Throughout 2016, the Ford Focus RS has dominated PH headlines - debate around the first drive, the twin tests and the Fleet updates have been animated to say the least. So when the opportunity arose to compare the new RS with five-cylinder predecessor, there was not a moment's hesitation in accepting.
Here Matt compares the two blue Fords on road, attempting to discover where and how the new RS has improved on the old car. Crucially too, there are a few areas the Mk2 shows up the Mk3. And just in case his gurning face doesn't give the game away, it turns out both fast Focuses are quite entertaining...
But which is most fun? That's the question to answer here. Which would be your choice? Are there any other heritage comparison you would like to see? All comments and feedback are welcomed!
