Small vid of Chris Harris in new ST

 

I've driven one and found the seats very snug and the biggest thing I didn't like was when you hit the throttle the car tries to steer itself straight aswell as me and it felt like it was all over the place. Just wish it had a proper front diff.
Other than that I really enjoyed it, but give me the last focus rs anyday over it.

 

I didn't find that at all. Not sure how you were driving it, but you can't expect to just boot a 250bhp fwd car an it not fight with you. Much in the same way that you can't just boot a 250bhp rwd car. But torque steer is still minimal, and I thought the steering (which does like to self centre) was fantastic.

 

I like Chris Harris, seems like a nice bloke.

 

same here. seems like a proper enthusiast. best car journo by some margin

 

Drives better than an Audi eh...

I wouldnt mind a go in one of these.It wont be long till there is one of these with other 300bhp.

It's worth watching even if you don't like new stuff, as halfway through they do a bit of old skool stuff - basically the Opel Superboss and the 325iS - South African models similar to but more poke than the UK Mk2 Astra GTE 16v and the E30 325i Sport
