Forget Payet and the EU, if anyone is planning on buying a 30 grand car...

Forget BMW's and Mercs, great cars as they are, for this price you can't beat the 2016 Focus RS. An absolute beast (BEAST) of a car for circa 30k.
I had the pleasure of driving one recently. Yes, it's a Ford Focus, but if you're only gonna spend £30k you won't get better value. 0-62 in 4.7 seconds, top speed 160 mph.
AWD, the engineering in this machine is incredible, it listens to everything you tell it to to, cornering it sticks to the road like it's on rail. Drove it in sports mode but admittedly didn't try drift mode. A real triumph to the engineers at Ford. Ok, pretty basic inside which is where the BMW or Merc would give more comfort and luxury feeling but it you want a phenomenally fast (FAST) car without looking like a flash coke-dealer, get a Focus RS 2016.....
Unassuming, but awesome power and handling. If you're thinking of buying a new motor for around this price, please book a TD of the Focus RS, you will not be disappointed.

For £30000, I'd want to see the people someone else had left at the traffic lights in 1963.

30 grand??? For a Focus?!??! Seriously?!?!
30 grand for a massive engine in a fucking FOCUS!
If I want one I'll wait three years and pony up the 8k it'll be worth then

When you go from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds you see the people you left standing at the next set of traffic lights

My Mrs has just put us on the waiting list for a Tesla Model 3.....No idea what it is but runs on Electric and does 215 miles per charge.
Cars ain't my thing but I was supposed to be impressed.

Talking about cars, I saw an old T reg Punto on the road the other day.
How the fuck did they manage that?
Mine turned to rust in ten years.

Saul - you'll need to shop for an Allett Kensington for the garden, and a Miele won't let you down :)

Why do we not have treads arguing about what is the best tumble dryer or lawn mower. A car is only a fucking tool like many other things.

£30k for a Dagenham Dustin.! If you insist on having a mid life crisis. At least go for a Subaru. You will get more bang for your bucks. And the thing won't fall apart in the curb. Unlike a Ford.!
That is unless you haven't killed yourself in the process.?

People won't be buying cars of any sort for a long time now that we've all got a £4,320 (or so) debt to look forward to servicing in 15 years time.
That WAS an expert sourced statement, wasn't it?

Why the fuck would anyone spend thirty grand on a focus?!
I'm no car expert but I'm sure you could get s very decent second hand car for that, and one that won't make you look a massive bell end (no offence)

It's a while since we were sponsored by Dagenham Motors. Nice try though.
