big ben 10 Posted September 20, 2010 the mk1 focus RS interior is far too chav and plastic for me :pukeright: i do like the look of them but a corrado is in another league in my opinion... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 20, 2010 Never driven a Focus RS so really hard to decide on that front. Depends what you want out of a car though really! I can't imagine the VR6 is as capable as the Focus on the track or in a sprint... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 0 Posted September 20, 2010 As good as the Corrado is i wouldnt be getting rid of a Mk1 Focus RS for one... Of course your going to get biased comments on a Corrado Forum, easiest way to decide if a Corrado is what you want is to drive one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big ben 10 Posted September 20, 2010 well its comparing a "done" up family hatch back compared to a classic sport car, so off course we are biased :D seen some real nice focus RS projects on detailing world, will try and find them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corozin 0 Posted September 21, 2010 As good as the Corrado is i wouldnt be getting rid of a Mk1 Focus RS for one... your off your head, what you been smoking tonight :lol: I'm with Big Ben. If you live your retro cars enough, then just save up the couple of grand you need to get a Corrado as a secondary car and just buy it to run alongside the Focus. I love my Corrado (like the idiot I am) but dynamically it's in the dark ages compared to something like your Focus RS. Even a Clio 182 will murder a Corrado both dynamically and in a straight line. You'd have to be bonkers to sacrifice the reliability, build quality and pure pace of a Focus RS to replace it with a Corrado, but then who am I to accuse people of being mad? I've spent over £20k in just 4½ years keeping my loved piece of retro on the road. The gearbox and clutch both fell apart last month... Fingers crossed you think the decision through a bit. :nuts: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
