Anyone Seen this months TopGear magazine (March edition) Jeremy's drive of the new Focus RS

Looks the muts nuts in the pictures and makes for an interesting read, it even kept a Ford GT in its sights with a stig at the wheel in the winding roads of France

Quote from Clarkson "The Grip is Excellent. Better than Excellent. Even an Evo X isn't going to pull away from it"

First Review sounds good then, wanna wait and see what others think! (other Reviews)

If people want i could see if i can scan the pages and post em up

yeah i've got it, quite a good review, he seems to really like it. think the choice of comparative car was wrong though.
mind, it'll never be good enough for some people, not 4wd, too expensive, blah blah blah.

mole, when does your lease on the fiesta run out? frs time?

and yeah iv seen it, got a subsctription thingie for christmas for it. i personally love it, dont care what others say. its quick, looks stunning, and wears a 'rs' badge. nuff' said.

only quickly read it in tesco before i was told to put it down or buy it but it looks like it can shift a bit

can the Ford GT corner though? wouldnt be a fair comparison

Catch me on Facebook as I'm rarely on here.

Did nobody see 5th gear last week where they road tested the RS? Lovely engine sound.

Not sure about the EvoX comments having looked at the stats though. But either way, it did look pretty nice! The owner of Pumabuild by me will more than likely get one so there'll be one knocking around here for me to play with - only problem is he mods his cars and puts soooo much power through them His ST is 455bhp

Yeah, they also posted a video before the show which was called "Guess the car", and watched that and the feature on YouTube, but was just curious as nobody had seemed to mention it.

at the end "buy it in blue" much rather have the lairy green. looks a bit boring in blue and white compared to it.

Me want one or at least an ST again, in the fifth gear vid you can hear the bangs and the squirrel mincing sounds

looks minted in green and it seems to be gettin good reviews everywhere i want one
