Sensational drive, storming performance, unbelievable traction, decent ride.
Cabin doesn't feel special, driver's seat mounted too high.
Ford hatches a new performance icon.
The huge brakes, outstanding dynamics, effective diff and life-saving ESP headline the standard safety specification for the Focus RS.
But should all that fail to help, there's the peace of mind that the Focus comes fitted with twin front and side airbags, and curtain airbags. Better still, the Focus is within Euro NCAP's top 10 safest cars ever tested, achieving the full five stars for occupant protection, four for child protection (with Ford's approved child seats) and two for pedestrian protection.
A Thatcham Category alarm and immobiliser are fitted as standard.
