Have any of ou driven a Mk1 RS Focus?
Excellent cars with the LSD. A bit of left foot braking required to get it to hook up out of tighter corners and the power can be raised for not a lot of cash.
Built quality would be on par with the ****ty newage quality to be brutally honest.
I first test drove a MK2 RS Focus over a year ago and didnt like the vague steering but that was down to me having it on the lightest setting! Again it's a great car and if driven well is very rewarding with great build quality.
Instead of slating a car try driving it! Don't just go by what you hear on top gear or read in a mag!!! See passed the Subaru badge!!! There are alternatives!!!!!

Owned a Mk1 Focus RS (2930) and thought it was one of the best cars ive owned, The handling for a FWD car was brilliant and once rolling would give most Impreza's and Evos a run for there money. Mine was running 280bhp and 310lb/ft with stage 1 mods (filter, full decat, bluefin remap) and it felt scary quick.
They still look great today, and I would have another one in heart beat, But it would have to be a low mileage minter. My old Focus RS now has 370bhp and a full forged engine build now, So id love to have that one back now!!!
Here some pics of my old one!
