If it is sold here (which is a giant if) it will be most definitely awd and auto.

I’m fine with lower power and even cladding if I got the AllTrack. However, my “preference” wasn’t too specific, but it was literally just a barebones wag with a stick. I don’t really understand why you could offer an SEL all track with a stick but not a regular wagon with one. I get profits, but cars these days are…

Yeah this definitely had something to do with it. When I was shopping for my focus st I wanted the manual 4motion GSW. Didn’t make sense to get the package when even the base focus ST1 came with more. My priorities and how I use the car has changed a bit in the last 2 years and sometimes I wish I would’ve made a…

Given the plastic cooling system, I wouldn’t say that’s outrageous.

US Spec, as the cars they offer this for are built over there anyways and shipped to the US for sale normally. Not sure about all mfg’s but with Volvo you do get to pick some options that are only available in the EU, but it’s still a USDM production vehicle.

There were a few like that In FM4 too that you couldn’t own but would come on the auction house by people who obtained them somehow, albeit very rarely. I know one was the STi S204, and the Mazda RX7 spirit R. I think the top secret Supra/s15 Silvia were in that boat too.

This! When we signed up we got 40,000 free points for spending what amounted to normal grocery/gas budget in the first three months. It was enough to get us “free” flights to Denver in October and a free flight for the mrs.’ mom to San Diego to see family.

I was willing to put my money where my mouth was for this. I’m on my second 3rd gen Focus ST And when I saw spy shots and the 275hp mill rumors, I started talking to my local dealership about when I’d be able to order one. They didn’t know at the time (this was before the announcement) and now I get why. It’s a shame,…

Hey, fellow fost owner here and I do the same. I let it sit until the idle bump goes down and the oil pressure gets to 35-40, give it a few more seconds and then drive carefully until fully warmed.

Have you seen the Tacoma? It’s interior reminds me of my 2019 rental Nissan Frontier. Which says a lot, as that interior has been mostly the same since 2004. The 2019 4Runner isn’t much better, and still has a 5 speed auto in 2019. The only one maybe to consider would be a corolla hatch in manual, but I couldn’t…

I have planned on purchasing an S2000 next year, and once I have that, replacing my ‘18 ST with a new ranger as the S2000 will cover the sporty bit and then a truck for daily duties and hauling, however I do not need anything bigger than a ranger. If this truck still provides a bed big enough to haul the things I…

My focus st has the Ford di 2.0T and does this. It’s common for that noise from the HPFP which does in fact run off the cam. Also the Injector noise too. Thought I had a valve tick when I bought it 

Even stores like H&M, TJ Maxx, etc. have good deals on in style clothing. I can’t say I’ve spent over $10, maybe $15 on a “stylish” looking shirt/button down for a looong time. 

The answer is not no. I know plenty of people on here and oppositelock who bought them. I purchased two focus st’s, both brand new. I won’t be buying ford again because of this, I could guarantee I’m not the only one.

They are reliable. You just have to know what you’re talking about.

The automatic isn’t available on the ST, the head gasket issue is RS only, and only the 13’-14’ suffered mild synchro issues that are no longer and haven’t been. Yes, of course the reliability goes down when you modify it but then that goes for most high strung turbo cars these days. The car is a riot for a $20k or…

Also if I could be ungreyed that would be wonderful!

Late summer 2016, I was coming home on the highway in cincinnati after getting off of my college job early (or so I thought) due to an incoming storm. Torrential downpour ensues, and I’m stuck in a no mans land on I71 where there is no exit for 2 miles either way. Flash floods start occurring under the overpasses to…

Wow, that’s crazy. I think I remember her saying something about a mustang too. I didn’t realize she was that much of a car person, that’s awesome! That’s a great looking driveway, I’m jealous!

Are your parents from southwest Ohio? Last summer I spent some time in a Kroger parking lot in Cincinnati talking to a woman who looks like your mother oogling over her new (to her, she said like 1000 miles on the odo) manual dark red C7 GS. It was a beautiful car and I made sure she knew it, lol
