      ​@@andrzejkrzeminski3270 I bought my ST2 in November of last year. Got it with 14k on the clock and I still love every drive I have in it. It is very stiff from standard, but you get used to it after a week😂

    Great review! On recent highway trips, I've gotten 33 US mpg/39.63 UK mpg. Always pleasantly surprised on a tour. Around town, though, I average 24.5 US mpg/ 29.4 UK mpg. All with a stage 1 tune maxing at 24.5 lbs/1.69 bar of boost. Definitely recommend a bigger intercooler over stock to minimize heat soak and thus timing pull by the ecu.

    I have the ST3 with all the extras, including the sunroof. The sunroof really brightens up the very black interior.

      If you lift the rear bottom seats and remove the back headrests, you can have a flat boot floor

    My mums partner has a what we think is a remapped ST-2 we dont know the power and torque but its immense for a petrol engine and doesn't feel that much less than my Grandads 435d, it might even be quicker. It also has the intake like this one so you can hear the turbo.

    I have a ‘17, base, with the good wheels and light seats, I don’t carry anybody me and the old lady, tons of room with rear seats out and 6 t45 bolts, light as hell. Prob best daily and autocross car ever. Im second owner from a full service history only commuting, 115k miles and runs like it’s new!

    I have own both st and rs. If you live a place where it is always good weather st is good. But if you live a place like I where there are snow on road half of year and it sometime rains rs is definitely much better because of awd. And it is so fun to drift on snow 🤩

    I have a 2016 ST-3 but it has rear parking camera. Surprised yours had the rear parking sensors only?

    • @DannyKeogh94
      @DannyKeogh94 2 года назад +1

      I have a 2017 one mate with no camera either. Just the rear sensors. Seen a few for sale with a camera but they’re of all ages, some older and some newer than mine. It would be nice I suppose but doesn’t bother me too much, if a person can’t reverse with just mirrors and sensors then they shouldn’t be driving 😂
      Love mine though. Belting car. Had to laugh when the bloke said about the hard suspension, always have to rearrange my spine if I go over a sharp speed bump haha
