Brian mc21 · 10-08-2012, 01:00 PM

Well her indoors is on the verge of trading in her type r fn2 for one of these.

Looking forward to it if it all works out.

Brian mc21 · 10-08-2012, 01:28 PM

Thanks Will.
We have patio doors.

Oh yes. That will be my new going to work on a saturdày car. Thinking of getting rid of my escort so it can go in the garage out of sight of the thieving fraternity.

Well Davy. You know how it is. Only I had one before I could have been tempted to her civic.

davyk31 · 10-08-2012, 03:26 PM

I would def get that stuck in a garage at night, too tempting to the little scumbags!!

sheps · 10-08-2012, 03:55 PM

Top marks fella, what a great motor

Brian mc21 · 10-08-2012, 04:10 PM

Yes Davy. Will be a bit of a worry if she gets it. Saying that its always parked in the drive and mine goes behind it with the gates locked so as I say the wee mk2 will need a new home so the green meanie can go into the garage.
Thanks Sheps. Going for a test drive tomorrow night and have a poke around it and if she gets approved for the loan it will be all systems go.

BanziBarn · 10-09-2012, 03:17 AM

I love the RS.

. Great choice.

Dave_3 · 10-09-2012, 03:52 AM

Fun, fun cars to drive. Very playful back end, surprisngly for a FWD.

I looked into getting a Focus RS when I was looking for my current car. The only thing that put me off was the real world MPG being reported across most forums. Fantastic car though! I bet it'll be a hoot to drive!

P.S Let Mountune have a fiddle with it for even more fun!

daveyM3 · 10-09-2012, 04:39 AM

Just traded mine in last week after a year of ownership. They are a brilliant car with loads of power and amazing soundtrack. My average mpg was around 28 over the year. Being a Ford they are pretty cheap to service. They do ilke to eat front tyres though if your not careful with the loud pedal. If you get one join up to the RS owners club. All the info you could ever need and a very friendly and helpful bunch on there.

Is it the Green you are going for Brian ..... seen a few about, its one of those colours that I probably would go for but at the same time its a brave choice. Reckon the RS gets away with it.

Whats the power, performance numbers on a standard one?

Slightly over 300 horses standard and can be tuned to well north of 400 for not a lot of outlay. They have bags of torque and making rapid progress is very easy. Mine was performance blue, never really fancied "kermit the frog" green

Brian mc21 · 10-09-2012, 01:04 PM

Thank you chaps the deal is done and the green meanie should be with us next week. Yee ha. Here she is.

First things on her list is have the wheels and bonnet vents done black.

davyk31 · 10-09-2012, 02:11 PM

Looks great .............. but don't do the wheels black, they look just fine as they are.

Brian mc21 · 10-09-2012, 02:28 PM

That's easy for you to say. Have you ever tried to compromise with a woman.

macck · 10-09-2012, 02:54 PM
