Fiesta ST Age Demographics

[AbraxasMayhem]

And you probably think that's old... Happy returns!

It feels old lol. I have the body of an 80 year old. In my head I don’t really feel all that different than I did in my 20’s just more experienced. But the body.... this old thing creaks, cracks, and groans

In our twenties we think thirty is old, but the thirties turn out to be the business: still fit and way wiser. The bad news is that everything we fear about thirty actually happens at forty. (Sneak preview: fifty is not better...)

So true. I remember looking at 30 year old SNCO’s and Officers like they were elderly. Now I look back like they were young AF lol

I won't answer the door after dark anymore, I'm afraid it will be the Grim Reaper coming for me. 2%er

Being a 2%er is like being an old car that is too far gone to be fixed, but you're gonna run it into the ground anyway.

I am in my 70th year and have had my Fiesta ST since new in 2014. I think it is the best car I have ever had and the Recaros fit me perfectly. I just sold my Hayabusa powered Lotus Seven and was debating getting a sport touring bike. I ended up with an MX5 Miata so I guess I am getting old.

WOW! A Lotus Seven? with that lightweight monster engine that never breaks down. WOW! again. Did the engine overpower the chassis much? sound like a 70's F-1 car with a muffler.

It was a 2006 Deman Motorsports SR7, a Lotus 7 replica weighing in at just over 1,000 pounds with a 180hp Busa motor and 6 speed sequential transmission. 0 to 60 in well under 4 seconds. A blast to drive on track days with a 11,000 rpm redline, fully independent suspension. LSD, Wilwoods etc. But the lack of a roof and no reverse gear was starting to wear thin after 12 years and it was not wife friendly.

This thread is now 5 years old.
My original post has not changed.
So, I guess I haven't aged any.

Just picked up my 2016 ST three days ago. Love it! I'm 28 and about 6'3" and I have to say it's nice to be able to comfortably sit in any vehicle, let alone one that looks about as big as my shoe! Very happy with my decision. (My first post on the forum as well)

35, just bought my 2018 13 days ago. Easier to maneuver than an F250, better on fuel costs, and holds more than my motorcycle. Wife calls it a mechanical roller skate haha. First post as well

Welcome! Lots of good info here, but be careful of the mod bug. Most of us have it, and it’s contagious...

Already swapped out tail lights for the spec d ones, replaced all the others except high beams with LED, looking at retrofitting hid. Unfortunately live in California so almost no engine modifications are legal

As long as it isn't metro Vegas or Reno areas. They adopted CARB laws there
