FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK Review
Review vehicle: Ford Focus 2.5i RS

If you like your cars to look like a British Touring Car saloon racer, then look no further: the Ford Focus RS. Not a car for the shy and retiring, the big, bold and brash RS does little to hide its explosive 300-odd bhp.

What's hot

• Just awesome, awesome performance...
• ...five-cylinder turbo accelerates you into hyperspace
• And its engine warble sounds glorious
• As does the deep and booming basso exhaust note
• Phenomenal grip from large 19inch alloy wheels
• Helped by Ford's 'RevoKnuckle' suspension...
• ...This prevents 'torque steer' (front wheel wander)
• Although you'll still feel the steering tug and squirm
• Bucket seats provide racing-driver style support
• Hatchback practicality means Focus RS is versatile too
• Remarkably hushed while cruising
• And also capable of over 30mpg

What's not

• The ride is firm...will get tiring over rutted roads
• CO2 emissions means it's expensive on company car tax
• High insurance banding (but you knew that)
• It could severely damage your licence

Road Test Rating
The Ford Focus RS is truly compelling. Put your foot down and you are propelled from the real world into a fast-moving video game. And all this blistering performance in a car that that costs just over 26k and one that will also take your weekly shopping. For fast-moving entrepreneurs look no further.
