If the search for your next vehicular purchase has ultimately led you to the hot hatchback segment, we here at Lamarque Ford Inc think you might like to have a good, long look at ours, the 2017 Focus RS.

Yet, why is it we feel like we do?

Get the need-to-know info from AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika; his assessment of the Focus RS is as follows:

A shining example of Ford's mechanical mastery, the Focus RS's turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is at once a beauty and a beast.

Syncing with a six-speed manual transmission and standard all-wheel drive, this turbo-four dishes out a dazzling 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.

And we'd note that we're also pretty pleasantly surprised by the Focus RS's fuel efficiency, as it's estimated to achieve 22 mpg combined (19 city/25 highway).

To learn more about this stylish spitfire, or to take one for a spin, we suggest you set a course for our Kenner, LA location. Our automotive aces are on hand to address your every query about the Focus RS, or any other Ford model within the current lineup.
