I like ST's alot I just couldnt buy one as I would feel disapointed by the preformance and think I should have got something else.


What about its rival hatches like clio 182 and CTR etc

Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Not a fan of the ST at all. Their not that quick and for the money he could drive round in a 52 plate Civic Type-R and still have some change left.

Didnt like the fiesta ST, not that quick yet drinks petrol like theres no tomorrow.

Road tax is high aswell.

Driving position, personally, is uncomfy and really hard to see anything when reversing.

I'm biased but possibly a C2 1.6 GT

It all depends on how much he wants to pay for insurance and running costs.

if its a 1.9 tdi a3 then he's a mug for not going with it.

like i said, make him drive a 1.6 GT C2, it'll shock him how nice it is compared to the Fiesta ST, and how much more roomier it is inside.

Or even as gavin said whats wrong with a 182 ?

Mk4 Golf GTi Turbo.
Will get one with lowish miles for that. If he could stretch another couple of grand he could bag an anniversary.

Good allrouder.
