Hi, welcome to the board! Have decided what colour you might get - and with or without stripes? It'll certainly be v diff to the Clio 1.2 and IMO will beat the 182 handsdown on handling/ cornering and comfort.

There are various posts already on the site about 0/60's, scope for improving performance (DanST has his up to about 200ps I think)

Re the leather seats, they are heated and the switch is located under the drivers seat - not sure if this is for both or individually controlled - PARKSEY will know - he has them.. and as for the ESP, I think the gen consensus is that you don't really need the ESP on the ST, as its been engineered to be as safe as possible, plus 150ps isn't exactly ott... that being said though, I was considering it when I was looking at getting an ST so.. I think its 275.00 factory fit ONLY and if you buy ESP you HAVE to buy the Reflex Pack too (side and curtain airbags).

Lastly re the CD head, a few people inc Pinky have changed their head unit (I like ur head unit pinks..) and I guess as long as u have a multi changed hooked up, you would keep the ability to have 6 discs.. or is that not what u meant? the 6006 is a massive lump of a unit, if you take the front fascia off, its a lump of metal, so you have to buy the din bit etc etc. Others will be able to advise better.

Hope that goes some way to help..
