Default Just seen my first new RS Focus.
Apologies no pictures but sighted my 1st new RS today pulling up outside the bus terminal at Bluewater, in blue, thought how quiet it was till he pulled away giving it some beans, sounded very nice................ till the wagon started up

Also a very nice M4 hardtop in a very similar blue to the Ford parked must be the sunshine bringing them out?

Saw a gay coloured blue one the other day on the link road and thought it just looks boring.

Probably the demonstrator as they wanted me to go along the link road. I suggested Marley Lane would be more suitable

Had a look at one when I was trying to decide on a new car and as alfa male says it just looked boring.

Agree with that. Saw my first on the road today in nitrous blue, and it's very underwhelming. Looks like just another focus. They had the right looks on the mk2, just the wrong drivetrain. That said I always prefer the more lairy styling on cars.

It's just a bit too Hot Wheels for me.
Road test reports have not been great either.

The most shocking is all the huge build up to the RS3 yet within a few months it's well and truly at the bottom of the Hyper Hatch crop of cars accordingly to all the usual road testers with the RS focus and Golf R sat at the top.

If we think the RS focus looks dull the Golf is on another level of dullness.
