Oh yea, has BOSE sound system and 6 CD in dash changer

I had an ST too - 2007 pre facelift model.
Had all the usual bolt on mods and a map from Colin's performance in congleton.

Granted, your never gonna beat the ST for engine sounds.
But it shares the same chassis and front brake set-up, although with a different bolt pattern.

But where the ST is a bit naff in the corners, this grips better and pulls out the corner far far better than the ST ever did!
Obviously thanks to the LSD.
£500 cheaper than the ST on insurance too. I only pay £480 fully comp, NCB protected.

If it wasn't for twins on the way, I'd be keeping it. And to be honest, I won't be starting to worry about selling up until march. It puts a massive smile on my face every time I plant the fast pedal.
Just a shame that's not as often as I'd like due to the wife using it all the time.
