Got the comfort pack on mine - and well impressed with lights.

I'm with www.elephant.co.uk on mine for £500 f/c, with the missus (shes 24), i'm 26 but no ncd cos that is on the RSTs insurance, they offered me 5 years ncd (cos the RST is with them also!). The agreed value being £15500 (it was brand new - altough i didn't pay that )

Pretty good insurance cos got the RST for £286 f/c with the missus also . So now got 9 years NCD on the RST and 5 years NCD on the ST170.

St3v3 - wots the audiophile sound system like? - Its got a sub eh?

the audiophile sound system is not too bad at all,i dont think the sub is really as good as it could be,but to have the 6cd head unit is nice,saves messing around all the time looking for your cd's

Umm.. just wondering if it was worth getting one (Sub) - rather than an aftermarket non fitting item, cos these tuck right into the wheel arch don't they? I know i'd have to power it / rca it somehow.

Mines got the 6006 6 disc dash changer and it is useful - also saves going to the boot to change discs - like the aftermarket ones. I've also got well used to having the controls on the steering column - I'm so lazy - LOL

my dads St has the sub in the boot next to the arch, sounds really well

good cars

An after market ub and box would produce lower bass with better quality though, wwould work out cheaper proberly.
