The ST is a top little car drove it last week for a couple of days - my review's in the Feb 2005 issue of PF so look out for it.

PS - In the pictures i HATED the stripes... but the honest truth is that in the flesh they look VERY good (much better than a non striped car).
PPS - Oh, and the basic car is £13500 - VERY good value given the engineering, development and also the build quality.
