I bought an FN2 because a deer tried to jump over my EP3 one night........ but got it very wrong!
As good a reason as any.

I had looked at ST's when i was looking at my Type R (bought 3 weeks ago) as they were really the only 2 cars that were sticking out to replace my BMW with, the ones i wanted were just out of reach on my budget, or if they were in budget they had the tacky/gaudy cloth seats, i much preferred the leather Recaro's to the cloth on the ST, the CTR interior is a much nicer place to be IMO, really slick shifting in the box, The CTR has better fuel consumption and ST is a bit nose heavy with that Volvo T5 lump in it, any of the R32's and GTI's i seen when looking around were also out of budget or had higher mileage on them than i wanted(100k+)
Suppose it depends on what you like, i also ride motorcycles so quite like a revvy engine, have also had a few petrol turbo cars as well so understand the appeal of both, best thing is to get a test drive of each and make your mind up from there, also check for signs of accident damage as 3 of the ctr's i looked at all had signs of repair work, and not to a high standard either.
Thanks for all the replies, I thought there would be a lot of different reasons out there.
Do you get the GT version without satnav? And what's the edition with the 19" rage wheels called please?
Still learning and looking to see what's out there for sale.
We now hear of fancy new cars losing big ends and piston rings for no apparent reason, even when not really stressed. I think design/manufacturing standards are dropping year by year, yet people think they are still the same as when their parents were buying cars. Engine bays get smaller and smaller to save weight and preserve crumble zones, but hotter and hotter with all the cats/turbos/what-have-yous.
Adequate air intakes are now an anathema because they increase fuel consumption, so they fit fake vents and you end up with a cooked engine.
Manufacturers are not penalised for shoddy designs that deteriorate within a few years, I don't think they care much about reputation any more, just short-term sales.
My Pug206 has autobox 'sealed for life', so you are told to forget it's even there. Really? After 60K miles the oil is in appalling state and they still claim it's all good. They want you to buy a new car, maintenance and longevity *loses* them money.
