Yeah, I’m clearly not the target audience.  

These things are underpowered pieces of shit.  Let’s call a turd a turd shall we?   

Exactly. Try merging onto 90 93 95 128 (aka Boston Roads) in traffic. You best be willing and able to merge with some authority.  I routinely use WOT on my ST to slot into traffic... aggressive?  Sure.  But here’s the thing... so is everyone else around here.  

155 horsepower? Did I read that correctly? On a car that weighs (I’m guessing) close to 3600lbs in AWD trim?

There is no place named “North Boston”. There is the North End (home of Paul Revere, the Old North Church, and a few other notable places).

Current 2013 Focus ST owner. Zero interest in anything else that Ford currently offers that fits my needs. None. How stupid. They will be in a world of hurt the next time gas reaches 4 bucks a gallon and the only thing on there lot is SUV’s and F150's

Plenty of AWD cars are manuals. The CLA AMG is not one of those. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make, but please, try harder.

Sure sure.  I’ll just beat the shit out of my very expensive car.  Makes total sense.  Welcome to real world.

EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. TIME. And then if you argue the point it become pages and pages of people who like AWD being accused of not knowing how to drive.  

Whenever I see cars of this age I always have to laugh at the size of the wheels.  My god.  I have coasters that are larger than those things.  

The only question I have is will I be able to buy a 508 Wagon in brown with a manual?

That thing is a bigger crack pipe than the one that Jim Spanfeller must be smoking from.

That heap of trash reminds me of the memo Paul Maidment wrote to the editors at Deadspin.

My dad bought a first gen R/T two door. Exceptional handling for what it was and for the time was pretty peppy with a 7.5 0-60 time.

Yeah, it’ll be an adjustment when I get rid of the ST.  I don’t know... maybe I’m just getting old but the thrill of a perfect heal/toe down shift and rowing through the gears at WOT just doesn’t tickle my taint like it used to.

I’ve always had a manual. I learned to drive on one... but... I’m ready for a DSG I think.  Maybe I’m getting old lol.

Plus a star for the usage of the word cunt.  

Interesting... I have a FoST and drive 30 miles per day in Boston / MetroWest traffic and one of the things I love most about the car is that it will maintain 5mph in 1st gear and around 7 in second. I just leave it in first and it’s kinda great.

I’ll never forgive Ford for slapping the ST badge on pieces of shit like this. These are dark days for Ford.  Bring back Allen.  

GOOD!  I hope they loose every last fucking cent.  Goddamn fucking things are a menace.
