Comments from the seller
Lots of power, torque vectoring all-wheel drive and pops and bangs from antilag to bring a smile to your face.
Bought from a Ford dealer in April 2018 and had all services done at the Ford dealer. I have driven the RS, mostly for commuting, up to its current 77577kms. My first job was a car detailer, so the car has always been maintained very well. However, being over 50, I have decided to settle down and go electric. Therefore, it is time for someone else to appreciate this amazing car.
If you are into cars then you most likely already know about this iconic car. However, it does need a few enhancements to make it perfect.
Enhancements:
* Mountune suspension springs - Black linear springs imported from US. Best change I have made to the car. Pogo effect from original springs has gone as these are specifically tuned for the RS. Also, 2cm lower for a better look and flatter cornering without feeling stiff. The height is just right for the look and for not scrapping on speed bumps.
* Mountune hardware for m375 or m380 tune - high-flow induction kit, suppression chamber, and uprated turbo re-circ valve. Better sound and reliability from hardware but car never tuned. Mountune stated the ecu is too recent and they didn't have a tune for it. There is a new setup for the tunes which might work but I didn't bother as the standard performance was always good enough for me. Of course, there are other tuners around that can work on the RS but I was interested in the m375 as it was an option from the dealers in the UK.
* Mountune short shifter and aluminum bushes for the gear linkages - Now very positive gear shifting and bonus of not hitting the air conditioner button when changing into 3rd or 5th.
* TSW forged alloy wheels - Even lighter than the Ford forged wheels and a wider offset. The offset is exactly the right amount for the car without scrapping on the guards. Also much easier to clean than originals.
* RS gel badges - for rear spoiler, front and rear bumpers.
* Viofo front and rear dashcam with gps and hardwired kit - Can be set to record when parked with a cutoff upon battery reduction.
*** Car comes with ALL original parts.
This 2017 Focus RS came with the correct head gasket from factory. It also is the first year to come with the sync 3 head unit with Android Auto and Apple Carplay.
OTHER FEATURES:
This car has LED tail lamps, leather gear knob and 19" alloy wheels. This Ford Focus RS has rain sensor wipers, leather steering wheel, hill holder, keyless start, bluetooth connectivity, USB audio input and leather seats. It has satellite navigation (GPS). Using the multi-function steering wheel, listen to your favourite music and answer calls without taking your hands off the wheel. It has electric power assisted steering. In addition to all the foregoing it has proximity key with central locking and storage compartment in centre console.
Imperfections: There is a minor scratch behind the drivers side rear wheel (thanks to a shopping trolly I think) and the usual bolster wear (colour matched dye to fix ordered). Photos included.

Overview
LZ RS Hatchback 5dr Man 6sp AWD 2.3T In the small car segment, there's no such thing as an unworthy contender. And Ford's Focus hatchback/sedan range is right up there among the best with an impressive range extending right up to the mercurial AWD 257kW/440Nm Focus RS hyper hatch. At more relatable small car levels, the range (Trend, Sport, Titanium) begins with the base 132kW/249 Nm 1.5-litre turbo Trend which comes with a spacious interior featuring sat-nav, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, climate-control and voice recognition. From Titanium level, autonomous emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert and blind spot monitoring become standard. The RS has a tamer brother: the front-drive 184kW/340Nm 2.0-litre turbo ST.
