A stripped out Focus ST can be had for under $2ok which is a downright bargain for one of the best hot hatchbacks on the market right now.

Now if only I could get a Fiesta ST for 14-15k....

That Focus ST for 18k-19k was pretty eye-opening. I was thinking a minimum of 24-26k.

I got 0% on my Focus ST as well as $3000 in rebates as well as $3000 off sticker

If I was about to have a kid, I'd probably go Focus ST. Kids require a ton of crap that takes up a lot of room, from what I'm told.

I like the fiesta, but I'd rather have the Focus ST for extra space and size. If I'm going to make a payment every month, I don't want to have to make excuses about why people in the back are rubbing elbows and their luggage doesn't fit.

Police cars!!

None.

I picked mine up a few weeks ago for <$21k with nothing but a sunroof and gray wheels. At that price, nothing else compares, in my opinion, except the Fiesta ST. That's smaller than I wanted with a family to carry.

And huh? Mr. Drag Racer? These are not drag racers. The Focus is faster. Done. If you think your MK7 or whatever you call it is faster, it's still not. The Focus ST isn't for people like you. It's for more advanced drivers.

Ha ha ha! Thanks, Bullit for the info. The problem is, an engineer to me is like the beginning of school. Fluid, Thermodynamics and Chemistry is my specialty. I know what a GTI is, and I keep hearing about these "quicker times" from any car, and don't care at all. I track my car. I watch what it does, stock. It's not…

Obviously he has never heard of this:

Seth at Steeda is also a contributing member on focusst.org. He just cleared up and mistake on that website about an intake manifold spacer. A new employee had posted gains of 25 hp.

Will it keep pollen from sticking to my car in the spring? I would pay big $$$$ for that.
