Both our FITs don't like interstate speeds or wind . The combo can mean disaster for m.p.g. . Makes me want to stick my head out the side window and scream . Better not , that could give more drag and lower F.E.. Do miss the sedan for interstate .

My 07 was definitely quicker than the 15 I test drove. While the suspension felt a tad tighter on the 15, my 07 seems more nimble. Overall, I'd say my 07 is more sports car like, and the 15 was closer to a Corolla experience.

The ST is fast. Its low slung. I think it might have to prove its point at every light. I had rented a Fiesta 5dr a couple years ago for a week. Its probably the best performer...and just asking and they were 4k under sticker. 20k. Car had nav and rado wheels and sunroof bringing it to around 24k sticker. I think id only want the recaros. Sunroof is too far back and rados chip.
For me, im unsure. And i bleed blue oval. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I've had my eye on the Focus ST for a while now...love all the features and bhp...never owned an American car and would by lying if I said I wouldn't be worried about build quality, reliability, etc....only positive note is that Ford didn't take bailout money and their recent string of cars have all looked good...still, there's just something about the way those doors feel/sound when they close compared to imports that I've just never felt good about... |

So if your signature is correct, are you Japanese, or French? |

Japanese design vs American design - the answer is pretty clear. |
