It's only a Volvo , they are heavy on front tyres 5-7 k out of 2 at front .

Plastic pipe under bonnet can blow off / shatter pops up and dinks your bonnets .they have small problems , but I hear they are a good driving car.

A good place to start I guess?

The plastic pipe upgrade you can get from mountune, an alloy one for around 500 notes, but mountune have also addressed the pipe blow off issue with a new engine map, the first remap stopped the engine stutter at around 3000 revs and was a "C" map and the "D" map sorted the plastic pipe issues.

Adrian, I'm on my 3rd one of these
I've had 2 Green & my current White 1
I still love the Green & if you're into Polishing then that's defo the Colour to go for.

I only sold the 1st one because after checking under the front end I realised that it had been in a bump, only a small one, but I just had to move it on. So I traded it in at a dealer & bought a 61 Plate which is the newest you can get but I wasn't getting on with it so I put it on ebay & Adrian @ Focus RS Direct put a bid on it but in the meantime he had my current one come into stock so we did a deal
I definitely couldn't use these as an everyday car, I know some do, but for me the Ride's too Harsh & Fidgety. Plus I think you'd have to watch where you Park it
I know what you're saying about the Interior as Standard, not a patch on the German Brands or our Skoda Octavia for that matter, mines ok as it's had £6k spent on an interior re-trim But it still Creaks, Squeaks, Rattles etc
I'm still not convinced about them though myself tbh
I went in it yesterday & drove down some different roads & it was all over the place Now mine's got HRE Forged 20" Alloys but it's also got KW Suspension, the guy spent £25k on top of the price of the car modding it , so it actually doesn't ride much harsher than std. But unless the roads are Smooth you're gonna feel everything If you have plenty of nice smooth A Roads & you're gonna do some Motorway driving then you'll be fine but if the roads are pockmarked & weird cambers............hold on!!

I defo don't like the New ST's Interior although the Exterior has grown on me..........a bit
