So they are known to be rather juicy then! Lovely car to drive, would like to try an ST220 once my Physio is completed and I can go back to a manual. I have been using a 2001 Passat TDI estate manual for work for the past year so now having a 2.5 24v V6 petrol auto is a bit of a shock economy wise.....Although the sound of the V6 engine is addictive as is how smooth the engine and car is.
