All personal opinion though really. I test drove an MPS before buying my ST and comparing the two, I thought it was about as interesting as a night in with John Major.

Looks way too bulbous from the front, interior was basic japanese dullness, yeah it went alright but the handling felt really wooden, not particularly lively and it just wasn't a particularly interesting or fun car to drive.

Don't get me wrong, as an overall impression it isn't a bad car, the driving experience just didn't interest me in the slightest.

The ST on the other hand, driving position is better, loads more feel through the steering wheel, just feels all together more involving. The 5 pot lump sounds awesome on full chat and the handling, although it is a heavy car, it feels much more alive and fun, lift off oversteer is easy if you provoke it!
