    A Ford Focus RS in 2009 was around £26.000 in the UK. Same car with 32.000 miles today would cost you around £30.000. Not bad for a 10 year old car.

    That particular model from 2009 costs still 26000€ and would be also an absolute nightmare to insure.

      @@steve9087 The green colour is actually called "Ultimate Green" but I'm 100% with you on it being the colour to go for, I think it suits it's angry ASBO nature perfectly!

    I Love the MK2 Focus RS, it's a special car, and in my eyes was the last REAL RS ever produced. However it's such a shame that a 4WD option was never offered from new to the public. Ford massively missed the boat here. I honestly believe a large percentage would of happily paid the extra for it. Especially considering how strong the second hand resale price commands.

    • @Darren77771
      @Darren77771 2 роки тому +6

      Golf R is a great car you cannot argue with its performance, however they look boring as hell and that 2 litre engine doesnt sound anything near as good as the RS. Horses for courses. Dont forget the Focus RS is now bloody old compared to modern cars so performance is going to be behind now. They are very tunable though and really come into their own after some mods, just a shame Ford didnt make them 4wd.

      I agree. Although a guy up the road from where my Dad lives has one of these in Green with White rims and a load of aftermarket body kit extras, and it looks like a subtle beast. (Not in a chavy way)
