gangzoom Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Have been considering swapping the Z for something with 4 seats for a while..a Lexus IS-F or a BMW M5 have been on a list, but this weekend picked up EVO and saw this thing, the more i read about it the better it sounds....and its only £25K brand new!!! Going to go and vist my local ford dealer to book a test drive ASAP....oh and maybe pop into JJB sports the way back to pick up a base ball cap and tracksuit bottoms before heading off to the local McDonalds for some grub Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 hahhahaha... no your not a chav... i went to a local ford dealership myself... unfortunately i was told.. they wont be getting a demo car in and 34 deposits had already been placed... so good luck to u... it just seems a bit of a step down from is-f etc bud??? -ho Quote
Stew Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 My mates Dad has a white one on order (big ford nut) He should be one of the forst deliveries as his name was down the minute it was official! Quote
Beavis Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I have never owned a Ford or been a fan, but i do like that Quote
Shuck Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Does look nice in that this time it actually stands out from the other Focus' out on the roads. Saw a review on it a few months ago and it came across very well. Engine sounds nice too. Quote
Digsy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Fast Fords will always have a chavvy image (and following) but it doesn't stop them from being good cars. Looks like Ford have accepted that and gone all out to recreate a Cossie-type flamboyance that was missing from the last Focus RS. Personally I preferred the subtler approach but no doubt this will be the better drive. Quote
RobD7 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Looks awesome Although the performance of the last one wasn't as good as it should be, I really liked it Quote
srobrien Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Does it come with one of these as standard? Nice looking car though, but fords just not to my taste. R Quote
sunset350z Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Just don't try and beat it off the lights in our Zeds Quote
Ekona Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I'd hope you'd get at least a length on it off the lights, seeing as how it limits the power in 1st gear and it's FWD... Definitely don't try and outdrag in on the motorway though I quite like it. I don't normally lust over FWD cars, but after hearing the designer of it say that they'd rather have made a lighter FWD car with plenty of feedback than a heavy lardass 4WD lump, I can really appreciate what they were aiming for with the car.

SunsetZed Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I like it too, I'd be tempted to give one a test drive, if the dealers ever get any to demo... Quote
