Ive driven an ST 2.5 Focus. I prefered the older Mk1 RS tbh. The ST just felt a bit of a fatty. MPG was shite as well.

The MK 1 RS will hold its money a hell of a lot better too.

I thought the ST was a good budget hatch but it only lasted 3 1/2 months before I moved it on.

C30 T5, better MPG than the focus, same platform and a better looker IMO.

I have a ST now! Great sounding car, very comfortable and are an absolute bargain now!

A stage 1 remap puts it to about 260bhp! And plenty of options available!
