I looked at the R32 Golf.....wasn't very impressed to be honest

I've just bought a Focus RS

RS4 was out of my price range.

I love the FRS.....what is it your not liking about it?

Depends really. The RS was designed for enthusiasts that would want to buy it then thrash it out on the track just out of the show room.

Kev, I'm getting another Escort Cosworth. I did contemplate the Focus RS but I think it's a bit too sanitised if you see what I mean, not extreme enough really. The Escort Cossie has always stood out more I think. It's probably not as good a car really, but it's just more of an RS I think.
And you can bet your life Lee Reynold's car is an absolute minter. I know him and the cars he buys and it would have to be good.

Get an Evo 7 for 15k and spend the rest on goodies for her!! I sooo regret selling my old Evo and would deffo contemplate getting another one. Also really like boxsters and tt's though as well but a little impractical!

FRS is a nice car, but it's a bit basic inside, get yourself an EVO

Blimey mate, that didn't take long. Thats a proper shame, personally none of the above mentioned would 'do it' for me in the same way as the FRS but each to there own. Escort Cossie would be quality + was/is my ultimate, but I just can't justify relying on one as an everyday car.

Best of luck with whatever you chose.

so that extra miles on your car Kev equates to the extra 900 quid for that one,,,17900 Plus they ARE and WILL devalue like the escos did. Now the escos has stabilised and risen...by a long way too! The FRS has years before it will do the same!

Leave it mate....i aint fussed either way the FRS would get swapped/px'd for a BMW or a boxter anyways

Kev,

you will get your money back all day long with the escort.

You are only loosing it on the focus,and you know it.

Lee Reynolds, Seriously thinking of parting with the Box in the summer sometime,possibly for a FRS. Would love an Escos but couldn't bring myself to ruin a good one by using it everyday/all year.
Will let you know if i'm selling...

No worries mate! What i meant was though, if i swap Kev, then me and you do deal for Box/FRS...thing is Kev doesnt want the better car He has the 'new car' blinkers on i think Like a bloke at work saying i could have bought 2 new cars for the cost of the cossie
