Total Chav car though. I would imagine it oversteers like hell too.

It does oversteer and weights a ton. Top Gear test ran it. Just saying its an improvement on the last focus RS.

I don think you will find many chavs that can afford one of these.

I see plenty driving Focus STs.

The money is much better spent on something German for sure.

This, As long as it ain't a chav audi or a BMW you can't go wrong, VW R32 or 4 motion all the way.

I test drove a couple of r32's

The problem with them is that they're quick, but effortlessly quick. The engine is low revving which takes some of the fun out of driving. You can be flying past traffic at 100mph, but the drive is totally uneventfull.

I also test drove a new bmw 330d before finally settling on an audi a4 3.0 TDI quatrro. Lovely car with a ridiculous ammount of torque and grip, and had that remapped to 283 bhp, so it doesn't hang about either.

I've always had german cars and will do for a while i should think.

I've seen a few of those focuses, but they really do very little for me.

My first car was a Polo GTI old shape. Loved that car. Did look at the Golf GTI's etc

But i went for the last addition old shape Civic Type R. Great fun and quick for a 2.0 200BHP. Recaro seats as standard :D

How much did you pay for that out of interest?

Bought it from a Honda Dealer. Had around 24,000 miles on the clock 55 plate.

Just under £11,000 but its a premier addition.

how do you do on fuel?

My better half's car is a 2 litre sports and it serious drinks petrol.

£20 gets you 150 miles lol.

It's a lot heavier than yours mind, hers is a hard top convertible four door job.

I wonder if they will do a new one, I must say I really like the new shape although I have noticed that all german cars are starting to look the same!!

Some spanish and italian ones as well!!

V DUB have done a R36 passat that looks the dogs and goes like utter stink. Not sure if they have plans for anymore W8's, but VW have always done weirdly small runs of varying cars. You know they did a W12 in the pheaton?

The rear-windows leaped up with a touch, like frogs in a dynamite pond. The white canvas top ran up and down like a roller-coaster. The dashboard was full of esoteric lights & dials & meters that I would never understand — but there was no doubt in my mind I was in a superior machine.
