Everyone’s real jazzed on the Focus RS overall and I respect it for what it is, but I can’t help but think that there are better ways to spend $40k. The color is fucking awesome, though.

Why not wait for a Volvo V60 Polestar to pop up used and inevitably wildly depreciated instead? Twin scroll turbo I6, same paint color. More comfortable interior, also not a Focus.

Didn’t know that was a thing. Sorta cool. If the RS is that rare I’m not interested in fighting or paying a premium to get one.

its cool on paper.  
for how long it was sti/evo…now its sti/evo/rs…all are small awd turbo econo cars that have base models around 20, but cost 40.  
cool if you’re 25, but super dorky if you are an actual human outside of a car forum.

i vote …supergay/10

…unless you want a bright blue hatchback with a big spoiler.

I have no idea who either of those people are, I just googled MONSTER HAT, obv.

I was going to post a picture of 10,000 mudflaps, but I found this much more comical picture instead. Behold:

Although I am a huge fan of the RS, I too vote for throwing a tune on the R. I know you probably aren’t into modding that car in any way but I think going stage 1 would be a nice way to get some more daily enjoyment out of it without changing the resale value or spending much cash. Those things just have so much potential.

I really just want a new body style range rover HSE but don’t want to spend the money… ha

I also like having a car that I don’t care about. I probably won’t buy anything.

Honestly Id wait this one out. With Subaru supposedly coming out with an AWD turbo version of the Br-z, Honda has a few things in the works with some type Rs and mazda with a few new things as well set to hit within the next year or two. I appreciate what ford is doing making a somewhat fun car that isnt a damn fuzion but honestly for the money, its still a ford and a focus at that and i just couldnt justify that kind of coin and say i enjoy driving a focus lol.

I’m sure it’s only a matter of time till people buy the ST for 15k less and swap a bunch of parts to make an RS on the cheap.

Super nice car either way, even the ST too! I wish GM made a cool small car.

The 2012+ Focus drives very well for an inexpensive car.
