Mint is not the word ...
do you still have it?
P.s what do you use to maintain the crisp red shine if you don't mind me asking

Missed my first Mica blue one, so ended up buying another
Wish I had took pics of more. Currently back in an RS with this
Really do miss the Subaru's though, especially 4wd!!

P-cressie. How does the RS compare to your old new age scoob ? I'v always looked at st's and rs's but never got round to committing to one
Jonny Park. Yeh civic ep3's are an extremely capable car in the right hands and if you've never driven one they are well worth a try and prices are as little as £2k now !!! that actual car was built into a track car in the end , then it was eventually sold and went off to sunny Ireland

The Scooby felt more raw, obviously the Scooby has alot more grip, anything but bone dry road conditions the Scooby wins. On fast sweeping roads the Focus comes into its own. But how often do you get conditions like this? Obviously the Focus is a nicer place to be and looks better in my eyes. I suppose the best way to describe the difference between the two is the technology in the Subaru is mechanical. Where as its electrical in the focus.....if you get what I mean lol. I grew up loving Ford RS's and have waited 12 years to get back in one, at the moment I can't see where the extra 10k between what I sold the Blobeye for, and paid for the focus has gone into. If I was to choose which one I would take for a blast on a tight twisty back road, which most are where I live, I'd take the Subaru.
