Tested a Fiesta ST followed by a Focus ST today!

[MikeyTwins]

Now I have had a lot of fast and fun cars in my time from Twin turbo cobras to 500hp PT cruisers so I know fast and I know fun... My take on the two cars was the fiesta ST was probably the most fun car I have ever driven in my life... with an additional 50ish hp and torque it will be amazing imo! The Focus felt a hair faster and was def a little roomier inside but to me it felt much more like a "normal" car if that makes sense! The Recaros in both cars were amazing with the fiesta's being a tad more supportive... My upper back does not fit in either though but I am an extreme case (230lb Bodybuilder) This car will really make you feel like a trouble making kid again lol! I'm 36 years old and I just ordered mine... I now know what all the hype is about! Thank you guys for having this forum it has helped me a lot in choosing this car... My stage 3 will be here before I even receive my car most likely!

Congrats man !!
I never understood the love of miata's (while i had a 400+ whp srt4 ), but after buying a stocl crx Si, it didn't take long to start to understand "fun slow cars".

I think the fist is the perfect mix of something extremely fun and kinda fast.

Add 80-100whp, its gets even more interesting, lol. Tires and brakes wanted. Lol.

I feel the exact same way, absolutely love this car. I come from a sportbike background and the Fiesta is almost comparable. Still love bikes

i thought i was perfectly snug in my recaro's at 225 lbs (bulked to that weight, weightlifter like you) and now that i'm just shy of 195 it feels much more roomy near my lats and waist lol

Grats on the purchase, but i cant figgure out why anyone ever bought a PT Cruiser. It is such an ugly turd, it could have and should have been killed in its infancy.

you will love the FiST.

Welcome to the club. I totally get what you mean. I came from a built 383 camaro, then on to a 3 series BMW, and got laid off from a job. That's when I picked up a small honda hatch for the first time. That grew into a type R hatch and then onto a turbo crx, with full suspension.
Then I drove Fiesta, can't believe how much fun this thing is to get around in. I felt the same about the focus, it felt more normal and larger to me.

I too had my stage 3 on the car right after break in 1100miles.
Good luck, Have Fun!

Had stage 3 with DHM race intercooler before my first service interval. You should have seen the look on the tech's face.

Chances are he did the rwd conversion with that much HP (PT Bruiser?). I've seen well sorted First gen focuses with rwd 302's that SKOOOT.

Yes, some have even dropped NA Cobra mod motors in them (some lunatics even the Termi boosted ones!! ), as well as the current Coyote 5.0s I'm sure.
