I agree with allot thats been said, i would love an RS focus or ST225 but at the time the prices were too high, i could easily afford one now but i have spent money on my ST170 and im happy to stick with it for another year. As standard they are not pin you in your seat rapid but with a few good mods they are allot of fun to drive. Came up against a 2007 civic Type R the other evening and saw him off no problemo. Im getting 0-60's in the 6's now which aint slow. My advice is test drive as many as possible as there are some shit slow ones out there
