All these people getting the Ł500 by a certain date to get an early build.............
More like Ł500 for them to bank now to help stop them going bust! Main dealerships are disappearing so fast. Ive seen 3.....Toyota, Chrysler and Peaguot close near me in the last few weeks.
Be careful where you put your deposits.
There will be plenty of these way cheaper as soon as they launch. NOBODY is buying new cars at the moment so its them desperate to sell you a car, not you desperate to secure a car. I would be negotiating a discount as soon as its unveiled.

Just because it is not an option at the mo should make any difference at all IMO...

sorry mate but for 20K+ i would expect to be sitting on a cow for that sort of money. + 30k for a Focus? Add another 5K and you can have this

Forgot this is Passionbmw lol.
It just like saying for another 10k you could have...
IIRC a fully loaded one wont cost 30k + either.

. Shame just like the ST170 the ST225 will be remembered for being the lesser car when the RS is out. I would say that 'caus I am admittedly bias... Spose you can also retrofit the wider track and rev knuckle....if i want abmw i would buy one you are noy going to by one so thats that ive got varoius RS and the new FRS will turn heads when i go out in my mk1 FRS it turns heads as well if you have not been in a FRS i think you should you will be amazed as i was not a ouick as a cossie but you have got to move with the times
IIRC the Reanualtsport R26R is around the 24k mark isnt it? Granted its a track biased car. The RS has more power,trim spec etc and most of all qudos.
My 10pence worth anyhow

Pointless car.... FWD= Boring, still "only" a Focus. Even 25k is too much IMHO, if it was 4x4 and a genuine competitior to an Evo/Impreza then it might be interesting, but FWD spoils the whole car, don't care about anything else like revoknuckle TBH

about the key issue. i know a keyless go ST has got a key inside the fob.
you take out a small cap in the "ignition" cowlin an there's a normal ignition behind it i dnt think ford would leave you stranded with a dead fob battery.

Must admit I was a little disapointed with the spec of the new RS.
The mk1 RS is a total name slag,
Brembo brakes,
AP racing clutch,
Quaife ATB LSD,
OZ racing wheels,
Sparco interior,
I know names arent the be all and end all but i was al least looking for a nice set of sexy brembo's on the new one.
Might just be me and its not just because i have a mk1 RS but i dont think the new one is just as special,may be faster, dearer and have sat nav, heated seats etc but i like my old RS cause its more hard core,really fun to drive.
Dont think the mk1 had any options, buy one or dont lol
And Ford lost Ł5000 on every car,Ł25000 each to build and then sold for Ł20000 weird eh?
Is the new one going to be a limited run aswell?if so how many?

Fact.I am not blinkered to believe they will be the next best thing... Born and bred on FWD the car should hopefully suit my requirements.
BTW, have driven 4x4,AWD & RWD blah blah blah
