Nice car, bit of exclusiveness and character compared to other hot hatches around the same price, im not feeling the interior at all though!!

It got panned by all of the hacks, that test drove them when it first came out, they didn't like the Quaife ATB fitted to them.

I'd say test drive one see what you think.

Drove my dads old one a few times and loved it!

I'd have it over most other hot hatches.

His was 247 bhp and torque steer wasn't an issue.

I think they are great. Saw 2 today.

Although 1 pulled up next to me a couple weeks back and it didnt look much different to a normal focus in the dark, which was a bit disappointing.

St's arent as raw but still as fast and has better interior.

I like them, they also look stunning when the standard wheels are black

I love them. But as mentioned the interior alone would stop me buying one, unless I intended it as a track car in which case it would all be coming out so it'd be fine then

Love them. Never see them on the road! I can't imagine the diff would be THAT bad? Can't be as bad as a 1.5 way anyway

Could potentially be a good buy in terms of residuals, not many made, plenty ford fannies wanting them.

Maybe when the mk2's can be had for 5k i'll pick another one up

Have to admit they still look great! Flared arches and that blue paint makes them

I love the fact they initially look like boggo focus then look twice and you see the flared arches nice brakes and I love the wheels. Hugely tuneable and sound fantastic.

I want one

Hate the dash though I dont even mind the steering wheel and seats, just the fucking triangular abortion design of the dash

Pretty common round my way Two of my mates have them. Good cars. The interior is horrendous though.

I like them. Would be paranoid about leaving anywhere as no one seems to have any respect for other peoples cars in car parks.
