The Focus RS is a car of expectation and history, but it drops into a market that does have excellent competition. We gathered the three other AWD, 300hp cars available for around $40k, and went to a favorite road in search of fun. That means we dusted off an Evo X to stand alongside the Golf R and enduring STI in this showdown with the shiny new, nitrous blue, RS.

Rarely have we been this excited for a comparison. And after driving them back to back, the results were not what we expected.

This is a longer version than was part of our first season on Cable.
