Looks smart mate. I even like the 5 door in the Magnetic. Is it ST-line or the ST-Line X? What options did you get?

I've tried my hardest but can't find pics of the Pearlescent - Silver Fox paint you can order the ST in. May be a consideration vs the Performance Blue which I feel will be rather common. TBF Race Red looks great in the pics and I'm sure the White will be nice but so far it's between Magnetic and Performance for me though holding off firm decisions till see Silver Fox promo shots.

It's just the ST Line with no options that i'm aware of. The deal was £165 a month no deposit before April 1st which we thought was a bargain for a run about for me for a few months and then my wife can have it next year more than likely when we get back on our feet financially after buying a house at the end of last year. It has car play. Cruise control. I'm happy with the basics.

The race red really looks nice and so does the white. I would have had either of the three to be honest but ended up with the Magnetic.

Have you seen quoted kerb weights for the outgoing Mk7.5 ST vs MK8? I was also under the impression savings had been made on weight with the engine and rear suspension setup so expected overal weight to be lower.

Also re the quicker than MP215 the MK8 is quicker than the limited run ST200 which is afaik pretty much the MP215 with couple extra bits.

I must admit I thought I had but now can't find the reference. Time will tell I guess.

Car quote 1262kg for a 3 door. Though confusingly they then quote 1205kg in the specs at the end.

Makes me feel better about my Swift Sport which is still a big fat bloke lighter

I found 1237kg kerb and 1312kg EU for the previous ST. The same as a GT86 basically.

Noticed the other day that Autocar are running a 140bhp one of these as a long-termer test car

The ST Line in red looks great IMO.

I guess you've seen the review as that's the colour they have
