    Hiya all, been browsing this forum since buying my NB (Yes another one) last month so thought I’d finally register and get involved. I’ve owned a couple of Ford RS, Escort RS Turbo MK2 and a 4×4 Sierra Cosworth before I turned my attention to the Jap stuff. A few cars later I’m now the owner of a lovely Focus RS and have been very impressed so far and the car will be used as a daily so will get plenty of use over the coming months.  I’ll get some pics up when I get the chance and after I’ve got it waxed and polished for the winter.

    Ha yes a NB RS does seem to draw a lot of attention! Hmm what do I think so far. Well coming from a Megane RS 265 it doesn’t feel as quick even though I know it is so I’m putting that down to the weight and the 4WD. The ride is firm even though my 265 had the Cup Chassis I would say its even firmer than that but it’s not off putting. The road holding is astonishing, you have so much confidence in the car it’s incredible especially in the wet. It has a lovely gear change to it, its just a great thing to drive. One gripe I do have is how high the pedals are positioned, I’d prefer them to be a tad flatter if you get me rather than having to push down on them so much. I’m not the tallest so I don’t find I sit too high like many complain about it’s just right for me.

    Mod wise I’ll leave it as it is, standard. I’ll maybe get a Satin Black vinyl roof at some point but that’ll be it.
