That is very true Rob.
It is a consideration though to make sure you can keep it once you get it. Most of the ownership cost relating to the st is in fuel.

I do make the most of mine when it works. And even now it's broken i give the throttle a blip and get a huge bang from the unburt fuel in the exhaust. I paid for it so going to use it

I'm surprised people are saying it won't go as fast as the fiesta down the lanes as I know for fact that my RS would beat my old fiesta down the lanes....easily
Even round tight corners, it feels bigger but has so much more grip than the fiesta ever did, you'd come off the roundabout with understeer but in the RS its happy to do the same speed and wants more
I have considered swapping to the ST though just for the comfort side of it but now I know I wouldn't/couldn't
Don't know if your into it but the tuning potential is pretty good for the ST and not very expensive I believe, was looking at a blue one today and I think its now my favourite colour out of them all, even above the orange!

In answer to the question of fun...I reckon yes but not for the lanes, just the power of it

I've taken one for a test drive, the difference in power really shocked me imo the focus is in a different league!

Decided to stick with my fiesta for now tho.

Cheers for your thoughts

Yeah think i need to take one for a test drive really..

no1's been disappointed in the upgrade then from the sounds of things..

Did also look at the new subaru impreza WRX (not STI) but not convinced really, dont think it will be as nice inside and still cant make my mind up about the looks.
