TonyM - is yours the one that had rust popping through the paint? What are they doing about it?
I know the ST is a great car and I quite fancy one, but it isn't great if there are problems. I wouldn't call the POLO GTI 'a waste of money'! According to the write-ups there's very little to choose between the two, apart from the ST being a bit tighter handling - and a couple of thousand quid or so
Anyhow I won't keep playing the same record, I'll go and see if I can find a VW forum to see what the gripes are.
