"This must be the ultimate boy racer..." as she trundles past the camera at 15-20mph, max.

of cubby holes!!"

I was going to make a joke about "I bet she mentions going to the shops" but she actually DID

All she does is repeat the same few sentences over and over. For twenty five thousand you can go as fast as a porsche/seats/firm ride/speed bumps/boy racer.

If women feel that they have to segregate themselves (in the name of equality ) and have their own dedicated motoring site, at least make it credible and less patronising ffs

As the camera fades out she put her foot down and spun off into the hedges and died in a fireball.

The perfect end to a bowing weview.

pointless review, like asking a man to review a sewing machine

theres a special magnet in steering wheels that glues womens forearms to the steering wheel, the same can be found when letting women out at a junction, they wave by letting their arms get moved away from the wheel for a split second, then straight back!!!

You're a vicious lot! Thankfully my skin's getting thicker by the day! However, many comments I take on board - I do have to bow down to experience and superior knowledge Many thanks to "OldDan' though: I'll be your friend forever for the one kind comment. In fairness to us, we were on a launch event and were faced with several cars to try - Kuga, Ka, Fiesta Van and the RS. Now what would you have done in my shoes - let the opportunity to drive the all-singing all-dancing new RS pass you by? Don't think so! I had a great time, but cars like these are not what we are about so please forgive inane comments. The Ford factory video might be more up your street. Now I'd better get off and take my growth hormone and perhaps now isn't the time to stop the speech therapy!

I stand by the fact it was a shit review... but I admire you for reading the thread and then still registering to say hello. I also would have made a bee line for the Focus RS if faced with the choice you were.

I had to turn that off half way through, soooo boring.

I'm not sure who would seriously watch that and find it interesting, most women i know that are into cars would find this highly patronizing.

If they let just anyone go out and road test cars for some shitty site i might start my own.... wheels for fat blokes

Can't see the problem really - sticking an ordinary woman in the car makes it appealing to the ordinary market and not a specialist market - Ford know this and it certainly will be one way to ensure that sales keep on increasing for this car.
