Get a Focus RS every time, till you drive an RS you will not know how good they are. There is no comparison with the Hyundai.

Go test drive one then put your order in great car nearly 2 years now fault free ??

It’s easy to be put off reading about the negatives of the car, but all I would say is take one out for a drive, you’ll not be disappointed.

I knew within 5mins that this was the car for me. I jumped out of an Audi S5 V8 and took the RS out, it blew me away. Made the Audi feel very numb and slow in comparison.

Lamborghinis burn, Ferraris explode their clutches, VAG etc.

Ford simple installed the head gasket of the Mustang on the Focus for 2 years. Lastly a small percentage of cars have a wandering front end if they encounter the perfect storm situation, A small percentage.

All are / will be WARRANTY fixes, so no real worries.

An Absolutely awesome drivers car

Go for the RS, test drive one and your see what we all love about it. Had mine over a year and smile every single time I drive it. It’s not perfect but nothing in life is.

Best ford  ever, had several over the years. Yes there are some issues but will be sorted out eventually. No problems with mine at present, had recall letter regarding the head gasket failed the pressure test but all parts on back order, plus loan car for the two days. Looking to get fixed in the next week or two.?

Second all those comments, not the fastest hatch around but certainly the most fun by some margin. I am loving mine as a daily steer ?.
