I was also very much attracted to the ST, real manual, awesome front seats, much better dash with PS3-like finish, and orange. But the lack of rear legroom and bus-like turning circle just don't cut it for me. Looks like Steroidal Snob won't have a new owner soon.
Get the black plates with white letters, MiztaB!

I'm not sure what Ford were thinking when they designed a different frond end for the ST. The standard Focus already has a neat, cool face. Now its hot orange sister looks somewhat like an angry fish.

The parents' E39 has it at 11.4 metres compared to the RA's 10. I can tell you that there is a world of difference with 1.4 metres. And alas, the ST is at a whopping 12 metres, but if one can live with it, it's a heck of a machine.
Hopefully your girl friend knows how to shift properly. I lined up against a lady in the Ford who wanted to dare me a bit. It was pretty much equal at the start, with me doing about 80% throttle, but when it was time for her to change to second, it was all over (no speed limit broken, just for the record).

Congrats Mizta B on your purchase! I can now understand why you ROFLed at the Mitsubishi commercial thread I posted
Your Reason for upgrade:
A) Needed an even bigger grill - CJ grill is just NOT BIG ENOUGH.
B) Wanted a Aston Martin sort of almost shaped Grill :p
C) Tangerine Scream screams TANGERINE!!!
D) Other???:
