Seen a really nicely modified MK6 zetec s yesterday, was nicely lowered and seemed to have a nice exhaust noise. Which got me thinking....
I always toy with the idea of changing cars, primarily to unlock some funds, and secondly to reduce my running costs. I've always been a larger car fan, however smaller cars offer advantages such as; smaller wheels = cheaper tyres, less weight = better mpg, light and agile = better handling.
The downfall being there isn't much of a cabin to them, less gadgets and more road noise.
So... what does the MK6 ST offer over the MK6 zetec s? I would imagine the Zetec S being better on fuel, lighter so more agile, I also prefer the wheels on them over the bigger ST wheels. Also could the 1.6 engine be tuned to deliver near results to a standard ST?
What extras do you get on the ST over the Zetec S that are worth shouting about? Ipod connectivity? better dash? better brakes and suspension set up? And is it worth the drop in MPG, higher insurance and slightly higher running costs over the zetec S?
