Ford Focus Rs mk3

LoLz, , What can i say, i got fed up with waiting for a 4 wheel drive Cupra R, and dont look like the Golf R400 is coming , so i jumped ship
Congratulations, going to be a cracking car, i currently have a 2015 Focus Titanium with Sync2 and Nav as a temp company car, done 11k and not a squeak or rattle to be heard. Feels really solid.
Am really tempted but havent seen one in the metal yet, RS dealers are few and far between in West Sussex. What colour did you go for, the choice of 4 or 5 isnt great and the light blue i’m not sure about - shame it doesnt come in Red or Deep Impact Blue.

Thanks The Dealership in Crayford Kent have a black showroom only demo coming next Weds. Im unsure on colour yet, either Black or that Blue lol.
see i too believe that the RS will be special, but if I was gonna spend £30k on a ford...
The salesman at SMC ford said they had preorders for 80 mustangs over their group.
did the old pcp check on them, its the same monthly payment as an new S4 due to the expected depreciation lol maybe ill get a 3yr old one for £13k 
I actually like the standard Stealth colour too. Black alloys and painted calipers will look great with that. What's with the £1k lux pack? Those are all items that I'd expect to be included on a top end model.
Anyway all irrelevant because I'm sure you won't care if it's Austin Princess beige once you turn the key and get moving.

Il use the Cupra 280 sc as the down payment, thats if i dont sell it first.
Well you wont be disappointed.
Just driving through Worthing and let what looked like an RS Test car out of a side road and it was in front of me for about 3 miles.
Was in what looked like ‘Blue Print’ a colour that was available on the ST170 for a short time, darker than the Nitrous Blue and solid.
Anyway the car was in the full RS Kit including the Euro (non UK) spec Fog light on the diffuser. Was a 15 plate (with just Ford uk on the plates). Black tape on the wing mirrors and White code numbers on the windows. The front black part of the spoiler looked like it had seen better days - almost like when they pulled the disguise' off it pulled off some of the gloss black leaving white patches. Didnt have RS wheels looked like the Titanium X wheels and either the driver was very small or the seas are set very low. Car itself didnt look as big as i thought it might with the kit.
Best thing about it was the sound - it sounded amazing, it you want to get noticed this is the car he accelerated hard and changed from 1st to 2nd (pop a the gear change)
Funnily enough saw a Monsoon Cupra a few mins later, looked lovely but blended right it compared to the ‘RS’.

I would have been interested mate but I've just bought one today
iirc you are also on RSM with a 250 and I did see the post about you trading in the Cupra but I thought it would have been next year.
I think so too.
But I would still choose the Cupra.
Call me mad, but I like how understated it is. You don't know it's quick until it leaves you for dead.
