Summary
What does this car say about you?
Erm. Probably drug dealer haha. I am only 20 so when people see me in it they wonder how i can afford it. Get sick of people seeing the ST badge and wanting to take you on. Mostly similar age people in corsas, clio ect.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all love it and Enjoy going for a ride in it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes without a doubt, lovley car that gets lots of looks of everyone especialy with it being frozen white with rear window tints. Lots of people complain about MPG, i am getting about 22.5mpg but thats what i expected. You are buying a 2.5 turbo. What do you expect.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not to sure yet. Keeping this for a few years. Maby a audi S4 or a STI 330s or a M3.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its AMAZING !!! Any gear any speed and there is great pull. 2nd and 3rd are scary, put your foot down and when it reaches 4000rmp turbo is at full boost. Pushes you back in the seat and other cars become a dot in your mirrors.
What's it like to park?
The turning circle isnt very good :/ but its not bad to park. Just worried about kirbing the alloys so i take extra care.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only had it a week. Nothing wrong but needs new brake pads all round. But thats just wear and tear.
What's most practical about your car?
Got a 3 door one as i dont need anthing bigger. Still lots off room in it though. Boot is a really good size.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Love the push start button, xenon headlamps, bluetooth for my phone, also got a port for a USB and ipod. Also got DAB radio but i find that FM is better.
