My brother has the new Focus RS on order. Not my cup of tea, but I'm looking forward to seeing it in the New Year. He keeps telling me he'll have one of the first UK vehicles. I keep telling him, 'that's what you think..'. Me? Got a new TTS coming my way next year to replace my S3. Can't say I have loved my S3 that much. Has been a bit of a let down really. I loved my last one, but this 8v has been a disappointment to me in so many ways. Tried to the RS3 and was even less moved. Aside from the noise it made (sport exhaust fitted) I was struggling to work out where the extra ten grand was going - less is more IMO, buy the S3 and if you really want more speed, remap it and save yourself a small fortune in running costs. Nope, not for me, but the new TTS? Awesome, totally in another league from the S3 AND the RS3 IMO. Can't wait to pick mine up next year.
