Buying WRC 2017 Fiesta, Yaris and Citroen Street Cars
Ok, after watching Monte Carlo, I now know what car I'm buying.
What options do I have? I want it to look at much like their cars as possible, those body kit is pure sex. Are they street legal? Obviously, I want a street version of the cars but I want it to look as much like them as possible
Even since my V6 Wrx STI, I haven't had this much of a hard on for a car!
Should I wait? Should I buy? I've heard ordinary things about the ford fiesta mechanically. If only Suburu had a WRC 2017 car, I'd insta buy it I think.
Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback.

Just Google the name of the road car with 2016/2017 behind it and prepare to be disappointed.
The days of homologation specials are gone. So really are the days of actually referencing rallying in your road car range.
There are rumours a Fiesta RS is coming but even then it will look nothing all like these WRC cars.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

It´s obvious that many rallyfans want roadcars looking similar to the ones driven in WRC rallies.
Why should it be a problem for Ford to have a RS with wider body and 4WD and decent engine 250+ hp? Or Toyota having Yaris in same clothes as WRC car, no not exactly, but still...

I actually had my V6 STI stolen by Lebanese here in Sydney and now I drive a GTP Falcon (Australian Mustang Equivalent) and I'm going to buy another car in the next year.
This whole WRC this year has got me hyped up, the new cars just look amazing. If someone had said a few weeks ago that I would be seriously considering getting a Yaris, I would have dead set laughed at them.
I'm selling my house at the end of the year and will have enough to buy two cars, one for me and one for the wife. Have a budget of about 100k. I assume that the WRC version of the Fiesta is wider? What about picking up a Focus RS and spending some cash to make it look similar?
I know it sounds a bit childish but I miss my STI and desperately want to go back to something as fun and I've been waiting for a few years now for something that really jumps out at me. The sounds as well, It's been so long now. Call me fussy but I got to have one. I'll probably have it for 10 years.
My mind is definitely made up between the Yaris or Fiesta, if I have to wait a couple of years till something comes out that looks like them, so be it.
Just hoping you guys might know more than me.

Sadly none of the 2017 WRC cars are likely to have a road-car equivalent any time soon and certainly not in terms of performance.
Probably the nearest you could go for at present is the R5 bodykit for the Fiesta ST Mk7.

Not really, but definitely looks better.
I want those ridiculous front, side to back spoilers and body kit. They just look amazing. I don't care if it costs me MPG, I have to have it.
The car company that is intelligent enough to sell this will make a killing. As soon as people see them in the real world, they will sell. Mark my words. I want to be one of the first
Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
