Fiesta ST-3
After 7 years of owning clios I fancied a change, picked this up about a month ago.

Got it for a good price, from a decent garage in harrogate. Previously owned for 3 or 4 years by a middle aged female doctor and with full audi dealer service history (Full history was a must for me with DSG).
It's a 'sport' spec, so a bit more bland than the s-line but I like that. It's subtle! I'll no doubt end up changing the wheels at some point, but having just opened my own business it's not a priority right now. Not to mention I've had it a month and I've driven it nowhere other than too and from my gym!
It's got a decent spec list, in the colour/bodystyle I wanted (the picture doesn't show it very well, but it's lava grey). Only thing it doesn't have which I would've liked is bose, heated leather or cruise control, but it's not a problem. It has the upgraded symphony audio apparently, which I think sounds bloody brilliant... would love to hear the bose! Panoramic sunroof and some other bits and bobs.
Oh, and it has this:

It surprised me how quick it actually is on the test drive. Such effortless power! Not to mention the noise, which sounds very good in comparison with my decatted k-tec system from the clio... actual engine noise! And the quattro system will really come in handy too because I live out in the sticks!
No decent photos yet, as tbh it's pretty boring to look at. I quite like that though, sleeperish!
I know it won't be to everyones tastes, but I wanted something a bit more refined and comfortable as I don't really get the chance to hoon around back roads anymore so I had stopped enjoying the clio for what it was good at but still wanted something with a bit of grunt. This seems so far like the ideal compromise!
Cheers,
Chris.
