Hi all

I have had the ETA of March for my RS. Very excited :-D

I have gone for nitrous blue with everything but the sunroof.

Who else has ordered?

I have a poster on order :D.

But really, nice one on the RS they look awesome.

Bet you're looking forward to it.

My St is due this week and I know I am :D

Had my ST since last March & love it - am sure you will love the RS too :)

I wish I could afford the RS but I will be going for a Focus ST-3 in a couple of years need to wait for my insurance to get a bit cheaper xD Hope you have fun with your RS.

I may move up to an RS on my next change in 2018 but for now my ST is the dogs danglies. :d

If there's anything left of it by then :p

Thanks all!

I can't wait. FYI all you who have or just brought ST, I am really really going to miss mine.

I have a 14 focus ST3 and I adore it. The best car I have ever had and if the RS is half what the ST is I will be a happy man.

When did you put in your order mate?

I put my deposit down around July/August time and the dealer called on Monday to confirm my spec and told me ETA was March time. Ford told me that October was the planned start of build.

Here... There... Everywhere... :D

Will probably just take it on some long drives initially to get some miles on it and let everything bed in. The brakes on my current car were awful when I first got it.

Mine's got 500mls in it and yeah, the breaks are weak a bit. Dealer said it will improve.

Congrats Slupanter, it's gonna be hell of a car! :)

Alex, what spec did you go for and which alloys did you decide on?

I placed my order last week, second production run. My local dealer have said that I should get it March/April and the first batch are coming Jan/Feb. Hopefully that will mean you will get your sooner.

I've gone for:

Magnetic Grey

Black Alloys

Luxury Pack

Nav

Blue Callipers

City Stop

No buckets or sunroof.

Hey, nice colour.

Why no buckets? I had a good think about the seats and I wasn't sure about buckets.

Because they look uncomfortable, can't be adjusted for height and I'm just really not that bothered. The standard seats are so comfortable, I'd just be buying the buckets for the look, which is a tad silly. Also, my 91 year old gran needs to be able to get in it!

Did you have to pay dealer price or any negotiation?

At the moment it's full retail. There's no campaign on it at the moment. My colleague that also bought one used to work for that Ford dealership, so we're hoping to get something off. I'm not getting too worried, as I know how well RS's hold their value anyway and I think it's a performance bargain as it is.

Not your everyday passenger in a car like that :D

I can see it now - hooning around in your RS with your Gran egging you on :P

I told her that I'd bought the RS today and she just shrugged it off. She's used to me having hot hatches.

Back to the seat, they do look cool as hell. The thing that made me decide against was when I set in a new Fiesta ST. The seats we're so comfy, I could just see myself doing long journeys in them. I've been told the new standard RS seats are like those
