Some people still love the RS's............ but Ford will make no more, the ST's are the way forward. I used to test drive cossies and owned RS's, XR's & ST's you can get a lot of car for not a great deal of cash. We all have a preference for certain makes and models, that will never change, for me I bought an 1998 ST24, 60k mileage, 1 owner, full FFSH, one comment two slight scratches on the car. I have not decided if to leave the car standard or do a couple of mods..........
