my ford mate gave me the keys to his RS focus earlier today and said have a good look !!!  because as you know i ve been thinking of getting one , drive wise and power i would say its level with my ed 30 , but on closer inspection the finish and fit is poor compared to vw , the RS ive been looking at will cost me £8k and my golf !!SO the ed 30 is staying until i see the scirocco  and golf R in the flesh any way ,   sorry guys should have listened to you lot  :happy2:

Sorry, but ultimately the RS is still the better drivers car than any k04 vag will be past or present.

However the k04 VAG's are the better overall cars.

Sorry, but ultimately the RS is still the better drivers car than any k04 vag will be past or present.

However the k04 VAG's are the better overall cars.

As standard maybe, and only if you aren't too concerned about interior quality and feel.

Most of the Stock RS's are touching £27-£28k and for that you can buy a nearly new ED30/Pirelli and give it £8k of mods.

Yes, I know you can modify the RS too, but you'll still be limited by the cylinder liners that limit the power, plus you are adding onto the initial outlay too.

£8k of mods will give you:-

Fully adjustable suspension - £1650
Arb's                                     -£400
Remap                                  - £600
Turbo-back exhaust              - £1100
FMIC                                     - £700
Intake                                   - £400
HPFP                                     - £400
Uprated DV                           - £150
Quaife                                   - £1500
Brake upgrade                      - £600
WALK                                    - £200
Dogbone insert                     - £40

I parked next to one recently and took some pics. I was surprised at the poor quality of details - Very plasticky but cheap looking plastics. I was also surprised by how big a car the RS is.

It's also 100kg heavier!

RS = 300bhp and 1467kg = 204.5bhp/tonne

Modded GTI = 250bhp and 1350kg = 185bhp/tonne

Phil Mc (Steve's) stage 1 ED30 = 278bhp - 1380kg = 201.5bhp/tonne

Cant agree more, it does look aggressive but it's just far too chavvy for my liking. Also come to my senses and selling the Vauxhall I bought last week  :ashamed:

Just need the damn V5 to land on the door mat and it can go  :party:
