Had a mate bring his new car round today , had a quick drive like you do.

Very nice , only done 900 miles, even liked the colour

I want!

Nice! There are a few white ones around where I live and they look great. Still not convinced about the green though!

I wasnt till i saw it on my front , it looks good i think .

Dogs and testicles spring to mind

Green certainly stands out as an RS

thats r8 nice see only a couple of green ones, a few more white ones and 1 blue one which someone owned where i work.

thats r8 ...

Nah it's a focus :p (sorry)

I have to say I haven't had a proper look at a green one, I just saw one going in the opposite direction on the motorway the other day. It certainly stood out!

Looks cool and minty , Bet insurance is steep though

That's reight nice? :wonder:

I would normally wade in and say how its overpriced for a hatchback... but considering the price of the golf and 'rocco R - i retract that statement..

They make a nice noise and handle well... but aint as quick as they should be...

I love what the RS acheives.

It keeps getting compared to cars that only do fun and its daft. The RS delivers all the hatchback practicalities AND is bags of fun and hugely capable. And as said, being FWD prices are climbing to silly amounts it is actually a good car compared to its ££ rivals.

But yes, its not proper fast. Most Remaped ST's are quicker. A remaped Cupra R would muller it in a straight line. And most small hatches would have it on a track, if for nothing more than its sheer bulk.

What you dont see are the engine issues however. The volvo T5 is not a fantastic engine. Cool yes, strong and capable no.

J

If i had to buy a hot hatch these days, i think i'd get one of those.

I quite like the orange myself.

Drool, Drool :p

Love the colour too! The Orange & Green ones remind me of the Hot Wheels cars I had as a kid (you know the ones that you always wished were real!)!

you lucky git! Love these think i would have to go for the dark blue colour though!

Looks like a nice car, but that colour................

love this colour and the car but lacks that real buzz needed to be 4x4 really with a bit more poke to make it really work witht he aggrssive looks

p.s there not that fast and there not great in bends. i see this like my old school report ( could have done better lol)

Very nice and not for me, Id have a cupra R or a megane cup.

There pretty impressive round bends i would say ,lovely noise but very heavy on fuel , and i miss my cupra r a lot .

I think I prefer the race blue one in the back ground. Granted it's a quick Focus, but it's a Focus....

A friends younger brother has just traded his orange ST in for a Green RS.

Have to say, i prefer the ST, bit more subtle, but i have to say, in the flesh the RS looks hard as nails !
