No im not a Chav from Birkenhead!!! Even though im from Birkenhead!
Great list of cars Raffe, you have had some of the finest hot hatch's ever made. How does the Clio Williams compare to the ST? Which has been the best you have owned Pug GTI, CLIO, Integra Type R or the ST in terms of all round ability?

I am really sorry to say this but I think its the cars I have previously owned that have left me very dissatisfied with the ST sadly...I have sold it to a dealer and goes at the end fo the month. Out of the 4 cars you have mentioned its trailing behind in 4th 
The ITR and Williams were by far the two best cars I have owned..the ITR excelled on fast A roads and at bigger speeds where as the Williams was simply outstanding on B roads...and I find it hard to imagine any other hatch that could give it any kind of run for its money. The Williams was torquey and revved smoothly and well, where as the ITR lacked torque but the ultimate power it had once in vtec was awesome..and as for the sound..if you have never been in an old school Honda vtec..you are seriously missing out 
The 205 was also amazing but I always felt it was a little twitchy feeling, and likely to bite you back at any point...although this is a common trait of Peugeots. Power wise it was very powerful from low down the rev range and was a hoot to drive.
With the ST I think the steering is a little detatched feeling although the intial turn in is very impressive. I am unhappy with the driving position as I feel you sit far too high in the car...and as for the power, very dissapointing for a car of this type. I think most of the problem there is the weight of the car as its a real porker  The thing I think the ST lacks the most is aggresion..it just feels far to docile for my liking

You're gonna laugh when I tell you what my previous car was!
A 1996 Peugeot 106 XN Diesel (1500cc) - probably the slowest car in the world!

Of cars I actually personally owned:
1) Mk5, 51 plate, Fiesta Flight (1.3L)
2) ST!
Before my mk5, I drove a 1.3L automatic Austen Metro (Austen! That's how old it was!) and a 1L Fiat Uno 45 Fire (*rrrrrr* but god I loved that car!).
