Belive the hype... all new RS
Enjoy, listen to the reasoning about the build ethic of the car and understand why 4WD just wasnt worth doing.

This thing is gonna wipe the floor with the Subaru/Mitsubishis offerings for the same price tag.

However im very much used to having a whole lot more than 300/300 in my car and already i want more. Im just greedy and want it to rip my face off everytime i squeeze the loud pedal.
If i could live with the power drop... id buy one in an instant
now if it had been RWD then that would be more like it

And what R&D has gone into the car though ? Or is it a case of Ford letting the general public be the R&D as usual ?
The reason I say this, is the p1$$ poor design of the Transit I have, Dual mass flywheel, which Ford sent 1000's of Transits out with, then didn't issue a recall, and now they are back to the solid flywheel on the current models, also the design of the front suspension legs, having to remove the bearing to remove the front brake discs, again, why ?
If the new Focus is like this, I will feel sorry for anyone that may get all the costs of repairs because of poor R&D.
As you can tell, I have had some real cost issues with my Transit as of late, and if that is anything to go by, Ford would be a long way from my choice of Manufacturer, whatever it looks like.
