Kraziekatz1 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thinking about swapping Scooby WRX for one of these. Any useful opinions/advice welcomed......problems to look out for, etc. Have owned Fords before, always seem pretty solid, reliable cars. The RS always gets good reviews.

AliveBoy Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Which shape? My brother had a MK1 RS and it was legitimately amazing, he did become obsessive over it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Kay Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Much nicer looking than a WRX. No idea if its a much better car though. I'd love one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Amazing cars, great chassis, incredible handling, notorious for awful fuel economy (17 - 25mpg), nicer place to be in than the Scooby. I liked my nephews, thought it was a great car as it was fast, comfortable and practical. No complaints from me apart from it's not a Scooby but then you know I am biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Well the mileage won't be worse than current Scooby! Does your nephew have any advice, points to look for when viewing, problems etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Well the mileage won't be worse than current Scooby! Does your nephew have any advice, points to look for when viewing, problems etc? I will speak to him and find out but generally they are great cars. Certainly have amazing road presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah out of all the cars he's been looking at this is the one I would prefer.... I honestly think this is a great choice. My only concern would be the lack of finesse that you have mentioned with regards to the BMW, Audi cars. I'm not sure what creature comforts come with the RS but being an RS, it will have a stiff firm chassis and hard suspension. It's a hooligan car so it will suit you but worth bearing in mind for Alex. Edited January 29, 2016 by Linus27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeezeebaba Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 The RS is a good car mate, go test drive one. I've always been a massive ford fan though so I'm biased 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
