That's only truly dreadful driving. Everybody should understand, that this car is going to consume half of that or less when driven normally.
0,355 is not that bad factor for a car like Focus RS. A powerful hatchback will never be aerodynamically the most efficient car. Mercedes has introduced lately many aerodynamically efficient models and worked hard in this area. According to Mercedes their A45 AMG has a Cd value of 0,34. Not that much different from Focus.
