Farewell black fiesta

There does seem to be a lot of confusion (and possibly lies/misinformation) flying round.

Personally, I think fcuk it, get the car (like you say) and then worry about it

Also, from what i gather the economy of this car is, at best, a bit poor. But then I like it so much, that right now I'm not bothered.

I remember reading a review about the ST-3 and they had a lot of positive things to say about it. The only negatives were the ride comfort with the suspension being slightly too stiff for the length of the chassis, and the other was fuel economy. But you don't buy a car like that and drive slowly. You buy it to have fun!

Exactly, although it's hardly an put-an-out performance car, it's got a bit to be played with. Ideal for day to day use and to have a bit of fun when the roads are clear.

Not really had time to really get fully used to it, but the suspension did feel pretty firm but not too much - we were on decent roads though so it felt nice, can't comment more than that though, also the seats are quite comfy so that could mask it a bit.

But then compared to the Puma, which is very hard and speed bump-scrapingly low, the ST should be a bit more comfy. I generally like cars with a fairly hard ride (ooh er) - my first car was a Micra which felt at times horribly like a boat as it bounced and leaned round corners on it's high, soft springs.
