In the seven months since the motoring press first got their hands on the new Ford Focus RS, we’ve seen it come out victorious against its rivals, time after time after time. Well guest what, it’s time for another review but this one throws up a few interesting conclusions.

For their latest test, CarWow pitted a Nitrous Blue Focus RS against the staple of the hot hatch market, the Volkswagen Golf R and the craziest of the bunch, the latest Honda Civic Type R.

Throughout the test, we don’t only get an insight into how quick all three cars are but also how they are to live with on a daily basis and in tight city streets. Predictably, the refined Golf R is pinpointed as the car which is easiest to live with but it is the Civic Type R and Focus RS which provide the greatest driving thrills.

Which will come out on top in the end? Watch the video to find out and be in for a surprise about which is the best toy for the track.
