NEW FOCUS RS BEATS GOLF R
Most comparison tests don’t begin on a quiet, brilliantly curved, sun dappled road in southern Europe. This one nearly ends there when, surprised to find a UK-registered Volkswagen Golf R, Ford threatens to confiscate the new Ford Focus RS’s keys from us, but that’s another story. No, this comparison test, like so many others of ours, begins when I climb into a Golf R outside a lock-up near Heathrow on a Friday night after work and prepare to drive across two countries. This is the sort of thing that could give the new Focus RS a really hard time, because when it comes to Golfs in general, and Rs in particular, familiarity breeds anything but contempt. The new Ford Focus RS has astonishing ability on a twisting road. But can it live with the pace and all-round talent of a VW Golf R? Inside Matt Prior reveals the all-wheel-drive turbo mega-hatch of choice.
