Evening guys.
I purchased a new RS in march this year. Anyone else on here got one? Amazing car and has just ticked over 4000 miles.

It's amazing. So much fun in the bends and I'm getting around 30mpg. The launch control is a lot of fun and it sounds great. With a 10 month old, having 5 doors is a plus. I'm a fast ford fan and have been saving for a while so I suppose you could call it my dream car. It hasn't disappointed in any way.

I have a modified ST and, although obviously not the same as an RS, these sporty Focus models are massive fun. Where I take mine for maintenance there's a few RS's and they do sound great. Mine's loud enough to set off the missus's car alarm so I have to park away a bit....

Mine's loud enough to set off the missus's car alarm so I have to park away a bit.... Is it still running Proccy?   Agree with the OP regarding the practicality, great for families. And despite the moaning Minnie above (AM), they sound fantastic. I've just sold my ST, running around in an A3 now. Saving the pennies for an RS/A45/RS3 in a couple of years time.

I'm sure it's a great car. Practical, fun, comfortable etc... but the weight  345bhp is a decent amount by any measure but to ask it to push 1600kgs is a bit of a stretch. I know the engine is tuneable from having looked at the Mazda3/6 MPSs back in the day but sub 1500kgs really shouldn't be a problem...
F****** b****** thing...

Not really sure what Mazda have to do with it to be honest.
So apart from it being too noisy and too heavy, if anyone else wishes to do me a message about it, then feel free. I'm more than happy to give advice to any future RS owners.

It's ok, everyone is entitled to their opinion on a forum.
I did go for the nitrous blue with everything except the seats. I found the standard ones very good (same as the at ones). I test drove the competition and could saved a lot by going BMW or VW but being a fast ford man, there was only one winner. I love it.
Mountune currently take it to 400hp but it is not warrant approved so I'm waiting until mine has expired before going down that route.

Yeah, I've heard that is a good map to go for. Might treat myself when I'm 40 next year. I've had a few launches on it. Really good fun.
I could've got a BMW 140 for about 7k cheaper brand new. Bonkers. But like you said, just looks like a regular 118.
