All this ...for how much?

Very economical and quite reasonable, Ford assures us. Don't forget to add local taxes.

But.....its still a ford focus. For me, I want a fast car that sounds and looks wicked.

Wow, that's a lot more than I paid for my 2016 Mustang GT with Performance Package. I guess if someone wanted a zippy four-door Ford, why not?

Spend $40k on Focus.............trade it in for $10k. why? CUZ FOCUS.:lol:

lol

To me it is an upgraded focus but it doesn't have enough upgrades on it to be $40k. If the interior were a little different from the regular focus I might consider it more.

I think the exterior is pretty BA and so is the engine and AWD.

Sounds like great performance, but it is an ugly little duck.

Ford Focus RS is in competition with the Honda Civic Type R, the VW Golf R, and the Audi R32.
All of them are priced in the same ball park and are based on an 'econobox' foundation.
The pricing really is shocking for what you get. But that's what makes car racing!

Next time I come up on the road to a Ford Focus RS, I will give him the thumbs up. :ford:

Its $35k

A 35k Focus RS is a unicorn. Easily 40k with the expected ADM.

Its $35k

Still that's an Ecoboost + $10k($11K in my case) or a GTPP. I think it's an amazing car and will probably whoop exotics on an auto-x course but the price is just too high IMHO, As much as I like it, I prefer the looks of the Stang.

The base MSRP is $36.6k, if you want the cool blue color that's in all the pictures, the 19" forged wheels and the nice interior with Sync it's $42.9k. You will be pushing $50k with ADM.
