I think anything is going to be better than an ST170, if you want a Focus save your cash and just get a 2.0 Zetec, the 170 doesn't feel much quicker TBH.
If I had 13K to spend I'd get a nearly new Octavia VRS and spend the 2K left over on a remap and suspension- you'll be able to destroy ST170's with one of those.

Or an nearly new Honda Civic Type-R!

On the other hand, if your more concious on mileage, there are the some bug-eyed Scoob's out there for this money, with about 20K on the clock, or even a late classic that's been not been used much (slightly harder to find though).

Do you want to tell us what sort of driving record you currently have? If we don't know this, we have no idea how much of a "Scobby" (sic) your grand will be able to insure.

Uk spec'd unmidified scooby for day to day runner with a warrenty or JDM import Type R or RA is a second car or a car not used every day...deciding factor for me was the running and maint costs. Took the RA as a second Car myself and boy is it fun...and for 13K yes thats what i would be looking to sell it for in a year or so.

Depends on what you want the car for. If it's your car and you want reliability then get a bug eye from a dealer. Haggle hard and you'll get one for 13k and at least a years' warranty.
