I had a '98 Ghia for a quite a while and although it aint an ST its more or less the same running gear, spec, etc ...

I'd deffo have another especially over an S2. The Mundano has all the toys and mine use to return about mid 30's mpg and rocket up to about 140mph'ish. You could literally pull away in 3rd gear. There nice and torquey and sound pretty nice. Its just a shame that if your trying to sell one they aint worth jack .... Dont forget that not all of them come with the RSA bodykit and the saloons versions aren't the most desirable thing to own ...
