alright mate, i was going to get a zetec s untill i test drove my . the zetec s in my oppinion doesnt compare! but would probably be better on fuel . then again, if my right foot wasnt so feckin heavy my trips to the petrol station would less frequent! but it is a thrill to plant my right foot down to the carpet

foot down to carpet eh well you can try but there is a metal strip just above the carpet under the accelerater pedal its the same colour of your st to stop you really giving it some,i call it the phrase....pedal to the metal.

cheers guys think i am going to go for the St lets be honest its a better car and
if i go for the Zetec S i would feel i have settled for second best. You only live once
i am looking to spend about £9,000 on an ST as far as colour goes was thinking black without stripes (my girlfriend says the stripes would be a bad idea)

i know where you are coming from mate and do you really want to settle for second best....i don,t think either,as for the stripes well i find when i am out in the wifes i tend to attract the attention of those who want to race me (white with full stripes)but when i am in mine(naked red)its a little descreet so thats fine with me,but its all personal choice at the end of the day.

Indeed, no one is going to argue that the S is a better car. The S is probably more beneficial to younger drivers who will find insurance Group 13 a struggle. The S is arguably a smoother ride too but don't let that put you off!

There's a few peeps on here selling their ST's for around £9k so get in touch! Check out "The Lot"
