You and me both... V6 S is still North of £50k... Maybe in a few years... *sigh*

Depends if you are talking new or not - I know it's not new or indeed even in the same target sector of the market but for circa £30k I think I'd rather have an ally bodied XKR (preferably in full Portfolio spec) - IMO looks better, definitely has more toys, more comfort for day-day use/long journeys and more power, although admittedly no 4WD, automatic (although with paddle shift) and perhaps not quite as much fun down a twisty B-road...! I know which one I'd want to live with long-term (and yes I know I'm biased! )

There are also 5.0L cars with 510BHP on Autotrader for circa £30k (this one has just over 20k miles, barely run in!) or perhaps in black :dance:
My point being, if you don't HAVE to buy brand new and have that sort of £ to spend, there are some seriously (more) interesting cars out there for around the £30k mark if you cast your net wide... Like this AM Vantage or THIS BLACK BEAUTY
Clearly though you have to be able to afford to run it too
Yeah.......running costs/repairs on THEM car's would be horrendous.....love the Aston........Jag old hat.........that Focus will be faster than both,cheaper to run,cheaper to road tax,cheaper to service...etc and most of all, far more modern/reliable and is marketed at a diiferent age group than the cars you mention above.
l wouldnt buy the MK3 RS Focus either, that MK3 VERSION WONT HOLD ITS VALUE AS MUCH AS THE MK2 RS has........plus the MK2 RS Focus still looks better IMO.........As for a 350bhp output :eusa-think: thought it was around 315bhp.....leaving space for a special MK3 RS Focus 500,Anyhow it should be cracking beast to drive....and l dont see it costing any less than £34/35k at launch.......

I priced my Z up with all the extras and options, it would have come to nearly £32 K retail new. I paid £18 K for it 11 months old. :eusa-think:
Just sayin :eusa-whistle:

I went with my son who already has a mk3 Focus St, the RS is definitely on the radar now! we was fortunate to have a personal showing which was excellent, managed to get some interior pics as well... got power confirmed at 350bhp!
350BHP...oooft!! You're not going to get more bang for your buck for the money of the RS. It's certainly a bit more grown up than the last incarnation and you know it'll be awesome to drive.
"Ka light"...it TOTALLY is!! :lol:
I'd love to see your interior pics if you don't mind sharing?

Mustang V8, 33k. Clearly my choise if I were to go down Ford's path. My next choice will be next year: a Jag XE (with proper jag petrol engine) or the Alfa Giulia.
Awesome exhaust note :thumbup:mrizzle said:Oh crikey...it's freaking monstrous!! This may well be the next car!! http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/vide ... 2015-06-24
