EVO-KNUCKLE may sound like the name of a new indie rock band, but its value is in the way it deals with heavy metal. In reality it is an innovative suspension system that reduces the torque steer on Ford’s long-awaited mean machine the Focus RS. And believe me, it’s very welcome. Lovers of fast Fords have had to wait seven years for the latest RS, which is inspired by the world rally Focus. The previous model was a fantastic car but its performance was blighted by torque steer, which occurs during hard acceleration when torque on the driven wheels exceeds grips levels. Floor the throttle from standstill and the car would weave around like Bambi on ice. There’s still a hint of it on the new model, but the Revo minimizes it significantly on what is now a performer with no equal outside of the mega money supercar bracket. At £26,395 the RS is an absolute steal – so you need to keep it locked up. Rivals like the Mitsubishi Evo X cost at least three grand more while Subaru’s Impreza WRX lags way behind in the power stakes. The RS uses the same 2.5-litre turbocharged engine that’s under the bonnet of the fiery Focus ST, yet the output has been boosted from 222 to a whopping 301bhp. That’s serious punch going through the front wheels of the vehicle, and enough to propel the Ford to 62mph in a fleeting 5.9 seconds. Those who feel inclined to push for the 163mph top speed – and I am assured the car can hit that figure – would need access to a racetrack. Not surprisingly the RS design is aggressive and very much in your face. You wouldn’t guess it was a Ford Focus with its Darth Vader-style front grille, louvred bonnet vents and smoked headlamps. The dozens of motorists who creep perilously close to your rear bumper will only spot the RS badge after clocking the gaping twin exhausts and huge roof spoiler. But the Ford also has a beauty that is of serious value - the way it drives in everyday conditions. You can pootle comfortably around town at 30mph and the car doesn’t feel like a caged animal going crazy to get out. And when that power surge does come, body-hugging Recaro seats are there to cosset those up front. The car’s interior is more standard Focus with the

MEAN MACHINE: The 301bhp Ford Focus RS is the fastest mainstream Ford ever produced
A white knuckle ride to remember exception of a carbon-fibre effect finish around the dash and centre console, plus dials for turbo boost, oil pressure and oil temperature. Being a Focus means there’s plenty of space, though for two not three in rear, and a decent sized boot. A £750 Luxury Pack includes the options of Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control, air-con; automatic headlights;
rain-sensor wipers; auto-dim rear-view mirror; rear parking-distance sensors; tyre deflation-detection; and a Ford Key-Free system. On the down side, insurance is expensive (Group 19) and the official average fuel figure of 30.5 miles per gallon is fanciful, but it’s a small price to pay when you can buy the fastest mainstream Ford ever produced for just over £26,000.

TEST
with MIKE TORPEY
Value from the fringe
W
HEN mainstream manufacturers with award winning models struggle for sales in the eye of a recession you wonder what chance the rest have. Among them are the fringe players, then those on the margins of the fringe. Korean car maker SsangYong falls into the latter category. The only real chance a company like this has is to play the value ticket – and that’s something SsangYong is managing rather well. Three models – Rexton, Kyron and Rodius – make up the range and of those the Rodius MPV is a non-starter. I’ve only ever seen one in the metal and can only imagine that this behemoth of a seven-seater was designed expressely for people who don’t like cars. More relevant by far are SsangYong’s latest model the Kyron off-roader and its slightly larger stablemate the Rexton. The Kyron’s principal rivals are fellow Koreans the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento plus Chevrolet’s Captiva – and I reckon it’s a better looking car than all three. There are six models in the range and all bar one of them come with a 2.0-litre turbocharged common rail diesel engine. Half have two-wheel drive and the remainder all-wheel drive while there’s a choice of manual or auto transmissions. So where’s the value? Well at £14,995 – previous Kyrons started at £3,000 more – the entry grade 2.0 S easily undercuts its competitors and comes well kitted out to include the likes of Hill Descent Control.
speccheck
FRINGE PLAYER: Korean manufacturer Ssangyong’s Kyron model is playing the value ticket Then there’s the warranty which extends to five years or 250,000 miles. The tested model was the range-topping Kyron 2.7 SPR with its noisy but powerful turbo oil-burner that pumps out 165 PS of punch. Nonetheless it’s only capable of returning 29 miles per gallon (if you’re lucky) via the Mercedes T-Tronic automatic transmission, though that’s actually more
economical than the five-speed manual. In the Kyron’s favour is its practicality. There’s ample room for five plus reasonable cabin stowage and excellent visibility while the boot is vast and also has a concealed multi-compartment tray beneath it. And all models come with air-con, four electric windows, steering wheel audio controls and
alloy wheels. Not so good is the fiddly sound system. SPR drivers get leather-clad luxury, permanent four-wheel drive for off-road work and huge towing ability – ideal if you have a caravan. Overall this a car that has both style and substance, though even the greenest model has a CO2 rating of 191, putting it in a high car tax band that will cost private buyers £215 a year.
