Lots of noise and banging and maybe some broken CV joints. If nothing breaks on the first one you'll probably get lots of wheel hop and noise. If you try it a second time, you'll probably need a tow.

You are forgetting the the 996's are generally unloved and are readily available in the $20k price range. . . .

I think that there needs to be a separated set of records from when the course was paved versus the course being unpaved. The unpaved records will always be more impressive than these newfangled ridiculously fast paved records but they really are not competing in the same league. Just look at Loebs time he just set,…

They should have hired Deathklok to design the car with more ZAZZ!

That is fully understood. I realize that the Focus has moved up a segment while the Fiesta essentially took over the Focus spot in the line up. It still baffles me why in the US those two models are only offered in 5 door configuration. I wouldn't mind a 3 door Fiesta, as that would be the relatively same size as my…

I miss my ZX3, it wasn't the best car but i sure liked it. Plenty of space, huge windows, mine was damn reliable as well aside from a shitty clutch master. I would fet another ford hatch if only it had 3 doors.

I miss my 3 door focus. I am deeply upset that here in the US only a 5 door hatch is available in either fiesta or focus variants. It seems a little redundant to have two 5 door only models on sale in the same market. I would buy another hatch but only in 3 door configuration, for a 5 door variant I would move up to…

Why doesn't Ford release the 3 door fiesta ST here? isn't it a bit redundant to have two separate 5 door hatches? I would buy another Ford hatch but only with 3 doors. The extra two doors are useless and unattractive to me. But I really do like the 3 door Fiesta ST and if it were to come here I would buy one.

edited and ~16 minutes cut out of it as well as commercials all make it better when it is on BBCAmerica.

I much prefer 3 doors to 5. I don't need 5 doors, I don't like driving people around, the back seat is for my dog. Well it was, now I have a Miata so she sits copilot now. . . Still don't like driving people around though. . . #savethe3doors

Wow this is the most terrible coverage i have ever seen. . .

I often cuss at the pious prius drivers. I'm glad that it is not lost on everyone that there is that word association. . .

Thank you! So much better!

If I could afford a V wagon I would own one in a heart beat. Alas I'm not far enough along in life to be able to get one of these machines. . . I think these will be a hot ticket collectors item in some years though.

I think you were trying to say ufda. . . You win for getting the most people riled up over nothing.

To get into any parameter critical sections of an ECU it generally takes longer to access rather than say connecting a cheap code reader. Communicating with the various modules and accessing usable data to change takes longer to access by default of the manufacturers. A little off base but have you ever had to…

Have you ever tried to connect to an ecu? have you ever seen how long it takes to access data logs on a scan tool? Have you ever tried to override those fancy park assist program? It isn't as easy as pointing and clicking. To get into some areas of the ecu it can take upwards of 10 minutes of sitting there with the…

Back when the S/C 5.4L Lightning was the king of the hill, the HD edition was the only way to get the S/C 5.4L in a non single cab short bed flareside. Just saying that aside from that generation's lightning the HD edition was the second fastest truck available. . .

Nope, clearly Mr. Ballerina was intentionally putting his vehicle into harms way and intentionally cause a collision. Dash cam trumps what he would say to the police and or claims adjuster. Lets not forget that Mr. Ballerina's insurance company (if he has one) would love to cancel his policy and deny a claim for him…

If only it was a CT9A wagon, then it'd be worth what they want for it. . .
