Seriously considering getting my final new or pre reg ST. I looked at one in the exact spec I would want and was pleasantly surprised to see they have finally upgraded the instrument display, it is a big improvement over the previous dull effort. And you can select a view which actually puts numbers on the speedo and the rev counter, it’s more colourful and if I get one it has to have that. Trouble is nobody seems to know exactly when it was introduced, it looks like cars built very late last year onwards.
I took it for a drive as I was concerned about the suspension not being adaptive. I needn’t have been, was quite impressed with the ride and refinement. Seemed more comfortable and refined than my previous MK4’s, a bit of tyre noise from rear showing but think they have honed this into a pretty good car as they always do when models are approaching the end. Found the lack of buttons is still naff and the sync 4 Screen a bit monotone but would have to accept that. Now to get one at the right price
