A3 3.2 DSG S-LINE!
Mate of mine has one on order as his new company demo car. As soon as I'm let lose with it I shall post my findings, the last Focus RS he had was fcuking awesome and was running 345bhp when sold on.
I'm expecting big things from the new RS![]()
It's not for me, does that spoiler actually help keep all that power down on the front wheels? No, so for that reason alone I think it's stupid, it just looks like another Maxed focus with an ASBO and it probably runs on Stella.![]()
Prefere the looks of the old focus rs![]()
escort cosworth is far cooler
red to red black to black blue to bits
All Ford RS cars are cool.

Looks nice enough...... until you look at the rear! Worse than the Renualt Megan, lol!
"If somethings not broken, keep fixing it until it is"
Looks good, but defo not a Sub-Zero car. Gets away with been cool just coz of the rear diffuser and the fact it's green.
But can't help but think it looks a bit squashed.

2001 Audi A3 1.8t Sport AUM
I'm not speeding; just driving enthusiastically...
i like it it would be nice in black with nicer wheels ......but i agree with that kid below it should of been four wheels drive or rear wheel drive defo not front wheels drive but i do like the look of the car in black with a set of 19" it would look nice and aggresive

Looks too much like the new Lancer to me.
Looks similar but drives nowhere near as good
