Each to their own.I wouldn't worry about the RS,there's bigger fish out there to fry.

the RS was Clarksons choice (of course he slagged the Subaru) VBH had the Subaru, they didnt run head to head apart from round the 'circuit', and you have to admit it wasn't exactly scientific, they both overdrove most corners and finished level.
i Know i couldn't do any better but not a real comparison.

Easy answer is go and buy an RS and stop moaning
Ask yourself why you bought your Scoob! Did you buy it to be faster than any specific car? Me neither
To make a REAL difference on the road you better buget for another 100 Bhp under your right foot!

The reason why Clarky prefers the RS is so he can get on the buyers list for a new GT40

And if I had the option to do the same...I'd also say the Focus is better than the Scoob

A little something to remember - Clarkson thinks the Focus RS is fantastic on track, and a liability in the real world. I think this is probably a pretty accurate observation.

Where are you more likely to meet an RS?

He picked the Scoob over the RS when he did a comparison on Top gear.
Sounds like a change of heart to get on the GT40 list
