From having driven a standard Focus RS and owned a standard Evo 7 they drive very differently, Focus felt much stronger than the Evo top end, which is why I was impressed the Evo was sitting on him!

I guess you've never driven a mk2 Focus RS then. 'all top end' is about the least appropriate way to describe one I've ever heard.

It's stupidly harsh given my solicitor said I was treated harshly with my 56 day ban for 128mph travelling "in convoy" with another vehicle in 2012

look at them the wrong way and they spin a shell! so to get one to 130mph never mind cruise at that speed you should be in Guinness world records

In shock at what your sayying ..I find the navara to be strong great on fuel and has to much power than a truck needs ..mine is so smooth at 130 no problem atal ...always serviced and never broke down not once ..it's a propa tank of a truck ..if you ever have a chance to take one out do it .and you will see .had my navara as my first car. Would never get rid of it ..


Anyone back me up on how much power 2.5 turbo navara has ??

Had a pathfinder from work and really liked it. Heavy on juice though. I'd buy one if the tax wasn't Ł400 odd a year.
