I am with you - it is a really good car and as for twisties, the chassis of the focus is class. Couple that with the amount of testing that went in on this car to get it right and I am sure it would be a close run thing between a JCW MCS and Focus RS - both in a straight line as well as round corners. BMW knows it will have to lift the standard S's game quickly - and this can only be a good thing for us!
