i would wait for SVT to roll out a hopped up ZX5. Those things are very popular in the UK and Ireland. I saw thousands of them, and people swear by them. they are ride lower over there than they do here and apparently handle better than the other body types. plus, LOTS of aftermarket stuff to make the car faster, better, and different. i don't particularly like the looks of the ZX3, hence the new SVT doesn't really appeal to me, bu the lines of the ZX5 match up well, and is supposed to be the most balanced focus available.
