The focus will actually start at about $35,700, reported by FLD and when you add seat it will be about $36,600. Reported by C&D. If in real life it can be had for $40K even loaded. It will be a good buy. It has Mustang GT performance numbers. I'd rather buy a CLA or GLA AMG. But it's not a bad car now that I see all the features. Considering a CLA has a DCT and starts at $48,000 the dct alone justifies $for $12,000 of the price tag. I'd have to say my quality is worth saving the extra coin and going Benz... But I am not gonna knock the focus. Not bad...

There is absolutely merit in wanting to go that extra 10-20% in price for something that will feel like a complete performance car with all the refinements of a luxury car like the CLA AMG. I can attest to all the little things that add up in my Q50S coming from my Z as far as all of the interior amenities and creature comforts as well as the sporty handling that is also very refined over crappy roads. I can't imagine how much I would love my Q50 if it matched the CLA AMG's performance.
However, there are people that don't care about those things, and the Focus RS will be a fantastic car for them. I have realized after having my Q50 for a couple months that luxury sport really is my jam. I never thought I was that guy until I spent some time to experience it for myself (and could actually afford it unlike previous car buying opportunities). |

While I couldn't justify spending that much on a performance Ford Focus, I'll bet many focus and focus ST enthusiasts will justify this upgrade. I equate this as Ford's version of the STI.

It's front-biased AWD with electronic power steering, probably has significant turbo lag, and only has good driving dynamics because of the stability control programming. If that's your idea of fun driving, maybe get yourself an XBOX instead. |
