Focus RS

jeannieblue

Son has deposit down on one - his is expected around October time.

Some dealers are saying you won't see one on the road until September due to an engine fault that has caused a delay in the launch..... but someone on pistonheads has said that some have been spotted in a secure compound in Dagenham.... allegedly....

Tension mounts!!

You have to pay extra for the paint...... the green is the most expensive - then the blue - and the white is no extra charge! I guess that is because you can get the white in the ST and therefore more common!

Ford employee discount is now available on it - it wasn't originally, not that you get alot off these days! I'm old enough to remember the good old days when you could buy a car with ford discount and sell it a year later for more than you paid for it. Ah, the good old days!

Not sure what group - son would know, but he's at work...

What colour will you get? And please don't have the stripes over the roof - makes the car look so cheap..........

Very tempted to go for blue but I may just go all out and buy an Asbo orange one.

I'm thinking of a nice silver one. There's loads of Focus Titaniums with ST style bodykits which would make my car look normal and blend in - and of course a nice 1.6 or TDCi badge. :D

I don't subscribe to the "If you've got it flaunt it" brigade. I prefer to ghost along and get to places rapidly but without attracting undue attention to myself.

Yep I have seen those ST lookalikes around. If I were to do this I would get a non standard ST colour focus first.

Otherwise get the ST with the MS Design bodykit which looks mint:

ST is group 17.

I like the Focus - but mine is very boring.....

After seeing the reviews, the missus has dropped the idea of a 350Z, and wants to play in an RS "as its more sensible" :rotfl:

If only you'd married me when I asked........... I would have given you the world.......... and as many RS's you could wish for....
