They only do a 5 door?
Mk3 yes
..maybe saving the 3 door for RS version.

So I went to see an ST today. It was 5 door on a 60 plate, a blue st-3! It had done 15.000 miles and was £15k!
It was lovely inside and out....I was so tempted
The only thing putting me off is that the new one is due out soon.

I'd really like one of these, its my favorite hot hatch by far and its a realistic buy. Never heard anyone say a bad word about them, apart from the fuel economy.
I know nobody buys a hot hatch with mpg in mind, but I'm told its pretty poor.
I'm spending £200 a month on fuel at the moment averaging 38mpg, my commute is almost all country roads, dual carriage way and motorway, if these get about 28 that bill would go up to just under £300, which is a little eye watering.
On the other hand, its just £25 a week extra to drive something fun....interesting.
I'm half tempted to say stuff it and have fun for a year or two, got the rest of my life to be sensible.

It's overpriced at £15k, you can get an older facelift model for closer to £10k now.
I'd be right in thinking the RS is worse on petrol and would lose value like a listing luxury liner if you piled loads of miles onto it?
If you were spending that money I'v save another £3K as RS's are getting down to £18-19K now
Also with a simple re-map. intercooler and K&N panel filter, you will outrun an RS in your ST, all for less than £1k.
