I'm feelin' the new Focus ST

[Chopper]

It's pulling like gravity on Jupiter. Just 20 mins....maybe 6mi. or so.
I'm hooked.
Before spring:bwgy:
and I'll have the eyeball-burn yellow please:yesy:
:yesy::yesy::yesy:

[Chopper]

30k !!!
Feel the burn kid?


I'm doing it.....I need a new car. The wife is loving her Veloster-raptor car, and that thing was like 27 thou......so in that context?
It's a deal....and she's good with the purchase.
It's On!:bwgy:

30K for a ford focus? seems like an expensive vehicle for a economy car?

Hmm maybe i just dont know enough about it... good for you, getting a new car though! I'm really jealous, I would love to have an extra 30k to go get a WREX, and I know there are a lot of others who dont understand why I would like that. So.... :_beer:

[VXorado]

FWD :p

Good Choice...beat out the VW GTI and the Mazadaspeed 3 in the latest test by Road and Track...

Sweet turbo 4 with 6 speed manual will get it down the road and through the corners....

Local car reviewer (Warren Brown -- Washington Post) gave it a glowing write-up just last weekend. He was pretty much in love with it. :heart: Sounds good. Congrats!!

im not feelin it. my dad just got one...doesnt look like a sports car to me, more like a civic knock-off.

for $30k id find a decent used vette, nsx or supra...those are real sports cars imo.

Ford Pinto has returned!

[Chopper]

we have Vettes and muscle type cars aplenty (I work at a car museum/Hot Rod shop)
This thing is a "wagon" (think Mazdaspeed 3) and I love wagons.... Definitely NOT a "Civic" yup, it's FWD but again....I own several RWDs and 1 AWD. The wife's Hyundai is FWD.....They all have their place, and this 2.0L is putting out over 250hp with copious torque everywhere...snorty center exhaust......It's a really fun FWD.
@26mpg.....it's no economy car. But it is an economy Hot Rod.
I just wish you could get the Recaros without the stinkin' "My Touch" voice command bull*****e. I don't make calls or seriously listen to music in a car, so it's worse than useless....ANNOYING and useless:bwgy:

I am smitten

$30k will get you into a well accessorized WRX Limited. Just sayin'. ;)

[Triathlete]

I have always wanted one of the cosworth fords (escort cs) that never got imported here! The ST is probably as close as we will get.

[evillecutter]

or you could wait a year and get one for less than half that price
