Focus RS is a lovely car:cool: :cool:

But i would rather have a 3dr all day long,lovely cars:cool: :cool:
Rare as hens teeth now to find a good one,as all are 22/23 years old now:)
you are looking at about spending about £13.000 - £14.000 for a good one now as the price of them are always going up:cool: :D

good luck on what ever you get m8

3 door cos in moonstone,lovley,but go for a standerd un malested one!!!;)

[Martin]

I've had the 3 Door and loved it, but feel that it is a bit old now and the chances of getting a good unmolested one are slim.

If you want to use it occasionally I'd buy the 3 door (moonstone) but if you want an everyday car by the Focus :)

FRS u prepared to pay 400ish notes a year!!!

3dr if you dont mind grief from the mrs about the 20 yr old car on the drive, sorry to you focus rs owners but if you go down the Focus line then buy your self a bogo 2.0 ltr! Cant stand the RS Focus, used to work at a Ford dealer, over priced parts, over priced service, not very quick, not that nice to drive, bit on the cramped side with those big old seats!

[Frosticles]

Has to be the 3 door. IMO. :D

[npikey]

Neither m8 get your self a hilux pick up;) :D

[thedman]

If for pleasure, shows and weekends a 3-door!

If for pleasure, shows and weekends in comfort and not being scared to go round corners in the wet with the power down a FRS!

[black x pack]

Visually, has to be the 3dr. IMO the Focus looks just like any other Focus..sorry.

agree ian, tho the 3dr is getting on a bit and perhaps a modern car may be the way to go,

and eddie if you cant display the focus take your plates along and stick them on the back of one of the display cars, that way the car wont get dirty:rolleyes: yet you can still take pics of it

[FoMoCo]

3dr drives from the right end.

[cossie si]

Had a focus rs from new for 2 years. Fantastic day to day car, lisa drove it to work, she now has the st170 and loved the rs. Get a bluefin ! Great fun and can be used for fault finding codes! I've had alot of cars and can say i've never had a car that handles so well. Did 20 miles over the back lanes following my mate in his 03 m3, all over him like a rash . He couldn't believe he couldn't get away. Left my mates tvr chim 4.5 for dead on the same lanes! I love my cossie but can honestly say as a road car the focus fcuks all over it! See a focus rs next to a 3 door in the flesh, i think the focus is the better looking:eek: Pictures don't do them justice. They look awesome coming towards you, much better than the new st. Getting the itch to get another now:D Not that many problems either. Mine was an 03 didn't have seat problem. The acc cable vibrates a litle through your foot( so does the st170) but think there was a recall part. I Didn't have a single fault on mine in 15000 miles! Ignore all the bs about torque steer. Granted in the wet they spin but in the dry keep your foot in, the diff tightens up an the grip is fantastic! On a large roundabout you can feel the diff pull the car into the corner.You won't be dissapointed!;)

[JAVAGREENGUF]

YOU have just made my mind up!!!;) FRS it is!!!
