I quite like them, really good friend has one and loves it, we both drove to the TT last month and back from liver pool averaged 36mpg in his st200 and eventually 37mpg in my 328, they both went very well, essentially as quick as one another, mines cheaper and his sounds better lol
You can't really go wrong with them, they are wrong wheel drive, but apart from that they're a quality car. Got to say tho, an x-type jag with the 4wd and better v6 (same engine, more powerful and apparently economical) could be a better bet, fairly cheap (not as cheap) but probably a better car (my own opinion)....
