Default Mk1 Focus RS

hi guys been thinking about getting a mk1 focus rs in the next month or so as iv always wanted one and think they look fantastic .I was thinking about an mk2 st3 but every second car i see is an st and after driving one i think they're nice to drive just a bit front heavy and more of a cruiser.Iv never driven a mk1 focus rs though and have a couple of questions that hopefully somebody can answer. What are they like to drive on bumpy roads and the odd pothole? roads around where i live are fairly bumpy and seen a few people saying that when it hits a bump or pothole the diff makes it jump across the road a fair bit? Also what are they like at a highish speed?will it be a right handful? and finally if i was to buy an example around the 60000 miles to 80000 miles and the clutch hasn't been changed am i likely to end up buying one fairly soon? seen somewhere that the standard clutch is fine for about 40000 miles? checked plenty of buying guides ect and hopefully i will love it to bits!
