New Focus Rs

[DC.]

Ultimate Green was, is & always will be a horrible colour in my opinion. No doubting you knew what it was when you seen it though. A marmite colour for sure.

Thankfully Ford did away with it this time around.

100% Marmite colour.

Don't think it would suit the new RS the same.

Has to by the electric blue from me in the new RS tho, to look at and to own.

Seen another new blue one this morning. Hopefully it stays on my commute. Cannot get enough of it!

@Mark King

Sold yours yet?

 

[Nigelo]

Saw a white one today, coming through Ards. If I hadn't seen it face on, I would've struggled to know what it was in moving traffic. And im big into them, I'd love one, but thinking now blue or Rocko grey.

Mines on order chum, not expecting delivery until April next year.
Driving an Audi S1 at the minute.

Ards eh, wonder who that could have been.
White is stealth which is good.

Seen another one in mallusk today, definitely needs the black wheels. I thought the silver didn't go with the car colour at all.

Now I am confused

Is anyone else surprised just how poor these are on fuel? I really didn't think it would be so bad! I knew it wouldn't be great but its only a 2.3 at the end of the day. I had a 6.2 V8 Camaro and the Focus is just as hard on fuel.

It has a tiny tank. Are you looking at the MPG or the amount it needs filled?
The rear prop goes through the tank which loses fuel space.

How would you know? Mr S1.

MPG is awful even on normal mode, think the car averages 21mpg.

No worse than the Mk1 RS, and probably better than the Mk2!

 

[Gaz]

I always got more than 21mpg out of my Mk1 RS, and I didn't drive it easy either.

 

[kippermoon]

my mk2 in mixed driving does around 24ish and on a run can hit the 30's,think it got slightly better than std after some tuning.

Because Ive done extensive research before dropping £35,000 on a Ford.

Your wife drives faster than you though!

Your wife drives faster than you though!

... and my dog drives faster than you

It must have been poor research if your selling after a month of ownership

Eh? Ive had the S1 for a year now because the tax is due?

 

[Paul RS]

He's talking about your Focus RS
