Wifey loves the heated seats and loves the Recaros.
The ride was a bit harsh stock, and i quote, it hurt her boobs (while wearing a bra), but simply changing to different tires resolved the issue and now we have happy comfortable boobies.

Exactly. Also, I haven't hardly seen any Fiat 500 Abarths on the road... and the Fiesta ST's keep growing in number, and the real mark of a winner- AutoJournos are spending THEIR OWN MONEY on Fiesta STs.
I haven't run out of space for my patriotism yet in my Fiesta ST and I cannot think of a more tossable car. The handling is just ridiculous. Go-kart like is an accurate descriptor. It handles far better than any FWD car has any right to.
Don't forget Johnny Lieberman has one too.
5'11" 185lb, 32 waist. They're perfectly comfortable for me. but hell, just skip the recaros and save $2k if it is a concern. Sit in both.
All the Ken Block shit is on Focuses.
While he may race a fiesta, all the upgrade shit and fifteen52 rims and shit are not even available for Fiesta. Not ONE person on Fiesta ST Forum, FiestaST.org or FiestaST.net has Fifteen52 wheels on a Fiesta ST. NOONE. NOT ONE.
The flatbillers are not to be found amongst Fiesta ST…
Every single passenger I've had has commented on loving the Recaros. All adults. Even drove the damn thing from LA to Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele UT and back for ST Octane Academy (you know, that Free Racing School you get when you buy a Ford ST vehicle? Oh, what's that? You don't get that when you buy an…
No it is not more fun than a Fiesta ST and I don't need a "endless fun" gif party to prove it.
Your Abarth does not come with a 2-day Racing School clinic at Miller Motorsports Park free of charge with purchase. End of discussion. Can you induce oversteer? I can. More fun. I win.
I mean, subjectively, the Abarth is…
Did you drive a Fiesta ST at all?
o_O' I like the grille.
If you want to talk about styling features ruining an ST car, let's talk about the clusterfuck that is the ugly nissanshit "pulled edge" bullshit nonsense tail lights they stole off a 370z/maxima/juke.
That atrocious back end is honestly why I bought a Fiesta ST instead of a focus. I could not…
The war ended the minute the cars got anywhere near a track. I have been trying to find a Abarth 500 to race against and subsequently beat up with my Fiesta ST. Adams Motorsports park anyone?
The Abarth loses the HP and Torque war. Hell, even the race version doesn't even approach a stock Fiesta ST.
The Abarth has…
I think their stunt makes a strong case for how stupid the speed limit is.
Isn't the next SRT-4 Dart thing going to be AWD?
I'm sorry, but you're reading this the wrong way. He's not doing the pie buy to spite the child, it's to spite the awful brat's mother who refuses to do anything about her out of control child and subsequently saddling her with an even wilder tantrum.
You have an out of control child throwing a tantrum? Do something…
On paper a modern Mustang V6 may have the same HP output as the Mach I but it's the shit gearing the V6 is saddled with that makes it feel like barely 200hp.
I defy you to find any modern car that will turn as many heads at ANY car show than a genuine R32 or R34 GT-R. For some reason noone gives a fuck about R33. Go figure. But you show up in an R32 or R34 everyone has to run over and check it out.
wait, 180hp 200tq? Man, so my Fiesta ST can really beat these up. XD
My adult passengers don't have a problem with the space at all in the back.
Trunk space is tight. Both cars are very usable day to day, but Focus offers more space and more sophisticated rear suspension and other ancillary systems.
I went Fiesta ST, despite non-recaro Focus STs being available for 20k now. The Focus ST is a larger, more sophisticated car than the Fiesta and it's more comfortable and offers more space, and the 2.0 EcoBoost has huge power potential. That said, the Fiesta ST is sexier IMO, gets better mileage and is more tossable…
Try driving a go-kart on a sprint car style slicktrack and tell me you can easily control the car. You only have so much that you can do when there is minimal traction. Your helmet cuts out part of your field of view, roll cage is an obstruction, add in dirt and dust being thrown around, a night race with a kid in a…
