The cupra R is a cracking car, I suggest driving that one, even if it is red (though I think its ambitiously priced). Can't say the ST would even get a look in for me assuming a choice between the two - but if you like both then there's no harm checking them out.
The only other Cupra R around has 70k on it and is about £500 more!
I must admit in the flesh that one looked nice in red.
A lot of prices are inflated, I do like the Fiesta (I have had 3 fords in past) but would never pay 7k for one i dont think.

just to old ! might be able to get a slightly newer one under 6.
shame about my poor experience with renault as this seems keenly priced
