i want!

Hateful interior. That is all!

Don't see what's wrong with the Focus interior myself. It might not be Audi or BMW quality, but at least it's interesting.

The estate ST170 really seems to suffer on the 0-60 time. 8.8s is barely quicker than the 2.0 Zetec.

Weird, I loved my Focus mk1 interior. in fact it was a brilliant little car, and streets ahead fo the competition in its day, (1998)

Now a Mk1 Focus RS Estate on the other hand...now you're talking!

There seem to be 2 for sale on AT at the moment:

and

I see why they didn't sell many, and for £3k - £4k for a 2002 or 2004 car respectively, you've got to wonder if they will sell easily in the second hand market too...

Hmm, never (knowingly) seen one of these, take everything off them and would make a good "Q car"

ETA... As said above

[esvcg]

damn, thought i knew most mainstream cars but that one flew under my radar, and i've never seen one!

[Frik]

They're good estates too for their size. No lip on the boot and a good distance between the arches inside.

[MG511]

Nick Trott (editor of EVO) has one, he's written about it in EVO and really rates it.

Strangely I was looking at these today on the trader, now also looking at the ST220 estates not many of those about either.

Indeed!

Roughly £2k more than a hatch!
