New Ford Focus RS 2016 In The Flesh

Does the exhaust sound better in person?

 

[rich_h]

I quite like these, a better alternative to the new civic type r. I saw one last year at FoS, nice for a Ford!

[Stefan.]

Strangely id prefer the mk2 as a daily and the mk1 in the garage...

Not overly keen on the mk3 as of yet

 

[MarkX]

Mk2 looks so much better there

 

[benhwolves]

Great pictures of the three marques together. I love all three!

 

[aucky]

I REALLY love that blue colour. It's the only colour I'd have one in.

Seeing the two together though, the MK2 excites me so much more!

 

[Mr Plums]

I agree the mk2 looks better there.

 

[Waitey]

The calibre of all those people in the back ground of those photo's makes me uncomfortable.

I was just thinking the same lol. Like a CS meet, but with more fords.
Not a single checkered shirt, gillet, deck shoes, beige chino wearing BMW/Audi owner in sight
Bet the car park outside looked like this:

Not a single self important c**t in sight

Indeed.

 

[npt]

The mk3 is much better looking than the mk2 imo, I really like it

 

[RMDavis]

Could be worse. Could of been photo's from an Audi RS3's promo event!

Loads of folk pretending they're rich whilst financing boggo spec A3s?

 

[Paprika123]

Not really :frowning:

The one I went to didn't smell like a council house so its all good.

I'm not surprised! With all the brown nosing salesman after a 'finance deal' I'd doubt you could smell anything other than bull s**t!

 

[canky]

Wow the exhaust sounds s**t.

The star of this photo is the mk2

 

[imprezaworks]

Either. But on looks Alone I prefer the civic

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

The Mk2 really shows it's age next to the new one.

Such an epic looking/sounding car. If I get a chance to buy one I will.

 

[msremmert]

I'm really liking the look of the new one.
Ford aren't going to be able to make enough.

 

[AdDaMan]

Great pictures of the three marques together. I love all three!

Theres only one marque

 

[Jekyll]

That does nothing for me. I'd perhaps change my mind if I saw it in the flesh but it looks like a design that doesn't have much thought. Kind of like a Friday afternoon design before leaving work to unwind down the pub!

 

[Herr Flick]

I like the colour. Looks too narrow.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Mk2 > Mk1 > Mk3

Mk1 is still lovely, but does look quite a bit older. The Mk2 hasn't aged a bit imo, could be released now and still be as modern as the (boring, narrow, too many doored, not as good coloured) Mk3.

 

[-Jamie-]

I went along to see it as well, Nitrous blue is stunning in person, didn't realise it was metallic.

It was all going well til they fired it up. Sounds a bit, w**k.

 

[Ian_182]

I like that colour blue.
I still think it looks great and I cant wait to see one on the road.

 

[LiamR172]

Mk2 looks a lot better as said. Although id probably still take the Mk1 out of the 3.
Mk3 doesn't look aggressive enough compared to the Mk2.

 

[-Simon]

Saw the Mk3 at the FOS last year and for me it's not wide enough and just looks like a normal focus and the five door thing still pisses me off. Mk2 I still lust after as it looks super aggressive but out of the three I think I'd pluck for the mk1. Just looks "right" from every angle. Until I drove them all and would probable flip the order back to the mk3

 

[MarkCup]

I'm surpised there's so little negativity towards the interior. Apart from the three small gauges on top, the blue stitching and contours on the steering wheel, and the speedo/rev counter dial faces, the inside of that is identical to my wife's C-Max in almost every way. I still want one though.

I seen a new CTR on the motorway yesterday and didn't think it looked to bad. Was like a matt gray colour. I might have to take a look at the new FRS when ford get one in near me.

 

[Iain C]

I think that looks spot on. So much nicer than the older ones! Id have one if i had money to burn.

 

[Jason_E]

Not too shabby that! And I'm not a Ford man. Still think the MK1 is the nicest mind you...
