Not sure what to do now

 

dont like the colour white for me i drive a hairdressers car now lol

 

I like the colour
What have you got again Nick?

 

clio182

 

I've even looked at Fiesta ST's

 

 

tbh neil ive halfed my fuel bill was 50.week now 25.00 and the car is very quick

 

Don't get a Focus S*$T!

 

Why?

 

that st is very nice.

 

look great with black wheels

 

Buy the Scoob... without stickers

 

Focus ST is a great hatch. Lovely engine, sounds fantastic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcOsr...EA7F6767CD95A8
Are you intending plastering whatever you get in stickers?

 

F*ck off you two

 

I like it dogs. I'd have it mate! You've done the Scoob, try something else. I would anyway.

 

It's a fair point, I've never bought the same car twice there are too many to choose from. I would definitely go and have a go in the ST and see what it's like.

 

I was thinking of 'going different' with an ST/RS after owning all manner of scooby's over the past few years.

Here's a thread of what happened. The DC5 is now up for sale as I'm coming back

 

Nice thread on PH bones.

ST's have nice engines - 5 pot growl is nice even as standard. Facelift model looks tidier imho. Dont get an orange one tho

I did toy with getting one before I went for an FN2 CTR. I test drove back to back and the ST felt sluggish and lardy whereas the CTR felt sharp and the interior was different league (ST = very cheap plasticky look). One thing that also put me off is reliability. My mate has had a pre-facelift ST2 for about 4.5yrs now and had quite a few electrical niggles with it.

Im now starting to look at my next car in 2012 and like the STi hatch (possibly JDM). RS Mk2 looks good value and if your thinking ST I'd say try and stretch to an RS. Running costs dont look much different really (RS is same tax band as ST and my CTR - couldnt believe that for a 2.5 300PS car). Im still wary about the FWD traction in less than dry conditions no matter what the revoknuckle brigade say. One thing Ive disliked about the CTR and makes me want to go back to AWD. Also looked at Evo X's but the are in the highest tax bracket (M ??) which ok is only £10 more per year than L at the moment but Im sure they will change that and it will end up £500+ a year (amazes me it isnt already).

 

 

What I can't understand is why most of the Orange ones are ST-2's and if you look at the purple/blue colour they are more often than not ST-3's

 

Large majority I see seem to be ST2. ST3 has leather but dont you lose a seat in the back? What else do you get over and above the ST2?

 

I've been told ST-3 depreciates less

 

I would have to go for an ST 2,got 3 kids

 

They are sh1te , that's a honest answer for you
Buy a focus rs , good car if kept under 300 and you can get them for £8500 nowadays
I've had both and the rs wins hands down , the st is so cheap inside it will drive you crazy

 

Well, a ******* in a ******* car - sounds like a match made in heaven - you are also getting some stick in FC about this batty boy!

I say go for it sh*t breath

 

 

Wtf? Didnt you used to be a mod? Couldnt tell from that outburst.

 

I wasnt that keen on the sound in that clip. The milltek sounds nicer but RS standard sounds pretty throaty:
