I love them MPV Civic type R's. Once you ditch the child seats and cupholders they really shift.
Strange how all the 0-100 times I've seen see the RS better then MPV by quite some way

dont get me wrong,the civic type r is a good car and is fairly quick but it aint fast!!!
a lad at work has an rs focus and they are awesome cars and handle great for fwd(like my coupe)!!but they aint that fast either!!the 0-100 times for the focus that have been done in mags vary wildly!!evo got 14.5 and the worse i have seen is about 18!! personally from racing one i would say about 15.5-16,and they are quicker than civic type r's!!(have driven one!!)
my fiat does(did)74 in second btw!!108 in third,139 in 4th and 167 in 5th!!(at 6700rpm)
its in the process of being butchered at the moment!!
it also did 13.795 for the 1/4 mile with just a bleed valve,a k&n and a modified airbox!when it blew up it had a hybrid turbo and boost controller but was never 1/4 miled again!!

Yer but you forgot its a Fiat so it will break down and Fall apart from the other two
Sorry but the FRS is quicker than the CTR if you are both doing err... 120 and he wouldnt make up a great deal on you as the cars top ends are close, but torque would have yah!

I dont think the Focus is worth all the extra money from a second hand buyers point of view Type R 13k Focus still 20k but if they were the same price Rs everytime for me I miss not having an RS the Honda is just a car where as an Rs is something abit more special IMO

The Fiat 20V T is an awful car!

Residual values are shocking, servicing prices are astronomical, cambelt change is a fortune, they're prone to cracking exhaust manifolds, and they're slow.

I'm with Mark - try it on with our Focus too............


Quick Reply: Anyone off ere in 2 Focus Rs's on the A130 Lastnight ? I WON
