It is Friday, so time to trawl the classifieds to see what it out there and this one caught our eye over in Merlin Motor City on the Kylemore Road in Dublin.
This gorgeous Ford Focus ST 5-door has covered only 33,666 miles since 2006 and has an NCT until July 2012. The colour, gunmetal grey is fantastic and the fact that it is is 5-door means that we can still be practical while still enjoying the fact that this car is quite the hooligan. The 2.5-litre puts out 222hp and 320Nm of torque so feels very urgent. Twin that with the fact that this comes with a very talented chassis and you are getting a really brilliant package for just a fraction over €10,000.
Sure, there are drawbacks, as it will be pricey to insure and also to run, with high road tax and high fuel bills if you drive it as Ford intended. But what a car!
