Me too. ST is a quick car, but the way it goes about it is just too detached for me, drove an RS the next day (the car I now own) and it instantly put a big grin on my face.
Have yet to have a run against an ST, but the RS does feel more "instant" in the speed stakes. Might be wrong, as the ST is so bloody refined compared to the RS.
Horses for courses tho....I know which will hold it's value better.
