Ford, sorry for the confusion gentlemen. Still trying to meet up with a fellow forum member to sample the M2

Working for Ford I've driven the RS many times. While it has a decent third gear pull, the ride is incredibly stiff no matter what suspension mode in my opinion and the car bounces all over the road. Also the seats just don't work to me, I'm of average size and don't fit in anyway (6'1 190). I'm glad Ford made the car, but it's just not something I would have chosen, even considering the deal I would get. After having my M2 for a few weeks 100% happy with what choice I made.

On the Grand Tour track the M2 was 126.2 and the Focus RS was 128.4. 2 seconds is a lifetime on that track. My buddy has an RS, it's going to be a drag strip monster, it really suffers on the top end though.
