And one further thing

. If you're not excited about any of the cars you have tried then how about looking at something cheaper? I know it's far cooler

to shovel your last penny into a car, but £10k (or less?) will buy you something very nice indeed. Food for thought.

Yep I thought I would consider the new Ford ST (saw one at the Geneva motor show looked Ok) however I got a pityful reception when I went to the local ford garage. They didn't have any, didn't know when they would be getting any, no leaflets and didn't even want to look at my car.

Anyway as my other thread says I went for the WRX so just waiting to collect it now

I think ford are going to bring out a 4wd Focus soon, possibly the RS Cosworth that they were originally going to release a few Years ago....should be interesting to see how it compares up with the new WRX.

ok only 2 doors and just read you've orderd the wrx im sure it will be just fine! i think it doesnt look any worse than the competition after all who in there right mind buys a subaru for its looks!
