Nice! I picked mine up the day after Thanksgiving (would have had it before, but they were putting on the tinting I asked for), and got acquainted with it on a 2.5 hour drive out to my family's lake house. A drive that ends with about 20 min worth of wonderfully curvy back roads.

Yeah finding mine with all the options I wanted, but with no sunroof was interesting as well. I honestly didn't even have to negotiate very much since they wanted it off the lot, evidently there aren't many people who want the car optioned with everything BUT the sunroof. Also, I found only 1 dealer that was carrying…

Nice, I didn't get 0%, but the 3.5% wasn't bad, considering after trade in I was financing less than 10k. I didn't want a sunroof on mine, and honestly it was kind of hard to find one without it.

I'm loving it! I still miss my MINI sometimes, but this is still a lot of fun to drive, and it makes more sense for my current situation as a homeowner and such.

Yeah the full leather Recaro's were a deal breaker for me, so the ST3 was the way to go. As for MFT, eh, I've had no real problems with it, at least no more than any other voice command system.

Yikes! That said, the deal I got was damn good for here in the States as well, the car sitckers for just shy of $30,000, and most places you'll see them marked down to about $27,000 with discounts, these prices are all before tax, title, and license, "out the door prices are usually $1500 to $2000 more, I was out the…

Yup, I got my 2014 Focus ST for ~$25k fully loaded with the ST3 package, the used ones around that were only a year old, but had between 15 and 30k miles on them, ran in the ~$24k range, so for me it just made more sense to buy a new one with the full warranty and no dubious previous owners than it did to buy the used…

Lol!

Would the stripped down track version be called the Id then?

Shouldn't it be "hold my vodka and watch this"?

I owned an 05 V6 hatch back, and absolutely loved the car. Plus it was a very solid platform, it stood up to about 10 autocross events a year for 4 years as well as 125,000 miles with no major issues.

To each their own I suppose. I think the 1st gen 6 was a very good looking car, the gen 2....not so much. I will agree that this new one is an improvement on both though.

You're saying that is fugly!?! O.o We never got the gen 2 wagon, only the 1st gen.

Considering it's been in production, continually improved, since 1963, I'd say that the Porsche 911 deserves a spot on the list.

Save yourselves, SKYNET has activated!!!!!!

$75K on a gm?......I'd rather have the 'Vette.

it's only a model :P

Houston, definitely Houston. We see freezing temperatures so rarely that the city doesn't keep equipment on hand to deal with icy roads and the like. The result? Big pileups when freezes to occur, and god forbid any snow falls, cause when it does the city basically shuts down.

In normal driving, nothing. On a track it can make a big difference by keeping you from hitting the revlimiter mid corner unbalancing the car, and allowing you to carry more speed through the turn. bumping it up past 7k would be pointless, but on a track, having that extra 500 rpm to play with before having to shift…

I promise you will not regret it! Hell I'd sell you the one I've got sitting here next to me right now......if I didn't have someone coming to pick it up tonight.
