    Has anyone seen this week's Autocar yet?

    My father is claiming there is a "weren't they great" comparative article about the Focus RS and the Trophy in there. He's getting on a bit, bless him, so he may be imagining it. :?: I shall find out on Saturday when I pop in.

    My new Focus RS

    Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion: The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...

    Rear suspension

    Right, I'm about to sound like a right novice, but is the Trophy rear suspension much different to a normal 182 cup?

    Trophy - To Buy or Not To Buy

    Hi, Looking for some feedback and advice if possible, i'm thinking about taking the plunge and buying myself a nice low mileage Trophy but the one thing that concerns me is the possible depreciation on the car - ideally what i am looking for is a car thats going to hold its money fairly...

    I've found a trophy that is only 12miles from my location opposed to the 100miles+ for other Trophys i'm looking at - Great! ..but he wants £13750 for a 5000miler (which i am no way going to pay). I know they were listed at £15500 but i expect that most got them for £14500 odd? I...

    The king is dead long live the king

    Looks like the Trophy reign as 'king' of the modern hatches is going to be pretty short. New Focus St looks like a bit of a beast. And at 17.5k you cant really give the old arguement of it being aimed at a different market. Its only 2.5k more expensive, and the same sort of price as the...

    Service Intervals

    Hello all, When is the first service for the Trophy. The salesman said 2yrs or 18,000 miles which i though was a bit much.

    New plate

    Finally got my new plate sorted today. As close to Trophy as you can get without spending £3,000 on T20 PHY. Makes things look a bit more tidy I think :D
