Concise and to the point - Exellent guide

Cheers I've posted it because I spent ages looking online for the differences between the 3 variations and got mostly inacurate answers

Hi there - new user on this site, so apologies if this has been answered already.

I have just taken delivery of 2015 ST3 having traded in 2013 ST2 and in addition to the obvious ones of sat nav, cruise control, rain sensitive wipers, auto dip rear view mirror, auto retractable door mirrors, I have noticed some very subtle other differences as follows;

darker coloured wheels

slightly larger rear spoiler

interior colour a shade darker than before

pedals are still alloy, but different design

and I also think the 'ride' is less harsh, but having only done 22 miles, I will have to check that one in a bit more detail!

there doesn't appear to be such a throaty rasp from the exhaust either

and the fuel tank is now 48 litres which I think is a bit bigger than before

and there is no little fuel funnel thing that you had to use if you were using a fuel can to put fuel in

....apart from that .......not much!!!!! B)

hope this helps
