what are they like to own and drive every day?

im using my saph most days and its a pain to drive with the paddle clutch.
its great on the open road but i long for something thats quick and easy to drive.

im just thinking once ive got a few jobs done in selling up and buying a st
is it the right move?

For an everyday car obviously the ST is better
But the cossie is way more fun

The ST is a good daily driver but as said the Cossie is more fun. I find the ST is good on fuel if you drive it sensibly and it is also a nice lazy cruiser because of torque, mine has a dreamscience remap and eibach springs though

I'm now looking at selling the ST and getting a BMW because I feel I'm too old for a hot hatch I'll either sell both cars and get an M3 or I'll keep the cossie and get a 330i or something
