McRic Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I was wantin one of those but after seein one run the quarter they don't look that quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossiecab Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 They aint that rapid but are a good all rounder. Handling is spot on and the brakes are awesome for standard, went out in one at RS National day and was quite impressed. What has surprised me is the North V's South thing in PF where theres one that ran a 14.8 1/4 when the best PF have managed in the FRS is 15.39. Pressuming it must have had some tinkering done cus thats quite a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 nice motor but recently got hit with depreciation badly not to mention they were only about £2-3K less than the RS.Six speed box though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 they do look sweet motors, but like twisted said the price was bang out on them. although this might be good in the second hand market for buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Lovely motor, was out for a "test drive" recently, when I turned up at a Ford showroom in my suit......... Love the 6 speed box, mega tight, its so nice to have a car with such a sensible amount of power and handling, would eat my Escort alive, hopefully they will keep making em with the future Focus's as I think they are a very good alternative to Honda Civic etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 sure you can get them new for around £13k now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
