As per the FRS insurance thread.
That's the FRS premiums on their way up now.

Not sure this has much to do with the car, just one of those things.
Still laughing my socks off at people slagging these cars off. Drive one, then see how you feel.

Not slagging the car off at all, just think the colour looks horrific. I'm sure it's an excellent car

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the car , merely driver error by one of them . Still a bland colour combo , black wheels is soooo 2005. I think the previous model looks much better as well.

Not nice. As there is another car in the opposite direction as the Focus it might suggest it was the Toyota that fucked up.
Impossible to say for sure though...

I think the blue looks a lot better in the metal than it does in pictures. Certainly better than the awful green of the last RS in my view.
Won't be long before there are plenty of written off ones of these supplying engines to other Fords anyway.

Well it was inevitable that one or 2 would end up in a shunt. Feel sorry for the owner, bet they had been waiting some time to get their hands on the car.

We all make mistakes, no one is a perfect driver.
Pointless really as no one actually knows what happened, just laughing at someone else's misfortune.

Pretty much all sold if what we are being told is true. They expect to have capacity to make around 4000 or so cars and pretty sure 3000 odd already sold.

4000 sold across Europe, 3000 of those in the UK according to Ford. No doubt a lot more now.
