So how does it drive? For a front-wheel drive car the Focus RS has staggering traction considering the power being put down on the road and it just doesn't seem to suffer from under-steer at all. In a straight line, as you would expect, the Focus manages a pretty rapid 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds and 0-100 in about 14 seconds. In spite of the very leery appearance of the car, handling is actually very well-behaved with the driver remaining in control even when you put your foot down and, coupled with a surprisingly comfortable ride means as well as being a fun toy to throw around at the weekend the RS certainly has enough comfort and practicality to be used as an everyday car.
