    My car

    i pick up my new focus rs in green on the 2nd of march,looked round the car and all was good,when i got the car home to wash it i notice silver in the paint looked over the car more and found over spay inside the doors ,and loads of fish eyes,phoned up ford and they say take it to the dealer that you got it from,i said that because it was over 250 miles away could i take it to the dealer near me,they said yes,when i got there the dealer said that the car was a bad,and it would need a full respay.(not happy)been phoning ford uk and they are crap,i am a ford man and thats all i have ever had,not any more.ford uk say that they will not change the car but they will paint it do you think this is right

    My car

    Having had nearly all the fast Fords from the early escort XR3i Escort Cosworth plus the MK1 Focus RS before this, this is the Daddy!! The handling is superb, the accelaration is phenominal. In the cabin it is very good the Sat Nav been 6 digit postcode is accurate, I bought this car new in the very loud Ultimate Green with every extra and i can say it all works great. Yes it is hot on fuel, but would you buy an RS for the economy? It pulls attention wherever you go and looks the part, This car is not for the faint hearted, so if you can't stand the attention don't buy it. The Bluetooth and the voice control are about the best on the market, with the addition of the reversing sensors you also get a reversing camera and with such a large boot overhang is very impressive in use. At this time it is hard to find any fault with the car but then i like Ford hot hatches.
