orhyslewiso Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 New to this forum so Hi to everyone :) Im thinking of getting a new car in the next 6-12 months. Im looking for something that has plenty of power but also is bigger than my current (fiesta zetec s) car. My budget is anything up to £15k. This has left me with only two choices, either the new mk3 Focus ST but would be a 2012 plate or the older Focus RS mk2. Which would you go for ?

chrisroberson99 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 MK3 ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic113 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 both good choices but I would go for the mk3 ST for a every day driving choice. But both are a win win lol! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmetallica Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 mk 2.5 focus st3.i had one just awsome machine .i like the interior of the mk3 but the sound just not the same . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Don't think you'd get much of a mk2 RS for £15K whereas you'd have a lot more to choose from with an ST. Cheapest real RS on eBay when I just had a peek was at £18.5K. That might change once Ford are closer to releasing the mk3 RS but you still may be waiting a while before mk2 RS prices drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 MK2 RS is still strong money, I think it will be for a while yet, If you did happen to see an RS for that sort of money I would be worried there might be problems with it as it would be that cheap for a reason. I had the same thoughts a while ago, Either an RS or the MK3 ST. The RS obviously holds its value very well, even if Ford bring out the new RS I think it will still hold its value for a long time after. I am still not sure if I like the MK3 ST. I think if I do end up going for the MK3 ST it will have to be the estate version. preferably in white or black, First choice would be white though. But as John said, The MK3 just dosnt have the same sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orhyslewiso Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Its a hard one I get what your all saying for your money you get a much newer st and if you get a rs for around 15k it will properly have issues, I think I will get an st as I cant stretch any further than 15k and I will have a newer car that is still very fast and less chance of any issues :) thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
