the focus rs gives out the most amount of fun and practicality for the least amount of money in the market. yeah the mazdaspeed 3 is a good car, but the body of car, meaning the exterior is so thin. my friend has mazda3 hatchback, and the metal they used is so thin, just try leaning on it and it will bend. and furthermore its about the driving experience, the focus RS handles like a beauty. and the mazda is all over the place.
the subaru isnt a rival because its 4wd??? ROFL thats like saying the gallardo isnt a rival to the f430 ... not the first time ive heard bs on these vids tbh lol
I think it's shit that ford is an american company but Ford Eu has so much more sophisticated and exciting cars. What the hell?! I blame it on the unsophisticated and unexciting americans who would think it's other worldly. Fucking Billy joe! Ruined it for us all! I would soooooo buy a mondeo and a Focus Rs. But until that day I'll continue to oogle SL500's.
Then why didnt you buy when you had the chance? Contour/Mondeo was a sales flop? Dont know how old you are but the was the sierras/Merkerus they were a sales flop. I agree the products Ford Europe has are better, but in many ways they dont sale. Cost is a huge factor. This as someone pointed out is 30K euros??? 25K pounds... Thats fifty K plus for a focus. I know it would be sold cheaper here, but its still a lot.
No you didnt, I did! Sales flop, they couldnt sell their euro cars here. They tried? Maybe things have changed, but we wont know until they try again.
I'm not a fan of Ford and have always bought Japanese for my cars. This car is really making me think otherwise. It has an incredible "wow" factor to it and it is very hard to believe Ford has done it.
mazda 3 mps vs ford focus rc / mazda specs 0-100 6,1 sec , top speed 250 but goes 265 . 38 k of torque and costs 27.000 in greece / fords specs 0-100 5,9 ,top speed 263 , 44 k of torque and this car cost in greece 40.000 i think the mazda is better ....the ford engine is 5 cylinder 2,5l and turbo work with 1,8 bar the result is 300hp mazdas engine 4 cylinders 2,3l and the turbos work 0,4 bar result is 260hp ,, think if mazda haves a 1,8 bar turbo oxaoax/// i think the mazda is much BETTER !! :-)
yes man you right the rs is very good car better from mazda but the price of the mazda is very low fords price is very expensive and both cars in the statistics is very close but i think the rs is not in same category of the mazda like the ford st ,,, i think the rs is in same category with audi s3 - the new evo - the new impreza and in this category the price of the rs is very low 40.000 full full extra the rs ,,,,, the evo the scooby and the s3 is 50.000 + euros the mazda and the rs is both-
What an idiot stating that there's no competitor! I'LL PUT MY MAZDASPEED3 AGAINST THAT RS! After all, the MS3 has been at the top of it's class since '07. Before you respond by telling me to F*ck off, tell me this: Can the RS blow my $23k MS3 GT off the road given the RS's price tag? Sure, it has a cool POWER button that I've always wanted...but compare their specs and tell me how I'm wrong!
Oh, so you respect their "assessments' over a normal person like me...while they drive cars costing over $300,000. SO that's the perspective you are willing to agree with. Have you driven or own a Mazdaspeed 3, car of the year by many publications? Oh, did I mention a $23k car vs a $36K+ car with very similar style and specs? Look, all I'm saying is, I'd like to see a head to head review...nothing more, nothing less. Until then, I think you are just ignorant sheep, believing the hype.
Sorry mate, but i was lucky enough to drive the RS at Ford Central Day and it pissed all over the Mazda. I've driven the Mazda and it felt quick but the RS is ALOT faster than Ford Say it is. They say 0-60mph in 5.9 but it felt more like 5.3. Its a serious Motor and Mazda have nothing on it.
Since you have a MAZDASPEED3 you probably live on the safe side of the Atlantic where no Focus RS suddenly will appear in your rear mirror. FYI: Car prices in Europe are much higher than in the US, the cars sold here are also much better. There's absolutely nothing wrong with believing that you have the hottest hatch in the world. And God bless America.
LOL god bless america I agree about cars being alot better quality in europe i just went over to Germany almost every car there is super clean and just looks like pure its better over then than in america especailly the BMW's and Mercedes(taxis lmao!)........

@tigercrap No offence intended, but the Mazda looks awful. It looks ordinary and has no road presence whatsoever. Also doesn't handle the bends anywhere near as well as the Focus RS...........
Simply stunning!!

Forget the statistics dude, your missing the point..........put the 2 cars next to each other, and ask 10 people what they think.
the focus rs would win hands down
I mean..just look at it man, its pure porn star, you have just got to love that styling.

The Mazdaspeed three is a nice car, but Top gear hated it.
