Default Advice on which ST-2 to buy?

Hi,
Ok so currently I drive a Hyundai coupe, a pain in the ass getting my one year old in and out of the back seat, if you can even call it a seat! Love the car, but its time to buy something more practical, but with some fun to be had too. I'm looking at a Ford Focus ST-2 but I can't choose between these two. Both same price, but different year, millage. Stuck!

Give you will all know far more about the pro's and cons I figures you would be the perfect people to ask

I would buy whichever you prefer. e.g. colour, spec etc. Condition would also come into it for me along with a full service history. Mileage, to me means nothing, as long as it's been looked after. Go drive them both and see which one you fall in love with

My old 07 plated ST's pas packed up twice. 1st time mid corner nearly putting me in some railings with a 7 month gone young lady with me and the 2nd time in a car park. Both times it dumped all the fluid. Randomly the steering used to go stiff when manouvering at slow speeds.
