I'd take the Mk4 R32 any day over a Ford, ST or RS etc. Might not be as fast but makes up for it in many other ways when modified.

The problem of changing from a Mk2 FRS is that most cars are a backwards step in power/dynamics unless you throw muchos cash at them on modifications.  Of all the things id expect you wouldnt be happy about sacrificing, id bet its grip most of all.  So that narrows the market right down IMO.  You have either AWD cars ie S3 or R32, or you have the FWD hot hatches with LSD as standard.

That leaves some tidy motors though

Megane R26 230F1


Mk1 Focus RS


Civic Type R Championship Edition


maybe throw in a wild card

Mazda 3 MPS


Those Mk2 MPS's will give a FRS a run for the money and come very highly spec'ed with gadgets inside.  Plus you get a plate differential.

Or you could get a mk1 S3



Id choose all the above cars before a Mk4 R32 tbh.  The R32 brings a lovely engine note and good grip to the party and thats about it IMO.

Why do Ford want to buy it back?

I was up buying an i pod lead, and the salesman asked if i was selling ? He said they have done really well selling the rs over the last few years although has been surprized as they havent had any used ones in as people are holding on to them, he told me he had buyers lined up for them. I think they are going to start phoning customers who bought new ones from them and ask if they will sell, im going to say no  even though they added another few hundered on to the price today

I really get on with the car and its holding its money pretty well, plus ive got a few mods ive not even fitted yet so i need to see what they are like  :smiley:

So they have offered you good money and they must believe they can make a good profit as well.

Why not try and sell it private.  YOu might make even more money

Yea im going to say no anyway mate, the rs is brill tbh beats any car ive had before for excitment - the main reason i was considering selling was to be debt free and i was even thinking of just buying a passat !!
If i never had any debt id not even think of selling it even for more than i paid for it, tbh its just i could really do with that extra £500 brick in my pocket at the moment, saying that ive only got a year to go so its only another 365 days of beans on toast to go ! And ill not be buying a car on tick again !

I bought my Golf outright with no loan/finance and used what savings I had left to pay off the loan I had taken out for the previous car. Tis rather nice not having to pay out that sum every month.

I think that you gotta do what you gotta do to make the money allow you to enjoy your ride. Once you've made the financial commitment, which surely is done on the basis of being able to meet it, then forget the money and enjoy the car. Live and learn but there's never any point in harbouring any regrets in life.

If u are making a profit on the RS then I'd sell it. Can always get another. If u are close to breaking even I wouldn't bother. Keep and enjoy it. Lovely car the RS is :happy2:

i say keep the RS but i may have a reason for saying that  :signLOL:

but seriously if you can ride out the next year and not struggle with payments keep it,  think of all the modding money you`ll have after the last payment  :driver:
