FWIW, I drove the ST just to see what it was all about. It's got power and an amazing sound, but other than that, my experience was less than stellar. The dealer had two on the lot...
- The red one the salesmen opened up, nothing worked. It would unlock with the remote and start, but the entire dash was dead...no screen, gauges, interior lights, etc. Then all the sudden the needles lit up, blipped up (like the FR-S blips to the redline indicator at start-up) then went totally flat again. After a shut down and a restart, same thing except after about 30 seconds it shuddered, died and would not restart. On top of all of this, the e-brake was stuck and the button had been mashed in to the handle.
- Round two on the ugly yellow one...it drove, but the power seat control buttons were broken and pushed in to the plastic frame of the seat. I had to reach under, push the button assembly out of it's opening in order to adjust the seat back to a point were I could fit, and even then, the tilt didn't work so I was stuck sitting at about a 10deg tilt back.
YMMV
