We’ve written much about the staggering performance of the Focus RS, and how it’s packing in an industry leading punch with both specs and class-leading features. But beyond this there’s also the topic of costs when insuring such a meaty vehicle, in addition to the security that that comes along as standard with the RS.

Getting to grips with Insurance

The Focus RS has always made for a lucrative draw for would be car thieves; not only does the current version come with a price tag of nearly £30,000, but the beefed up performance of the car additionally makes it one that is easy to shift on to a black market full of eager buyers. Keeping your Focus RS fully insured and as secure as possible is then a consideration for any owner. The RS boasts the addition of a Thatcham Category 1 alarm. This sophisticated bit of kit will protect your vehicle from the moment you double-lock the car.  Should anyone so must as attempt a forced break-in, or if the alarm system detects inside movement, then your RS will let you know all about it in ear splitting detail.
