yeah theyre basiclly mondeos underneath, which means rock solid reliablity, and if it does go tits up it wont be costly to fix. they handle well aswell.

ive been thinking of getting a small loan and getting one recently aswell, like you say, the 2.5 X pack ones are a fucking lot of car for well under 3k!

all the ST200 parts will bolt straight on aswell, so with a bluefin and exhuast on the st200 spec engine you should see well over 210bhp! which wont exactly be slow!
