Good choice there mate. And the TDCi is a cracking engine. I am getting over 50mpg around town where the same journeys in the ST would return around 27. A vast improvement. I plumped for the ZS version as I wanted to retain some of the sportiness. You are right though, the equipment level in the ZS is a bit naff but managed to get myself a pretty good deal so specced it up a bit.

I wasn't looking foward to the change over of mine back in December but I am now really glad I did, it is a much more practical car in today's climate.

You'll have to let us know what you think of the Sony CD unit because I am a tad disappointed with mine. It seems as though the rear speakers are very quiet compared to the fronts.

Anyway, good choice mate at least you have the ST to run about in for another few months.

Just a shame you couldn't have got the Sea Grey
