Hi guys, I'm sat here with a mate of mine strongly considering an frs as an upgrade from his ST. Is there anyone in the Bracknell area with an RS we can have a look at and a chat about ownership? Interested in knowing more.

Cheers

Jon

Completely different,

One is a much more comfortable 300bhp car

other is a much more hardcore type car with 212bhp

0-60mph roughly the same, but the mk2 pulls much harder after that
MK2 handles better although I do like the character of the MK1 and still handles like its on rails
MK1s are getting old and need some TLC, parts are getting rare and expensive
But a low purchase price of the MK1 is alot of car for the money

Also is dependant if you can live with the real look at me looks of the MK2, or prefer the more subltle look of the MK1
The MK1 is quite rare now with only about 2500 in the UK now

MK2s have been taken up to around 500bhp
MK1s generally reliable just above 300bhp, some taken to 400bhp
