Hot Ford Focus RS named Best Used Car
Other awards went to the Mitsubishi Ralliart FTO (Sports Car), Audi A2 (Supermini), Jaguar XJ (Luxury Car) and BMW X5 (SUV). Award ceremony presenter, former Top Gear star and used car expert Jason Dawe said: ”These awards are special because the owners and drivers of used cars in the UK have decided them – not a panel of journalists, critics and motor industry ‘gurus’.
Built between 2002 and 2003, the Ford Focus RS is powered by a 2-litre turbocharged engine and accelerates from 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 144mph. New, the blue oval hatchback cost 20,264, but you can find a used one for 11,000. Auto Trader is the number one destination for buying a used car, with more than 380,000 advertised at any time.
