totally agree with regards to the depreciation possibly outweighing the difference in cost. and i guess what it really really boils down to is personal choice because although you may have the odd track day your generally living with it day to day yourslef, doing the shopping run, work run etc so the standard focus st in my opinion is great as the everyday car with extra "uumph" when you want it.

and from speaking to you guys on here i can feel myseklf slowly being drawn into the focus st over the fez.
