I'm very frustrated. There's only one Sport within 100 miles of me, drove an hour and a quarter to try it out. The salesman was nice guy, but the test drive was totally underwhelming. My Mazdaspeed 6 would have put that car to shame. It wasn't until I'd left, saddened that I thought to ask the salesman what kind of gas they'd put in it. 87 octane ("it's all we have")!!! I have NO idea how much that hurts performance, a lot I'd guess.
So, for those of you who've driven them, how does full throttle acceleration compare to the Audi S4, the Merc CLA45 AMG or the Mazdaspeed 6, or the WRX/EVO?
FWIW the dealer is taking $3k off the MSRP, even for the Sport (and only adding $4k to the price of the Focus RS they have).
