Buying a Ford Focus RS Mk3 in Scotland and driving it back to Cornwall! Hot Hatch or Hyper Hatch?

Since Ford announced the all-wheel-drive, 350bhp Ford Focus RS, well… I’ve wanted one! To me, it is the spiritual successor of the Escort RS Cosworth and, from the look of it, the final RS (for the moment anyway) to be produced by Ford.

This year, I spotted the right car… problem is, the car was in Scotland and I live in Cornwall! In this video I share my collection, first thoughts and long drive home in my Ford Focus RS Mk3.

Lots more content to come with my RS Mk3 as I share my ownership experience. Also, subscribe to be notified of our videos on my Mk1 Focus RS and various other Fords.

I hope you enjoyed the video (sorry for filming a short section in timelapse!!).

Thanks for watching.
