Carlo; Your not the first person to note that the ST is horrible on fuel. How was the typeR you had in terms of mpg etc?

VRS is a shout but i've been driving a 55plate diesel seat ibiza recently and its well boring, but great in terms of build and drive etc. Just think i would get fed up of the VRS after a while.

Indycos; DC5 would be good, i rekon my budget would only stretch to an early/higher mileage one but its deffo up for consideration, they look and sound quality. Assume it would have the usual Honda reliability too.
