I've been on here a while now and have seen a few people "slating " the st170 as a " rubbish" car, (putting it politely).

Why?

I own one and think there a alright car. Don't get me wrong if I could afford a cossie, mk1 rs ect I would buy one.

But the st170 so far been a good car, mine hit 130 easily enough ( private road of course) handles ok, although they do need some handling mods.

Other than just the general maintane seem all round good car..

What your views on the car?
