As I'm sure most of you know BMW has the M2 arriving shortly. While there is a difference in price, the amount of markup being asked by some dealers over MSRP brings the two closer together and could in fact influence people to swap...
So, M2 or RS? (although I think I know which way the bias will go )
I saw a poll choosing between the two vehicles on AutoGuide. In that poll, which I assume is less biased than one posted on our forum, the Focus RS is ahead as well by about 2:1.
The way I see it, if you wanted an RS but couldn't order due to closed books, then the M2 is a great alternative. If Ford does continue to produce them in more numbers than originally mentioned then just go for the RS!
Interesting question and comparison as I have just put a deposit down on both cars. If the Ford doesn't arrive in Australia before June 2016 then I'll go for the M2. They are both amazing cars so I figure I can't go wrong.
Anyone who don't exactly need all the space the RS has, a BMW 1M, if you can find one, is going to be a good toy to consider. Great thing about them, value is only going to either go up or stay at a range that your wife will be happy with
I have a 1M track car that I will be keeping when I get my RS. Prices for most used 1Ms are still well above what they were when new. My 1M is a great track car, at least as fast as most E92 M3s.
