I always had fords from when I was 17 till I was 39, then had my wrx, now got a my05 jdm sti, no intentions of going back, I however still have my cossie as a weekend toy but the newer fords just don't do it for me anymore, The st has a good reputation though so best of luck. As a change from a focus rs I would recommend a jdm twinscroll, its a good all round package, as long as you can put up with the hard ride. A spec C would probably be even better, but I was torn between MY03 spec C and MY05 jdm and the extras on the sti and improvements made on the MY05 won it over for me, Depends on your budget though as a MY05 spec c wr ltd has all the extras, but was a little over my budget.

The mark 1 RS is a better car than the mark 2 ST. I had an ST and I wasn't impressed with the handling, they are far too heavy over the front end and the chassis isn't as good as the mark 1. ST's are lovely cars it's just the handling that spoils them

Could not agree more, i had an st and thought it was ****e. re mapped it and all it did was spin up every where, handling is shocking too. mk1 rs all the way! much better car.
