Hey, Thanks everyone for your suggestions and advice. All been really helpful Ive now looked at the fabia and the swift but I'm not that keen on either of them.
I'm gonna test drive a Ibiza FR 1.8 20VT this weekend now then make up my mind whether to try another ST from a different dealership or whether to go for the Ibiza. I shall keep ya'll posted with the outcome and what I decide.
Thanks Again

Apparently the new Corsa VXR is turbo charged!!!! 190BHP but not sure what size engine.
Why don't you wait for one of those??
What about a decent 2nd hand Mini Cooper-S? My bro's got one of these, it really is a nice car.
Polo GTi?

The problem with Cooper S's is that they really hold thier value. To get one around the ST's price ur looking at a 51- 02 plate with over 50K on the clock.

But if insuring a clio 172/182 is a problem, then the corsa will be a nightmare! But I do like the VXR range..... get the feeling that Vauxhall don't care about how the car behaves, just how powerfull it is.... I like their attitude, its honest!

My dad got a nasty surprise when he opened my mail whilst I was away, I never told him that I ordered the ST. I swiftly got a phone call from him expressing his displeasure at me ordering a brand new car fresh out of uni, whilst my corsa was still less than 3 years old. Still I managed to calm his nerves before it arrived!

How did you manage to calm his nerves few trips to the pub and that you would pay more board ? Glad its not just me then exactlly the same wanted to know why wanted another new car with my 206 only being 10 months old parents hey they dont understand how we like our fast cars. Think i've calmed his nerves as well as he said yesterday why dont you chase the dealer to see whats going on

The corsa VXR is a 1.6 turbo charged, same as the cooper s and the new 207 GTI. It dosen't come out till next april and I need to find something like nowish. I do like the mini cooper but its just too small inside. I spend alot of weekends away down south so I need a decent boot size which the mini dosent really have. I have also looked at the Polo GTI but it just looks a bit boring. I went to have a look at an Ibiza FR this weekend and I quite like the look of it. Its not as pretty as the ST, it's a bit more grown up. I'm hopefully test driving one at the weekend. Fingers crossed I actually like it or I'm back to square one

I can see the difficulty in choosing a car of this category. Personally I like the Fiesta and would probably have had nothing else except maybe now for one of those [flame suit ON] new Clio's [flame suit OFF].

See the trouble your faced with but as Nick says the Fiesta is the better car if it helps im going through the same as what you are. I ordered my car in May and not yet seen it. It has been misbuilt and had everything go wrong with it as well as being damaged but been told this morning things are looking up. I would only go for the fiesta even after all the hassel i have had. Worked at Seat for a bit and dont rate them really they dont seem to be built that well and loose there money more than the ford. Reliability dont seem to be there either had a lot come in on low loaders (more than ford as use to work for ford as well). But end of the day we are all different and you have got to do what makes you happy

How did you get on with the Ibiza over the weekend did you have your test drive and was it what you wanted or have you fallen back for the ST?

Well, I had a test drive with the Ibiza FR this weekend and loved it. It handles really well, it's got more uumph lower down the gears than the ST and you don't feel quite so high up so it feels more stable on fast roads. I've decided to go for the FR so now I've just got to wait for the refund on my ST to come through. It's hopefully being picked up sometime this week and their gonna lend me a courtesey car till I can collect the FR. I just want rid of my st now, after all the problems I've had I won't miss it. And just for good measure I've now got the same problwm with the engine again. Mis-firing and no acceleration. Oh well, just one of those things
