I'm giving some pretty serious thought to the Focus RS as a car that will still carry the 3 kids in the back but I can have fun with. We have room for a 3rd car so leaving the Odyssey sitting in the driveway is a serious option. We were looking at getting some nicer luxury cars but it makes more sense to spend more money on two cheaper cars but get we actually want. Meaghan is looking at some of the smaller crossovers from Volvo, BMW, MB and others and I've always wanted a pocket rocket.

My sister drives a Focus (not RS) and the back seat is fine for 2 adults or three kids.

I think if you buy an ST or RS you get a free racing school day here:

Well they want a markup of $5k (or over 10%) on the RS and that's very hard to justify. Fuck. Maybe I just wait a year or two until they are in wider production.

I'm not going to lie that MB is sweet but I'd be very concerned about an eBay 10 year old second hand car.

I should have been more direct and asked where he is based.  The Ford looks European to me.  I do not know everyone here.

Thanks, Dreadhead.  My apologies for making the leap across the pond...

At that price point and AWD I like the Evo in the same size bracket.  The Sti is interesting if one doesn't find the wing offensive....although the WRX is no slouch.

Interestingly, I can beat up on quite a few fast RWD vehicles on a road course with my Jeep SRT given the AWD (of course the huge Brembos, beefed up suspension and 6.4L with 8-speed and paddles don't hurt) despite the 5,150lb curb weight.  The vehicle is a pig, but there's a lot of joy taunting a Mustang...  AWD FTW.
