goes without saying, but doesnt alter the fact that, whilst its mightily impressive, 250+BHP (and the torque produced) is too much for FWD

Depends on what you class as too much though, for someone whos not too interested in 0-30 in the rain it is not really a problem

Fwd is flawed but it doesn't mean it isn't fun

FWD is awesome fun, who cares if you have a problem or 2 out of tight corners

more than a match for four wheel drive in most conditions no matter what the non believers think :cool:

From a longetivity point of view a pair of front tyres is generally cheaper an easier to replace than a gearbox, clutch or diff.

Seems to be a hell of a lot more powerful cars popping up from all areas now. :cool:

Need to avoid peak HP though, its the delivery that tends to cause FWD problems. Its not like that Focus has 300bhp at any rpm where you put your foot down.

Yes if it has a nice smooth power delivery then it could be one useful Focus
