Which is why I’m not buying another Ford when it comes time to replace my FiSTs... The vehicle in your sig. is looking better every minute.
I won't get my bike, behind or in that vehicle; needs more doors.
By then, the Sonic RS might be a little bit better than current. In terms of peak temporary output, GM doesn't offer a comparable vehicle.

In addition to loosing 61hp**, you also loose:
Heated driver and front passenger seats
Keyless Open
Keyless Start
...but at least it has a partial digital gauge, projector headlamps and daytime running lights.
Keyless is one of those things I didn't miss until I had it though. Wouldn't want to go backwards on that option. Absent of Ford and GM offering a reliable, stylish, "true" performance vehicle that ain't the size of a woolly mammoth on a diet, Mazda would be next area of focus though. (no pun intended)
**Keep in mind that Ford's high hp numbers are due to "overboost"
