New Focus Rs

[Graham]

I like my Audi and would like to keep to it if I could but the rs3 gets a terrible rating in certain places I have looked at .The fact it would be a year old car I wanted it puts me down to a 2012 or 13 car in the rs3 whereas I could get 2015 golf or maybe 2016 in the focus .How about the golf with revo ect as it wouldn't be kept standard for any more than 2-3 days lol.

power is not the issue with the golf, the Focus does't actually feel fast, i just think the focus is geared fully at drivers where as the golf is a fast family car

If i could afford to lose my job doing this stuff i would have been full hang lol But i enjoy what i do too much

Lol fair enough, I see your point.

Sneak preview of what you don't like about it.My only Question to you is ,is it better than a golf r as either is my next car .

The Focus is better. Well unless you don't like a sporty feeling car. I'd say a Gti would be better than an R.

The golf r I drove was terrible put your foot down and it had to think before it moved,and the sound was terrible. I'd be disappointed if I owned one.as for the focus they don't feel fast but you look at the speedo and you see your going well! As said its a typical rs,a drivers car.

The GTi is nowhere near the car the R is, in the same way the R is nowhere near the car the RS is.

That's what @Tinners said, cruising nicely and he told me the speed, didn't take long in covering tar...

GTI ClubSport S??

Now the ultimate Golf & sounds like it could rival the RS for driver involvement.

What about those performance pack (If that's the right term?) GTi's?

Personally I'd have the R as a daily and the RS for weekends lol

 

[Paul RS]

@Graham a Focus on H&R springs actually feels nicer than standard for some reason lol

Performance pack doesn't add much, another 12 or 15bhp, an LSD and bigger brakes. I had ordered one but after redriving the R it wasn't even a comparison.

Well the Mustang is going up to 45~bhp and up to 90lbs/ft more from Revo without any "hardware" requirements, will be interesting to see what the Focus can do considering its got a better base tune.

..sorry if this was posted before hand.

from what i know the powers will be less than the mountune power but the torque will make it a much more drivable car
