MMM depends if you want to spend £4000 extra on a car that has a dull VW badge, smaller engine, bland looks awful seats and even the center arm rest is an optional extra...!! VW just take the P***
I love watching the sad faces of GTI drivers in my ST rear view mirror
Brilliant car. looks great, sounds great, awsome performance... Nuff said
Indeed. It's easier for the scrotes to burgle your house for the car keys, or hijack you at the lights than to steal most modern cars with typical security.
As for depreciation, my biggest loss was 11k on a Lotus over 7 months. I should have stuck to my pledge never to spend more than 10 grand on a car, that I had before I started contracting. Had some good times in those 7 months (track days etc) so it wasn't a complete waste.

Ahh but they love seeing the look on your face in 3 years time when you come to trade it.
BTW I could open my mates MK1 Escort with a 5p piece.
My Dad's just traded in his evo VI (Tommi Makinnen edt) for a X not actually got it yet but by all accounts it has slightly softer suspension then previous versions and does not need servicing every 5k ( every year or 10k I believe he said)
also has flappy paddle gearbox sat nav etc etc etc
Indeed. Thats precisely why I wouldn't own a Focus ST. Chav bait.
In my yoof, I had three hot fords. Every single one got broken into. Maybe I was unlucky, but they are just vermin magnets from my experiences.

The security was so poor back in those days. I remember opening my old cortina with someone else's key
Can still do it these days with some cars. Apparently it works on those that don't have remote locking, so the door lock wears down over time and any close matching key will do.
Don't think the immobiliser is so easily fooled though, but at least it's a place to sleep on a drunken 4 mile stagger home because you spent your last tenner on a pint of cherry beer.
