I would rather have the racing puma over a ST any day.

You don`t want to get one now there will be a new model ST focus next year wait for that if you want one

I just bought a ST170 and can honestly say its very very impressive.

Handles great, excellent brakes, HID lights etc.

But....

Its not as rare as a RP but there is more room in the ST.

If you buy a ST get one with as many options as you can, leather, HID, sat nav, etc make for a very nice car!

I'd keep the Racing Puma personally

trade it in for a Focus RS maybe but not a ST170!

keep the puma. although i have had 2 st170 i have had the same prob on both which is the inet cracking. acording to ford its because ford fabricated a manifold rather than cast one or something like that. more money than it worth. although it was a gud drive.
