Thinking about chopping my car in for an ST seeing as prices have dropped to a reasonable level for a 3 year old one.

Anyone on here owned one? I have been out for a short drive in a couple in the past, but wondering what they are like as an every day car? Are they particularly thirsty? I get approx 300 miles to 45 quids worth in my car now, how would they compare to that?

Anything I should look out for when viewing some?

Fantastic car to drive everyday.

I dont worry about parkig it up and it getting nicked etc. handle superb, go quiet nice. and look great.

Fuel wise i cant help you out as our petrol is cheaper anyway.

 

Im after an ST. Im finding it hard to get the one I want. Im after am ST3 3dr in Sea Grey with smoked headlights. SatNav would be nice aswell.

I will be using it everyday but as I only do 7.5 miles a day, all around town, I expect only 25mpg at best.

I do a fair bit of mileage a week.. Just running back and forth and they are really good cars

 

Cheers for the replies - that's the one I want too

 

any pics of the smoked headlights??

 

 

lovely car and useable as a daily driver no problem.

easily tuned too.

Sea Grey is nice - but rarer than most so harder to find a good one.

personally I'd go for the ST500 - not a performance special - but all the toys and probably hold money slightly better than run of the mill ones.

Oh and I got one - what a surprise (but not for sale - 300bhp AP brakes etc.)

 

I dont like black or graphics so im not after a ST500.

no problem cos I'm not selling one.

focusstoc.com

better place for finding a ST

 

Lovely car wooside

Im on there with my wanted post. None on there either.

my mates old man has got no 1 of the st500

 

trevorcossie - sorry to say that they all say 1 off 500 unfortunately.

mine was one of the very first delivered after being on order for 6 months prior to delivery - so would have been in single numbers.

Rich170 - thanks for nice comment - its a full Magnex system - downpipe and sports cat.
only other mods - code red ECU upgrade and large intercooler & the AP 4 pots.

ran 299.4 bhp last year


only use it on weekends - 5000 miles in 18 months.


for the prices 3 year old ones are going for they are a great bargain.

 

I have one and would recomend one

Nice motor mate......

 

Yes a really good everyday car my missis loves ours and we get 26 mpg average and she ain't shy with the accelerator.

 

yer i know they all say no 1 but he has got the certificate to say its no one ,,he went to a opening day to get it and it has only covered just over a 1000 miles and he has had the original wheels diamond cut and polished it looks the nuts
