R32 V's New Focus RS

[Peskarik]

To be honest, I would put money on a standard 1992 Escort Cosworth being as quick from A to B as a 2007 R32 and lets be honest - All BS about interior quality and build aside, people buy the R32 for performance, grip and handling. If someone wanted MK5 Golf quality, build and anything else a MK5 Golf offers, they would buy a cooking model 1.6:)

they want R32 for performance, grip and handling...and quality build and interior
othewise people would by a go cart with big engine

Think this should be another thread that shud be locked...they are starting to get a bit annoying....

A bit of good discussion is where this forum should be going. I'm enjoying this

The thread will die off when everyone's had their say anyway.

The Focus RS may end up being a fast car, but the owners will still end up with a Ford and look like kn0bs in them

I mean really, for £25,000 i'd rather have an Audi A4 1.9TDi S-Line or a used R32 Fully Loaded.
I very rarely put my foot down so having that extra bhp is not necessary for me. What is, is relaiability and a quality build.
I'll never buy a ford as long as i live. Rather have a vauxhall

Lol. This is quite funny. Putting the badge snobbery aside for a second (VW fans are fairly renowned for it), if the Focus RS ends up with the S60R engine and all wheel drive, it will make mincemeat of an R32.

£25k or not, one of the reasons you buy an R32 is for performance, grip and handling. If the ford does this better for the same price, then it is a bargain. Remember that Escort RS Cosworths are still around at way over £10k despite being 12-15 years old. If it wears an RS badge, it will have achieved cult status immediately as well
