I ve currently got a mk1 focus rs and love it to bits but just fancy something newer got about 30k to spend? ive looked around and narrowed it down to either a new or few month old focus rs mk2 or a 3 year old ish audi rs4, im looking to have 3-5 years of hassel free motoring, which swings me towards the focus as it would still have warrantee, any other suggestions would be welcome

which would you guys choose and why??
cheers matt

RS4

Silly question really.
Audi rs4 all day for me.
It looks smarter, drives better, 4wd, will not depreciate so easily.

2 completely different cars, hard one to choose, would you not fancy an M3? or M5?

out of the 2above i would be swayed towards the audi if it was an avant!

i have driven a tuned RS4 and it was nice but felt heavy, never driven a Focus RS so can't compare sorry.

Mk2 Focus RS!
Fantastic looking cars, sound great, go like stink. Much more of a head turner than an rs4. No doubt the rs4 is a great car, but it sure is boring to look at. Just another repmobile.

dnt think think a mk2 rs will lose vaule that bad, mk1's r stil goin 4 over 10k. nearly seven years old.

BIGMATT1

good to see the differences in opinion, had bms before and they are good cars, was originally gona go for the audi when i changed but then i went out in the focus and was very impressed, does any one know what the audis are like for running costs, brakes and serviceing etc, the only thing that really puts me off them is the fact there all about 3 years old for 30k,usually the age when big bills start coming in lol

Personally I'd plump for the RS4 - no question.

Good choice to have to make! I'm sure both cars would make you very happy.

Can you have a drive in each to help make your mind up?

id get a brand new rs if it were me! cant beat a new car!

3i_gaz

why not an S4 then? still a quick motor, mega specced, bombproof engines, nice all rounder and keep a good wedge in your pcoekt

Wouldn't take more than a couple of seconds to decide on the Audi... but be prepared for the running costs of a 50k car.

i had a brand new rs4 cab in 06 and it was the bollox full stop...theres no comparison in the two cars...the frs i find very disapointing after owning a brand new focus st wich at 320bhp kills the frs....yes the frs would be new and under warranty but if you buy a rs4 from audi you can get extended 2 year warranty anyway and free servicing for 2 years..i still own 2 audis and imho i think they are one of the best cars you can buy...
i love my fords for thrills but an rs4 will do 180 mph out the box and is bombproof with amazing handling to boot...god i wished i could afford another one right now!!!!
cheers danny

Harris.

100% go for the audi . very good all round cars and go like stink . plus they dont stick out like the new focus Rs so you have more of a chance in keeping it

MadMac

RS4 all the way.

Nicer, better Kudos AWD and fukking fast

BIGMATT1

this is the trouble with the audi, fuels not a problem but clutchs and brakes can be massively expensive on these, i dont want to start spending shit loads on running the car

Without driving either, RS4 for me - I just love them.

yeah same here, RS4 easy winner for me!

ECOS95

RS4 if it was me. The I'm sure the RS is a good car but its not going to compare to a car that was Ł50K + new.

yellowsierra

cant believe you are asking for advise on choice on this one dude
RS4
ALL DAY LONG

RC4

ditto,BUT if it was my money i,d be swaying for a e60 m5,awesome machine my little brother just got one 57 plate,minty mint and goes like stink

Have you been out in the Cars yet.

ECOS95

Good choice, that or an M3 CSL

cossiejay

none get a evo 8

RC4

e60,s are unreal mate they just have(like me) a drink problem

matts1

doubt a 3 year old audi would bring much hassle tbh. Two very different cars, but for me, the quality of the audi would see me going for that.

I am sure the RS is a great car, but something I think after 6-12 months you would be tired of. The Audi will be a more refined sublte car but would see it as an easier day to day car but then has the balls when you want to give it some.

My a3 is a 55 plate and feels like new at 35k on the clock.

It's Czech Mate

Focus for me.

The running costs would be loads less which would be the clincher, and I love hot hatches.

Also check out the grouptest in this months evo, arrived today, golf vs megane vs leaon vs focus

They clearly LOVE the focus despite its flaws and the 'in gear' times really tell the story of why the focus is such a rapid car in the real world

Graham88

Focus RS for me!

Oranoco

Focus RS is shit hot












But RS4 gets my vote too

Mk2 Focus RS!
Fantastic looking cars,

try again mate, ugly as fuck

DazS1Turbo

Had a drool over that last week - a stunning car in every aspect

Id have to drive both before deciding if it was my cash - ive heard that the RS4 is easy to drive and doesn't feel as fast/savage as high power FWD/RWD cars

Id probably got for a MK2 RS in green - such an awsome sight on the road
