advice needed please

Jaye Martin · 27-09-2007, 17:53

I dont know much about cars..and need some advice please........I am in two minds whether to buy an 2004 RS Focus or an 07 Focus St.
Which is the quicker car (assuming both standard) What are the services bills likely to bolt me up with?

I am coming to the conclusion that the 04 Focus RS will hold its price better and be more desirable ..but I need you guys to help me decide . I like 'off the line performance' and as my mate has a Focus ST if I buy the RS ..I dont want to be rinsed
Thank you

You certainly wont get rinsed mate, The RS is a quicker car than the ST, and when it comes to corners theres no contest.

I have a RS over a ST anyday, they do hold there value far more, and look better too.

But drive both see what you think, at the end of the day your the one whos spending the dosh!

I Had The Same Problem Choosing Between The Two But Rs Is More Of A" Connected Driving Style" Where As The St Is A Little More "comfy"
Rs Will Hold Value A Lot More
St Has Cheaper Services/parts

How Many St's Do You See In A Day Compared To Rs 's
I'd Go Rs All Day Long

I went for the RS over the ST for the pure fact in 3 years ST won't hold its value!
