I think its silly to just assume that sti buyers would jump at the chance to get an equally powerful rwd car... totally different animal... if anything i think they would steal business from people shopping for mustangs, camaros and used boxsters/caymans, etc...

Sales are declining because the car is expensive for what it offers... also why buy new when the depreciation is pretty serious and there is no shortage of used ones...

They should have hired Matt Farah

i remember seeing a mugen edition of the civic si selling for over 30k back in the day... crazy shit

This stuff would be annoying if they had a large dealer network like Ford, where we have close to 20 dealerships in the DFW area to choose from (so service can be done near home or your office) but when the dealer network is much smaller (only 3 Fiat/Alfa dealerships in DFW and they are all FAR away from most people)…

the pedal placement sucks but there are pedal spacers to address that for under $50... if you have access to a 3d printer someone published the cad file to print your own spacer for free

i was close to buying an abarth... here’s why i didn’t:

do some real world research and you will find that you can get one for significantly less than that

dude, i drove a scion xb for 10 years while wanting a fun car but i was being practical and living below my means... know what? some things are worth spending money on and what you drive every day is one of them... the FiST puts a smile on my face every single day and its an affordable car... pull the trigger dude!…

its 2017... is that really impressive anymore? also its not the peak hp number that is the end all be all... whats the power band look like... how much torque is there.... how is the gearing... the overall experience is one that lacks power

I test drove the FRS / BRZ a bunch of times before I got my FiST... I really liked a lot about the car (hence the multiple test drives) but my ultimate conclusion was that unless you live in an area that has great roads (I live in Dallas so... NOPE), the toyobaru’s are just not that fun around town or on the…

Change for the sake of change... not an improvement at all... similar to the refresh of the generation before it where they ruined the front end

Wouldn’t they have been fine if they had GAP insurance?

My friend and I watched the first episode this weekend. I had been waiting to watch it with her and it took us until recently (aka a long time) to get around to it. We both felt like it was just OK... Way too overproduced with too many tight shots and not enough wide shots... I don’t think we will bother to watch…

Fiesta ST - Still light weight, within budget (used, cpo and possibly new), hatch back, 4 doors, good mpg if you dont use the car like I do... way less issues than the focus st guys have and way more fun

Good review as always from harris but I find the theatrical overproduced video to be a bit annoying... i get that its top gear now but its a bit overdone

and also about to be a throwback whip... i wouldnt spend a large sum of money on something that is already dated

And he only got 1 pic? Where are the rest?

possibly, whats not to like? he seems like a good guy, great driving skills, enthusiastic... not a jerk like clarkson

Best looking ferrari I’ve seen in a long time... got some nsx in there too
