No you are getting me wrong Robin, I think your car blends in with the surroundings it doesn't stand out like a sore dick ala RS, therefore you dont look like your having a crisis, and anyway your past mid life now anyways so who cares  :laugh: :laugh:

Apparently Ford got there inspiration for the RS from this beast:



How much of a bitch am I!?  :grin:

....That's so true! And very scary when you sometimes look in the mirror and see your dad in yourself!

They say that a good way to check what a wifey/gf will look like when she's older is to look at her mother - Also scary!

I'm a VW enthusiast, meaning i like VW's. I always have done, from a very young age along with the rest of my family. I believe in VW the brand and what they produce  i could afford an RS if i wanted to but irrespective of how fast it is or which colour its painted its still a ford and for the reason i wont own one. That may sound ridiculous...... brand snobbery maybe but in my experience ford are pretty poor when it comes to building cars, best thing they ever did was getting into bed with cosworth.

As said it is ridiculous to compare a focus RS and a MK6 GTI you would be as well throwing any 20-30k car/van/4x4 into the equation, in my opinion there is no comparison VW is a far superior brand than that of ford and thats where the comparison ends for me. Its only mags like What Car ect that feel the need to make a comparison and guess what MK6 GTI was at of the of the list in the hot hatch section and that was including the focus RS

Top 5 Performance Cars/Hot Hatches
1. Nissan GT-R Coupe
2. Ferrari 430 Coupe
3. Volkswagen Golf
4. Audi R8 Coupe
5. Porsche Cayman Coupe

again when up against the big hitters the lowly golf gti can hold its own with the 430, r8 and Porsches, all u need to do is watch the last 30 years of golf gti advertising to understand why the Golf Gti will always be the top dog when it comes to hot hatches. I have a mate who has a race spec SLR, F430 and a RR and guess what he drives to work in each day yup Golf GTI, was a mk5 now a mk6  :signLOL:


Isnt this ment to be a VW enthusiast site :angry015:

.... :signLOL: That made me laugh!

- Would you drive a "race spec" car as a daily to work? - Highly unlikely (though I admit I would drive that VWR race prep'd GTI which is road legal). But for most 'normal' people, no!

- Would you drive a F430 as a daily to work? - No, it's not designed for it and doesn't like traffic crawls.

- Would you drive a RR (Rolls-Royce) as a daily to work? - Only if you wanted to 'impress' someone.

- Would you drive a Golf GTI as a daily to work? - Yes, it's a great allrounder.

The choice among those 4 is a no-brainer and nowt much to do with which is the 'better' car as they are all so different. Guess what? - We've just made a direct comparison between 4 very different cars.

....It certainly is primarily a VW enthusiast site and specifically the GTI but most here are broad minded and are interested in other brands as well.
