I'd rather go for a 2i 16v mate, the RS is to be honest pretty slow and wasn't worth the extra money for a badge.

Later ones came without the Recaro trim and were fitted with awful bucket type seats.

As with all Mk3 Fiestas check for rot behind the filler cap and run your fingers up behind the arches to check for rot. Open the doors and pull the rubbers off the sill seam and check for rust there also take the sunroof out and check for a rust in the well as I've seen loads which have.

Apart from that they're pretty decent cars, just not particularly quick for being the RS model. I've had both, a 2i 16v and an RS1800 and tbh I'd stick with the XR2i! Hope this helps.
