I had to take my ST back for some paintwork when i got it .... how it could get scratches on it when it is brand new i dont know .... anyway, as a courtesy car, Ford gave me a Zetec S for three days. All i can say is that if you can afford the extra for the ST and extra for the insurance, then it is well worth paying the extra. Dont get me wrong, the Zetec S is very nippy and does the job but the ST is worlds apart.

Quicker, better handling, better interior etc. he Zetec S does have a better turning circle (due to the different tyre size) but apart from thet, i personally think that the ST is a much better car.
