well happy christmass everybody and this year i treated myself to a new car i was on the look out for an astra gsi (mrk4) but went to the local ford garage and come home on christmass eve with this lilttle pocket rocket. one owner from new(local buyer), two services by ford, four brand new tyres, 6 mounth free tax and a full tank of petrol plus it still has two years waranty. car has got most of the extras aswell. i.e bluetooth radio, 6cd multi changer, climate control, power fold mirros, safe home lights(car lights come on when you unlock and lock the car) trip computer, auto head lights, rain activated wippers.
plus its going to be alot better on fuel then the astra as well as being newer and hardly used with only 15k on the clock
let me know what you think

well i had driven a zetec s before driving this and yes there is a big difference in the drive and there is power there when i need it. own driven a 1.6 so it feels very quick ok it may not be as quick as the clio, corsa vxr or a misie colt turbo but i dont want loads of power. Its an upgrade from the corsa and it doesn't need modding to much. pumaspeed do a kit on their website that will take it up to 170bhp so if i get board ill stick that on lol but for now im happy.

very nice, best colour IMO
i was going to get the same as this but it didnt tick all the boxes for me, and didnt like the dash colour.
but if it does it for you fair enough, its a nice car

i never said as slow, i said for the money difference between the zetec s and the st, it is apparently not worth it. (brand new)

but this is christmass present to myself, and yer your right the blue strip i think help brake up all the white. Its also bit of a tribute to my late grandad as before he passed away he had a mint white xr2i with a blue pine strip along the bump strips and front/rear bumpers. His is old skol mine is new skol

Nice car mate, welcome to the st club. Naked white sts are cool, but striped ones still look nice.
