Check out the FFOC (Ford Focus OC bbs) which has a forum devoted to the ST170.
I think there's a couple of niggles about the car, but most are curable.
Standard Focus handles well, so this model should provide extra thrills.

Decent handling, well built, can be bought cheap on import/used, good spec.

Not that quick though!

The Renault Clio Cup is suposed to be faster in a straight line and in the corners. So I supose a CTR would be aswell, but it all boils down to the driver in the end.

My father's Rover 400 is quicker. My Honda CTR has killed one stone dead! I hear from a friend in a 172 that he minced it as well!

If an ST170 looks gay next to a clio it's cos the clio is sooooo gay it's gone full circle back to straight Who'd want some tin pot french crap that doesn't even have RHD wipers ffs

CTR and Clio 172/Cup are completely different cars.
I wouldn't put the ST170 in the same league really, despite the number of horses under the hood. The Focus just doesn't do it.
