Mine was great to be fair, owned it for 4 years, did about 40k, unlike the old fords id owned previously it just worked which was great. interior was alright, high revving engine was addictive, great gearbox.

I'd say the only let down over a ST170 would be the steering, the steering feel in an ST170 would be better maybe due to the EP3's electric power steering.

If you could afford to stretch to one I'd go EP3
