Most have not been looked after, have been ragged. Difficult to find one with no rust, arches and underneather the battery tray like to rot.
Most have just had the boost wound up with out doing anything else so they are more prone to blowing up. In standard trim there quite slow i think, but they can be made fairly respectiable, with a decent FMIC, exhaust, filter, cam, chip and remap

You can get mint examples if you look, but you pay a hell of alot of money and it wouldn't be a car you'd want to use everyday as you'd lose all value in it which is why i've decided against a fiesta.

Just get a normal Ibiza Cupra. Only get an RST if you are a ford enthusiast, otherwise you'll get fucked off with it.
