2018 Ford Focus RS

The third-generation Ford Focus RS is a truly outstanding hot hatchback, as it offers an agile, rally-bred all-wheel drive chassis, punchy turbocharged 4-cylinder power, and a mandatory 6-speed manual transmission – all in a usefully compact footprint. This particular Focus RS touts some great factory options like 19-inch forged wheels, a limited-slip front differential, and heated front Recaro seats – and it’s almost completely unmodified. It also boasts an amazingly low 2,300 miles from new, which further adds to the appeal.
