“If you can take a corner, you’re not going fast enough”

You can buy a Focus RS for under 40K and blow the doors off a 4 series as a driving car. The Golf R will also eat up a 4 series on the track. You’re comparing cars that have no business being in the same conversation, one is for a soccer mom and and an executive that hasn’t quite made it yet. The other is for someone…

Or you just need a car to do everything for you.... my Dad has one, it’s awful.

The RS soundly beat both the S3, A45 around the track and equalled the much more expensive M2.

The BMW is for the douchbag, the RS is for the driver. Give me the RS any day.....

You listed cars that cost $15K (no options) to $50K more than the RS......

Put a short throw shifter on the focus, or flat foot shifting all of those times improve..... they aren’t drag cars anyway... so I’m not sure what your point is?

Adults use turn signals, BMWs apparently don’t come with them. The M235i is possibly the most overpriced car in BMWs lineup... and there are a lot of overpriced Bavarian vehicles.

You’re paying attention to the “focus” name and not the car, maybe they should have just called it the Ford RS. It’s a MUCH better drivers car than the S3, which is the definition of boring. I have yet to drive an M2... but the RS seems to be more engaging from what I’ve watched and read.

The Focus starts at just under…

You listed 3 boring cars... the IS350? Really? Grandma wants her car back... Those things are as mundane as it can get. The RS is everything those 3 cars aren’t... and the world is a better place because of it.
