  • Has anyone got a 09/11 Focus RS

    I have been looking at them but was just wondering are they all the same spec or could you spec them up? What should i be looking out for.
    Any info would be great

    Speak to mr/mrs G John first!!!!!!......

    Before you buy one speak to Graham John,his good lady has a green one,but they have had a few problems with it,I was thinking of getting one myself,but i might give it another year,just to find out the problems with them,my series one focus rs is still putting a smile on my face every time I drive it even tho it's 8 years old now,but I love it!!!!.....

          Mr Johns car had a simple problem, it just took them a while to find it, the cars have very few issues really, a little heavy on front tyres but then again they have a lot of work to do, the hardest choice is what colour to go for?? an awsome drive and she sounds like an old audi quattro when she gets on the money, go get one!!

                    The car is Awesome and well worthy of the RS tag, every drive is a pleasure.

                    I did have a problem with the car which was a pain in the backside, however the biggest issue was with the local dealership who clearly need a lesson in customer support and customer relations. I eventually had my problem resolved by going right to the very top of the tree at FoMoCo


                    as said, a fantastic car, and a pleasure to drive

                              I've seen your car a couple of times going down the M1 near Leeds. Was it owned by Ford?
