lol fairplay i just missed the way mine handled as it was the 3dr hatch and the fact i used to give people a hard time and the look on there face just used to say wtf is it!!happy days.
only fwd car i have ever driven that handles as well as a st170. and with the old skool koni impounds and dropped rear torsion bar it handled like a train

when i got mine it had a stainless steel on it kandn and fse fuel reg..binned the lot replaced it all with oe items and when it went on the rollers it made 144..they came out of the factory with 137 ponies.lol
lol i know especially those 2 shitty bmws i dont know what ever possesed me. i have had loads of fords but most were thinks like 1100 fiestas and 1400 escorts etc.... did have the cleansest mk4 escort i ever seen once, it was a 23000 mile matisse blue 1.6 ghia auto. it had chocolatte brown interior, but it was like it just left the factory i bought it off some old dear who owned it from new and used it for shopping. i paid Ł50 for it and sold it for Ł800 lol.
had a orion which i fired a lot of money into, powerful engine with 1400 breaks , recipe for disaster, and thats exactly what it was lol
oh and the only reason i got the citroen c4 was it was 3 years old when i got it, 2.0 16v diesel, remapped ecu so putting out app 165 bhp (140 standard) and had every possible extra and was actually a pleasure to drive...... for the first few weeks but i killed the thing i screwed the nuts out of it, although the engine is bullet proof everything else was falling to bits, gear linkage held together with cable ties etc. when i got it, twas mint and it stood me in at Ł2600, not bad for such a high spec 3 year old motor which put alot of cars to misery, in a straight line easily would have nailed my st170, it had masses of torque.......but nothing escapes the fact that it was a french green house (panaromic glass roof) and was utter shite lol
noooooooooooooo its a german barge, unreliable, always breaking down with elec faults and not as fast as people think. I am a ford man. the st170 was much more fun, worth less maybe but more fun
