Default Help please thinking of buying a mk2 focus rs

Since the new focus rs came out i have been thinking of buying one. I have a St170 which i use most days and a low mileage mint saff.

So here my problem....
I want change my st for a new rs but i dont want to sell my saff, however the saff will just sit in the garage unused if i get a focus rs so should i sell both.

Also i suppose you have to consider the running costs of the new rs, fuel etc. What are they like

Im looking for you opinions on the above situation and some advice from new focus rs owners. What are they really like i suppose i need to get a drive in one

Thanks all

Matt thanks for the comments and advice and you have some mint pictures there. Managed to get a ride out in a friends green one yesterday....... fook me they are awesome.
Thats it my mind is now made up im getting one. Going the use my saff this year and then store it for a few years or until i can make my mind what do with it. I think your right about keeping it cause they are going up in price every other week.

Also thanks for the offer of a run out,

Cheers

Get one bought mate. Also get the cossie used too. It does them no good just to sit there and not be used.

Lux Pack 1
automatic dual-zone air-conditioning, automatic headlights, rain-sensor wipers, auto-dim rear-view mirror, rear parking sensors, tyre pressure warning system and Ford's Key-Free system

Lux pack 2
DVD navigation system with a seven-inch touch-screen

Think LP2 has a reversing camera aswell.

The brochure is at the bottom of the page

The Bluetooth handsfree voice control with USb/ipod/mp3 is not part of either Lux Pack but is an option on its own.
