Test drove an ST with the Recaro seats a few months ago. Loved it.
Seriously considering it, except I'm just not ready to give up my trusty Viggen yet.
The ST felt surprisingly upscale in terms of solid feel and chassis/handling. Mixed reviews out there about the piped in intake sound, but I liked it. Sporty sound, but subtle.
Performance (acceleration) is good. Feels familiar, similar to the Viggen and only slightly less "thrust". The Recaro's are something you should sit in before ordering one. The LOOK great--FWIW--but they are very snug. I'm a narrow framed guy so it works for me, but adjustable bolsters would have been nice. Overall, I was impressed. Still on my short list.
