I like the ST220, but the +400quid a year tax thats about to hit them puts them right off the mark for the 'reasonable' performance they offer IMO.... so would only ever consider an ST TDCi in that shape/age Mondeo, but then thats another lump of cash more than the equivalent age/mileage ST220 would cost.

i do get wot your saying especially with the evo as they r greaat and im not saying they wont do the job just as well but its the feelin u get when driving that only a ford can bring, the escos is my second fav car of all time only second to the rs200, the only reason i dont own one is coz i cant afford to look after 1 as deserved but same goes the evo,
