My new ST-2

[Dixie68]

Atrocious MPG... and I love it! 55 plate ST-2 in the best colour

[danjama]

Very nice - any plans for it?

None at all, I'll be leaving it standard.

That'll make it rarer than rocking horse st with hen's teeth in it!

[Dixie68]

I know! I can't lower it as I live in London and am surrounded by speed bumps for a start
I wouldn't mind putting a lovely new stereo head unit in it, something with a nice screen and all the bells and whistles, but the current one is a weird size (1.6 DIN I think) and I don't want to cut the dash. The standard Sony unit is great sounding anyway.

I'm sure there's the odd one or two unmolested ones knocking around

Looks fantastic - always fancied one of those.

How bad is atrocious - bear in mind i would like you to double the actual figure to help convince me one is affordable.

Cheers.

lovely colour

Very nice, and fair play for wanting to keep it standard.
How much on the wedge side was it if you don't mind me asking ?

You can fit double din steroes in easily.

Ah good that youre keeping standard. Blue is my favourite colour, and this one is lovely.

I've only had it for two days and I've been driving round London in it so I've only covered urban routes and it's at 41.2 mpg, (bearing in mind your request to double the figures ).

£7,500 - 36,000 miles on a 55 plate.

Nice car and in the best colour, but looks much better with the later, darker headlights and leather as mine had.

[s3fella]

Great looking car, but I thought they were a bit cheaper than that? Much prefer the 5 door st s like this.

[Dixie68]

Where I live the few that were on sale were all around that price, some about a grand cheaper but with much higher mileage. Plus I bought from a dealer so I could get a warranty.

[bakerstreet]

They do start at around £5500 if you want a high miler. It won't be too long until they fall into the high 3s. The original ST170 went the same way. I quite fancy one. It would be good if they could actually do 41mpg urban

Without molesting the dash? I'm off to scan a few sites then

Yeah 41mpg would be great... but the real 20.6mpg it's actually sat at does for me

Very nice, I had a 3 door performance blue one myself, not got a bad work to say about it, except for the mpg of course....

I still miss the way the exhaust popped on demand.

[CraigMST]

Lovely in performance blue
Staying standard as in performance and styling or just the styling is staying standard?

www.focusstoc.com has the ST covered pretty extensively for anything you need to know.
Possibly £10 a year membership and i'm sure people would have upgraded the headunit.

How long will it be before it is remapped 270bhp.
