Wow, only 17 p0unds for the wheels. These might be a good performance option vs the stockers. I'm still not sold on the 20s for everyday driving, but these might be a lot better. Its sunny out here in Colorado today and for the rest of the week. Pretty crazy. I'm thinking super mild winter again.

There are lots of focus RS around here brand new in the lots being advertised at 1700 under msrp and a little button that lets you make an offer. They still have another year to go. I want to see type R's for sale sitting in lots though, but there is just so much hype about this car that it...

Ouch. Yeah, that would make me sick.

The first ding always hurts the most. I get it. I've been there so many times with new cars. Your going to hit lots of rocks on the road so this won't be the last. You can't keep them perfect unless you put them in your garage and let them sit and thats just not practical. Even collectors have...

I may have to end up with the toy version if they don't start producing more of these things. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know about you guys, but my plan is to have 2 cars. The type R (if I can ever get one) and a jeep. Life is more fun this way. I'm guessing most of the people buying one of these in Co are going to do the same unless your employer lets you work from home for a week at a time during the...

The rumors are they are putting in a 1.5 liter instead of the 2 liter in the new focus st. They are claiming more hp, but it will probably come at a cost. Big turbo with a small displacement engine isn't ideal, but I guess we'll see what they come up with. The low end torque of the st is what...

I still havent seen one of these anywhere. I'm trying to decide if I should just trade my focus st in for a white one before they switch to a smaller engine in 2018 to get or just wait till the summer of 2018 and try to get one of these things locally for msrp.

I had a speed 3 with a mech limited slip in the front with summer tires. It was outright dangerous and as mentioned above I couldnt go 10 feet on an icy road trying to get out of my driveway. I had to have 3 people push it back in after I slid down to the bottom of my street because of the...

Winter is here in Denver. I'm not sure how all those people that bought one are going to get them off the lots. Summer tires with 20" wheels..... I've tried that before and it was a mess. I went about 10 feet before giving up. These things are like hockey pucks on ice. For all of those thinking...

Some people are in it for a lot more.

It will be fun, get great mileage, 4 doors, and the insurance so far is reasonable. Your not being irresponsible at all. I say do it if you can. You only live once.

Crazy. All those honda commercials aren't helping either. Its just going to get worst. I won't buy a car unless I test drive it and I'm usually looking for a deal. Looks like I might never get one.

I saw another different commercial yesterday for the type R. Even though this may get more people to the honda dealerships, its going to create more demand for a car no one can get. I don't remember this much marketing going into the focus RS and it was still hard to get one for the first two...

As long as it fits into your monthly expenses why not keep it. You can't take it with you.

I'm in the same boat you are here in Colorado. I have decided to just wait. For the first time in my life I would buy a car for msrp, but getting one here in CO is just not feasible right now. I'm driving a focus st with a tune until I can get my hands on one and I'm agreed fun factor is there...

Hopefully they are planning on more performance oriented cars and hopefully this teaches them that there are a lot of people that really want them. Problem is though that electric cars are starting to gain steam and it won't be long before many manufacturers have to start making big changes. As...

I guess its a good thing they won't even let me test drive one at my local dealer then.

After seeing the progression of the Ford Focus RS I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. You just have to give it time. In 2 years or so we will hopefully see these things selling for less than msrp and there will be plenty of colors to choose from.

I guess that's a good point. It seems like as time goes on though this car is going to get more and more popular. It could be a while before I can even see one in a dealer lot.
