hi all. not as yet got my hands on it but thers two diff ST's im having a look at and will be picking one of them up next week!
just a few questions, what mpg can i expect
A-driving like a grandad
B-driving with a 'heavy foot'!
how is the car for reliability?
any common faults to look out for?
also, how does the engine cope with the stage 2 tune to 190bhp?
lastly, do the cars hold their value well? many thanks!

welcome hello.
very few faults and rarely any, 30 to high 40'mpg, very impressive at 60mph on motorway, under 30mpg if you rev in all the low gears.
Value has crashed so now's time to buy one not have one !

car is tad over 5k, low mileage, got the stage two kit that costs 2k and all the original parts aswell. 5 years old service history and MOT. sound ok? how much would the kit be worth if i took it off? pumpaspeed i think this however is also tempting me and is cheaper  but looks nowhere near as good as the first choice

2005 !, get as new as possible, 07/08, facelift ones have better looking in my opining front and rear lights and definitely better interiour, also you may get the newer Sony Stereo on later cars, personally I would avoid an already modded car.
Back to work, chat later.

had my car nearly 2 years and all i have changed is a throttle body and that was my fault it went wrong!
the engine will cope fine! im running 173bhp with only an exhaust change and induction and bigger throttle body!
oh and welcome to the site

most of the parts are easily removable! the only thing with the 190 kit is the map thats hard to revert back to a standard map!

thought original was stored on DS and then you reload back, I guess only if you purchased DS otherwise will have been deleted by PS ?

Going for the modded car, I test drove a standard and couldn't resist the chance of 190 in a fiesta! I pick it up Tuesday, here is the car http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2244870.htm
