This third generation Focus RS went way beyond anything a normal hot hatch was capable of back in 2015, offering what bordered on supercar levels of performance. To create it, a team of Ford's finest engineers got together with experts like World Rallycross star Ken Block. What was produced as a result was the most frantic family hatch of its period, with all-wheel-drive taming simply exhilarating performance. As a used buy, it's quite a prospect.

Great things were hoped for from this third generation Focus RS and great things were delivered. Before we tested it, our only fear was that Ford's enthusiastic development team might have created something almost too good, perfect for extreme performance on track, but less impressive as a day-to-day driving machine.

In the finished product, there are certainly elements of that - the infamous 'Drift' mode for example - but largely, what was delivered here met the brief: namely, to create the ultimate road-ready hot hatch. Be in no doubt that that's what this is. Given the badge on the bootlid, we never really expected anything less. As a used buy, you'll need to be careful and avoid thrashed and chipped-up examples. And you won't get the solid build quality of a comparable BMW, Mercedes or Audi uber-hot hatch. But find a good MK3 Focus RS, then get it on the right road, race track or airfield and you won't care about any of that. Tyre-smoking fun is guaranteed.
