New ford focus RS

[NooBish AbbZ]

Enquired about a test drive this evening. Little bit cheeky that one of the boxes (not required) on the 'request test drive form' is occupation Sat in one a few weeks ago, and it didn't feel comfortable, but they're so stunning I'm willing to give it another go

Good your sorting the car security, sadly that appears not the issue these days, fix or ensure your house security is even better. Thieves don't try and nick the car, they go for the keys in your house. Trust me I know we had a break in last week they were only looking for the RS keys, that was at mid morning, we were out and they didn't find the keys or take anything, you could say we were lucky. Okay Ghost doesn't need a key, but you don't want them entering and they won't know about the Ghost system.

Nothing wrong with the seat comfort must be your a***... LOL ( I have the optional shell back Recaro)

Is there still about a 12 month wait if you order one of these ?

 

[Richie]

Wait time is around 4-5 months max now...

A little Forum meet up today

We had a Frozen White as well, arrived a bit later and had to park opposite.

That car park has the biggest spaces ive ever seen, also i thought the RS's had bonnet vents? I also quite like the look of the nitro blue, the other colours look a bit boring (sorry if yours is not the blue one).

Wonderful pictures

The Mk2 FRS had bonnet vents, the Mk3 doesn't.
Yes mine is the "boring" Magnetic Grey (Same as Gibbo's Mustang) .. The Light one, is "Stealth Grey" Actually I usual get comments it's the best colour

Boring? Magnetic is the best colour by a significant margin

Cheers I thinks so, in all light conditions it takes on a different effect and looks great. Not regretted my choice so far

I most be going mad as I really did think the RS came with bonnet vents...

Agree that nitro Blue colour really stands out...

That's why I was confused. I was 100% sure they did.

Sorry but you were 100% mistaken.... MK2 had the vents, a few people have done a mod to the Mk3 and fitted them, which personally I think look naff.
Nitrious blue stands out for sure, just a bit "common"lol

Yep. Out of the blue, light grey or dark grey it'd be the dark grey for me.

The other two colours are black and white. Black looks a bit featureless and anonymous, white is quite good, sadly out of shot, next meet we want to get one of each colour and line them up for better photo shoot

Another vote for the Magnetic Grey here.

Isn't the blue something like 60% of the total colours (I'm not sure how many colours rs' are available in).

Last I heard was about that, may be little less now as other colours picked up after launch.
Nitrous Blue(£745), Magnetic grey(£525), Stealth grey(£0), Frozen White(£250) and Shadow Black(£525).

The lighter grey is second favourite after blue for me. There's an ST in the lighter grey across the road from me and I think it looks fantastic.
