dont get a new type r, theyre not all that. IIRC they only make 1 more bhp than the previous one and the handling is worse..get an EK9 or EP3. But get a Type R

If you can afford an EP3 and EP3 insurance/running costs, get one. Fiesta's can be easily tuned up to 180 and fairly cheap too. Exhaust, filter de-restrict/remap

Test drove both and much prefur the ST, price is a lot better too! Also i've heard they can be made quite a bit faster with just a few mods.
