2009 Ford Focus RS reviews

Ford Focus RS 2009

When I got in this car it looked as good on the inside as it does on the out, the shear excitment on my face was a picture. I set off and it drove like a normal car whilst around town, easy on the clutch and fine on the brakes, then on to the main roads it was opened up and my god it pulled like a train. I haven’t been in such a car that pulled in that way. The torque steer adds to the excitment of the drive, fighting the steering wheel that precision feeling makes the drive what it is. The cornering is surreal and handles so well, the continental contact sports wrapped around the RS rims do the job very well. The brakes are excellent although I would have expected a nice Brembo set up, but these stoppers work just as well. It truly is a fantastic car and for the £25,000 asking price it comes pretty cheap for what it is near supercar for next to nothing. Bearing in mind it is only limited to 155 mph and not able to do the 163 mph stated, for day to day driving or a thrash around Wales it is what it is- brilliant.
