What Would You Drive If You Didn't Have The St?

Well before we got the we said we wanted either a Megane turbo or the Clio 197. It was just the case of what came up for sale first and luckily it was the as we love this car and are so glad we didn't get one of the others. Loving that Audi by the way very nice!

If I could find a mint one of these......................................

SIERRA COSWORTH RS500


In fact I'd have one tomorrow if the right car became available always wanted one!

I'd have one of these as well................

This for me!

Im with Storm on this one, Range Rover Sport (Overfinch) with the new Matt Black paint looks better close up. Overfinch is a couple of mile away from me had the chance last year to look around the place, some very special cars there and not just Range Rovers.

Im with you on that one. Love those cars, escourt cosworth in imperial blue, lux and big turbo model.

think if my circumstances were the same i would prob have when for a mazda 3 mps or megane R26

but much prefere the focus

For pure noise and fun, probably one of these,

I've just started looking for the ST replacement for if/when I sell it next year, and I keep changing between performance cars and cruisers/comfort so I've been looking at the following:

Audi S4 Cabriolet
Audi RS4 Avant
BMW M3 E46
BMW 535D Touring
BMW 335D/i Coupe
Megane Sport RS
VXR8 Bathurst as above

Just depends what mood I am in after Xmas, although we are also buying a 320d Touring for the Mrs so that will also affect the decision as I then wouldn't need another estate.

I love my ST but don't get to use it in anger, so the idea of a fast luxo barge with all the toys is very appealing.

Love 'em.... drove them in Oz when I was there.... if money allowed, I would have one as a toy but I don't .... But DEFO one for the wish list!

For me it would definately have to be a Range Rover Sport.... The matt black looks absolutely awesome!!

when im not driving the i drive this

or this

at people picking used cars with the same purchase costs and treble the running costs.

Being 23 when I bought it I looked at another CTR, Golf GTI or used 350Z. The group 20 cars weren't financially viable.

For me it was a toss up between my head and my heart.

Head - Audi A3 170ps TDI, economical for the motorway miles I do and as quick as my ST170 if not quicker.

Heart - Focus ST Mountune, not in the slightest bit economical, fast as you like and fun in spades.

As you may have noticed I went for the heart option. Haven't looked back ..................yet
