Focus RS or Mustang V8?
Discussion
Would love the mustang. Not keen on the rear end but I am sure I would get over it for a 5.0 manual V8.
I was waiting for the new Mazda 3 MPS that was due to be announced last year but apparantly they have shelved it for the moment:

Since the Mazda isnt going to happen I was rather interested when the RS was announced, but I'm not keen on how it looks like it's been dragged backwards through Halfords.
Love the Wolf in sheeps clothing affect my MK1 mazda 3 MPS has.

Easy one, Mustang all day every day.
I've been driving a LHD 2006 model all year round in all weathers for nearly seven years now and it has been the best car I have ever owned.
imho if you have the extra budget for the Mustang V8 and don't need the practicality of a focus sized hatchback then the Mustang should be the obvious choice.

Tricky one, I'd say Mustang but when it comes to V8s, I'm more of a GM man. My wife already has a Focus and it's a great little car. Costs buttons to run (unlike all my vehicles) and I've always liked Ford hatchbacks. Therefore, and because I have the rather expensive folly that is my Monaro, I'm going to say Focus RS. However, in a subtle colour, on standard wheels and with as few spoilers as possible because I'm not 12.
Horses for courses. For me it'd be the FRS for a blast across minor rural roads and the Mustang for everything else if I was in the fortunate position of having to choose between them. Looks-wise the Mustang has the right balance of menacing cool and subtlety. The FRS is just too 'innit bro' (but what a car otherwise, it'll be the hatch of choice against its less able/overpriced rivals).
