The thing is that the ST Does have provision for these "creature comforts" They're there for the taking. It's not like they havent been thought of, or the car isn't advanced enough to have them. Although I do reckon a couple of them should come Std. with ST.

Yea - I'd like to see how much the options bring the car up to a total of $$.
I remember looking at the Polo GTI. I wanted leather (full cloth was crap), and sunroof. That brought it to $33,500 drive away (I met a girl last week who bought one for $33,000 drive away). However, for that price, there are other cars which perform better, with more options also. Plus, I didn't want people pulling up and going omg that's like $26,990... when you need to explain it was $33000 on the road
and Pieoter - the Speed Limiter is switchable. I never have mine on. Climate Control is apparently a big thing in Australia - so say most XR5T owners demanding it
:
Oh, and the auto headlights look cool at night. Turn on the car and the xenons come on immediately. Safety feature too.
As for the wipers... best invention EVER. Turn them on... and you never need to worry about it! It stops working as hard when you stop at the lights, it works harder when it rains more.... does intermittent as it seems fit (so 5 seconds... then maybe 8... then the rain gets heavier so 4 seconds later it cleans it) etc etc. I love the Auto Wipers features... especially in the past two days! Talk about down pour of rain!
But hey - that Said... I would have considered the ST and maybe I would be in one. Of course, I'd have to drive it... as it doesn't stand as a class leader like it's bigger brother XR5T does.
