How many Focus RS owners over 50 ?

[ian2144]

i'm considering the purchse of a new Focus RS, at the age of 54 this is rather a late mid-life crisis. I don't do bikes and a Caterham to extreme.

So a hot hatch that can mix it with the best of performance cars out there has got to fit the bill. After reading just about every road test and article about the RS, all good, bar the odd chavy remark.

My local dealer will have a demo avaliable at the begining of September so looking forward to that. Having been a quattro owner for more years than I can remember....... and a car with out five cyilinder would just be wrong.

there has to be a few of us older car enthusiasts out there that's going this route?

Ian, I'm 52 and having loads of fun in mine, had it for 3 weeks now done 675 miles weekends only driving,I hate it when its put away for another week,
I don't care what poeple think of me driving a hot hatch, they are the one with a problem not me.
Always had fast cars, in the 80's it was the XR3,Capri 2.8I, the 90's RS Turbo, RS Cosworth's,
This decade its been ST220, Focus RS mk1, Monaro 5.7 VXR, Focus ST'S,
So go for it you won't regret it.
