Very nice but Still perfer the RS Focus.
50K is a hell of a price tag!

Agree. Nice but not £50k's worth.

RS500 Focus and £15k change, much better proposition IMO

...until you get in and drive it. Then (i'm assuming) you forget about the cost and realise its far more capable than any Focus ****

Engine and suspension welcome but £50k and they couldn't afford a set of Recaros or some better tyres than the T1R's!

But it certainly ain't cheap to run and live with. Do a search and have a look at some of the horror stories about parts prices, insurance and general running costs.

Cheap base price for what it is. Clearly Nissan rake the money in once you have it.

Love it!
Yes I would pay £50k for one!
The 22B was £45k over 10 years ago? Who would have thought back then that it would turn into such an icon? Give the cossie a chance I bet its gonna be a belter!

Must admit 50k is steep. Lets just hope it performs how it should.

Does look nice, but after going out in a F430 yesterday, I'd spend 50K on a good F360
