Is this the 2.0 l ? I seriously looked at getting the estate ST recently , always liked them and you get so much for your money
I have had my ST Estate since July and love it. The only real problem I have is the Sync fuse needs pulling every few weeks. But its not a big surprise that the software is a bit crap as it is microsoft.Here is a gratuitous pic.

It is currently on its winter steels with crappy winter tyres.
Boozy if you mean me I picked up some steel wheels already fitted with 205/55 r16 Dolphin branded winter tyres. They are a bit narrow but generally ok. With better tyres I'm sure it will be loads better especially in the wet, they are good at low speed in the snow and ice. I only paid £150 for them so I'm happy.
Mercury, thanks. It's certainly great for mountain biking trips that involve nice roads in wales. A much better car (even ignoring the engine) for family stuff than the C-Max I had before.

Yep, same on my car. Not the easiest fuse to get to either, I've often thought about running a short fuse extension to make it easier to pull the fuse when necessary. Also - for those ST owners with the Style pack, watch out for the fuse blowing for the illuminated scuff plates that come with the Style pack, the same fuse also protects most of the dash lights and EVERY control on the drivers-side front door card.

I really don't see the benefit to the sync. On my C-Max i never had a problem with connectivity for my iPod, on the ST it is pretty rubbish. I'm due a service (first in my ownership) so will have a moan about it then. I did have a quick look to see if I could find an RCD to replace the fuse but couldn't find anything.
