- the suspension in normal/sport is very very stiff. Turn it to track mode and it's absolutely unbearably stiff and bouncy.
- all the things I like about my ST, are just a bit better and more thought out. Things from the steering wheel, USB/12v placement, the tray in the arm rest. They did a good job I guess asking what old focus owners didn't like, and improving it.
- does not come with a spare tire, only a pump/slime kit. That's no good if you damage the tire instead of just a nail puncture...
- clutch and tranny are super smooth. Definitely an improvement on the ST
But.... Dat price doe. It feels great but for my situation it's just too expensive

I was just @ Sherwood Dodge getting an oil change on my truck, was looking at a Raptor and shooting the shit with salesman about my history of cars, he pointed out that they had 3 RS's sitting on the lot and were willing to negotiate price.
Nobody in their right mind should be paying MSRP for an RS right now, there is 124 of them for sale on auto trader, 110 of which are brand new, 44 of which are in Sask/AB/BC.
Anyone who wanted one got one, now Ford will have to work to sell the rest of them.
