did much for me

i love the frs, but i think the interior is quite tacky.....the golfs interior is better built imo.... Its the interior what put me off swapping my escos for one last year

Yup, couldn't suffer the interior either! as soon as I sat in it I said to the salesman, "well that steering wheel is going to have to go for a start, then looked at the blue strips through the seats and not realising that they were all like that, it was a big NO

The ST is just a normal production model and will depriciate as such.
The RS was a limited run and has that al important RS badge.

I think Focus RS prices are coming down but at no where near the rate of a 'normal' car (45%-55% of purchase price in 3 years)
