^^^So would i, first time i really see one up close weekedn and they are MUCH nicer than any Clio imo both inside and out!!!
The interior in the RS is maybe the worst I have ever seen in any car. It's all uneven and the colour scheme makes me want to call the 60 minute make-over team to destroy with an axe! Then, maybe it will look okay. Even Westwood could work his blastin'-off skillz on this effort.

Are we talking the same things here....Black/Blue Sparco seats??
If so your obviously not that great at jusdging nice interiors as the cup is hardly upto Bentley standard now is it!? Well last time i checked it wasnt anyway!!!
I was hardly being serious with the Bentley comment but in all honesty RS Focus interior is alot, lot closer to Bentley than the Cup or FF for that matter and i think 99.9% of honest, not in cloud cuckoo land people would agree.

Doubt it, even Tiff slags the RS's "Essex" interior.

I wouldnt know! but the RS has a gay button start, the idea is fine, but you can still turn the ignition key into crank mode, its just not connected! how bin scav poo is that?? gazs old punto GT was as quick as an RS, i was sat in the RS as it sat alongside up a duel carriageway! quality little tool!
Yeah cause if some tit from Top Gear or 5th gear says so then we must all agree!!!
Lol @ "Essex".
I wish my digs were as good as yours , you must be Scottish right?

I'll have to dig out my old Evo mag with the Focus RS/WRX/Clio Cup/Cooper S test.
Focus pulled a 5.9 to 60 but can't remember any of the other figures

This one...?
Yeah I can't help feeling that car must have a bit of boost tweakage. 14.9 to 100 for standard just seems too fast IMO
I own both...
I own and love both cars... but (and this is going to probably kick things off), the RS is a rare, desirable, practical and darn fast machine.
The Clio is still a clio - and the rattly build quality, constant problems, and mundane looks do ruin it a little for me.
It amuses me that every RSClio owner has 'the fastest car in the world' -- the FRS forums are far more humble if you check them out ! Someone asked about the Trophy and unanimously the FRS boys praised it. There was none of this willy waving stuff going on....

Couldn't agree more. Not been any other forums but the feeling I get on reading from this forum is that if you have a Clio Sport, you can mix it with all other cars. However - my Cup was bought for £10500 with 15 miles opn the clock. Bang for Buck - no contest, in my opinion.
This one...?
....and hopefully that ends all the "opinions"....well done Mark.
Standard vs standard the focus will win in every department, with a blufin there will be no point in wasting your petrol old boy..... Seriously rapid!
I own both...
And the RS is a better car, and noticably quicker than the 182.
Both are modified - 182 has Grp N, Maxogen, Full exhaust and uprated brakes.
RS has Full Milltek + decat, bluefin, panel filter and uprated brakes.
To 60, not a lot in it as the RS 'bogs' down a bit.
In real life driving though it destroys the Clio - and I can say that confidentally.
The RS topped it's speedo in Germany when I took it to the Ring (indicated 160) and still pulled. The Clio seems to lose acceleration far more noticably above 100mph.
The brakes are also fantastic, which does add a lot to the rapid driving experience.

At the end of the day its a Megane that compares with a Focus RS not a Clio

No its not because it is a well known fact that the press car had been tweaked

Well pardon me, or is that another "well known fact" that has been "created" for cliosport so that our cars appear better......
Downhuman makes sense, from a person who owns both.
It is so true that the RS clio is fantastic value, but the Meg is more of a contest to the FRS, in terms of speed and size. The RS clio is a different market altogether, a fantastic market, but a different one!

Lol at clio is still a clio.
So is a Focus RS actually a mondeo or have I missed the point here
Oh dont get me wrong a lovely polished RS Focus looks the bee's b****cks. Saw one about 3-4 months ago flaming the fact that my mates Monaro VXR went past it like the focus was stopped made us smile but the focus driver acknowledged us and that was cool.
Dont get me wrong the look great from the outside, but the dash is horrific. Focus ST interior in a RS would be nice! that said I'm no lover of either car. I'd have a Integra over both LOL.
