Hi all,

The RS500 wont be out much more this year so im looking to buy something to use everyday thats going to be fun, quick and not lose a fortune on depreciation.

Dont want to go much over 12k if i can help it.

I do about 8000 miles a year so nothing to major, what sort of mpg are you guys getting out your focus rs's?

Will be fine as an everyday runner BUT very thirsty, especially in standard form. My first tank (55l) returned 160miles! Granted the car was new to me so I was 'enjoying' the car a little more than normal driving! After Bluefin you should see 280-320miles a tank on good runs.

Neil , i know im being greedy!

I bought a Ł600 scorpio to use everyday but it makes me resent having all my money tied up in the 500 so gonna get something i like for everyday use and retire the 500 for the year. Dont do too many miles now anyway so thought a Focus RS would be cool as there value seems to be holding fairly firm.

Does bluefin make them more economical to run then?

Any ideas on MPG then?

From your figures that looks even more juicy than a Focus ST!

Mine returns about 28 average mpg depending on where i been and how i been driving it.

Lowest mpg i seen is 22mpg and highest is 34mpg
