The mk3 is a great car, the mk2 is the best hot hatch ever made. A legend. Soon you’ll need 50k to get one.💙

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

It's certainly looking that way. Especially for the low mileage ones.

[@scottysvensson]

Yes becuz it has Volvo 5 pot engine 😎

[@jimmyjt16]

Love everything about the MK2. It has the looks, the sounds and drama of a true RS. The MK3 is just a glorified ST IMO.

[@Weltbummler23]

I think if u use the mountune fpm375 tune (the one that didnt void the ford factory warranty) on the mk3, you’d find a much closer 30-70 time. They found a lot more torque in the lower revs.

[@desmondgasper]

So a modded Mk2 with ~25% more power is quicker in a straight line than a stock Mk3. In other news, my farts are smelly

[@euanscotland]

Everyone's favourite car.

[@rocfella]

every older generations of cars are more engaging, lively. just because of the older rugged tech. drive the classic mini cooper and u get overdose of pure driving experience. I hope to buy the mk3 during recession for a bit better price 🙂 mk3 seems to be the last focus rs

[@FocusRS500]

I disagree, I prefer the mk2 interior

[@275mtb]

My guy 👊🏼

[@James-hh1lq]

Mk3 is boring yet the mk2 is a wide arched 2 door classic RS the last of its breed

[@bristolmod]

so you're comparing a fully tuned Mk2 against a stock Mk3??....um hello.........

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

It's just what we had to work with 🤷‍

[@Mattious]

380bhp with a standard plenum, asking for issues 💥

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

Very few cars had plenum issues. A standard plenum with anything under 400 bhp is completely safe.

[@markrs59]

Very very rare plenums explode

[@posniknelb6114]

The rs 500 is 345bhp with a standard plenum, no issues whatsoever!!

[@flaviokart16]

1000cc injectors for just 380hp?!?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

Previous owner planned on going higher power but never did. Just a tad overkill haha.

[@Yii00T]

Sorry 40 what... take it it has less than 20k miles

[@IFightForOne]

You seem so biased, i own a mk2 rs but when you said the mk3 is slightly better handling? Youre kidding right?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

Not sure what you mean, of course the mk3 handles better.

[@IFightForOne]

@@ParagonCarsLondon kept saying in your video it handles slightly better? When here in Aus a mk3 rs walks any mk2 around the track

[@luludodo12]

@@IFightForOne i own a mak3 , I believe it will do much better than mk2. However, mk2 is such a unique car, the price has gone up so much and close to mk3

[@IFightForOne]

@@luludodo12 not disagreeing, i own a mk2 and i could of got a mk3 if i wanted to but chose to go mk2 for its uniqueness and character

[@euanscotland]

@@IFightForOne feels good to be a winner 🏆 I see MK3's all the time. They are okay. When you see a MK2 on the road it has the wow factor. 👌. There are faster cars. (The mk3 for example and LOADS others) but it doesn't look as aggressive as SOUND half as good.

[@dukedaz8920]

Funny isn’t it these cars where built for the masses to be cheaper than most and now coz of peoples greed u carnt afford them it’s a joke 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@OrdinaryJoe12]

Yeah, maybe some people see them as an investment rather than really like them as a car.

[@jimmyjt16]

Its demand my friend. They're highly desirable and collectable which makes them expensive to buy. Its like anything else really.

[@Carl_Mitchell]

Really… over 40k I’m sure that’s very inaccurate… most MK2s are around 18k to about 30k 🤣

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

Look on autotrader and you'll see you are in fact incorrect.

[@Carl_Mitchell]

@@ParagonCarsLondon I have actually snd found I am correct 🤣 don’t know what your talking about :)

[@Carl_Mitchell]

@@ParagonCarsLondon yes but there’s only a number at that price that has next to no miles

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

@@Carl_Mitchell you'll see two ultimate green cars there both with 24000-27000 miles on them. Both for the same price. The colour and the low mileage are the main factors in the value.
