I had a brand new MK1 Focus RS for 2 years. No. 4496.
Once had a spirited drive on a back road with a Evo 6. OK, driver skill can make a difference, but no way could he pull a lead on me. Where he was oversteering, the Focus was nailed to the road.
Never known an evo to oversteer without a fair bit of provocation..Once had a spirited drive on a back road with a Evo 6. OK, driver skill can make a difference, but no way could he pull a lead on me. Where he was oversteering, the Focus was nailed to the road.

i looked long and hard for months and months at the mkI focus rs, the prices around 11k would have got you a very nice example. the only thing that put me off was the age, spending over 10 grand on an almost 10 year old car (at the time) seemed like madness.
after much deliberation, and possibly the wrong decision, i opted to go for the most modern car i could get for the money and ended up with a 2 year old mazda 3 mps.
i've had it for 2 years now, and still love the thing, they are really good fun cars to drive.
but its probably lost about 2 to 3 grand in value in that time, i would imagine the frs would pretty much have stayed the same.
i think if i could afford to have one as a second car i would jump at the chance.
