In February I bought a brand new Evo X. I really thought it was what I wanted. The performance for price is unmatched. As weeks went by I grew very tired of the constant rattles, fighting for small things to get corrected under warranty, and spending $90 on fuel a week. Today I took in my Evo to a local Ford dealer and traded it in on a 2015 Performance Blue Fiesta ST. I honestly would have gone for a Focus ST had it not been for the gas mileage as the prices are very comparable. I test drove both and really couldn't tell a huge difference besides the Fiesta handling better and the Focus being a little faster. Neither matched the performance of the Evo but I also got a lot of unwanted attention in the Evo. I got pulled over twice in the last couple of weeks for doing about 9 over each time. I had forgotten there was a reason I sold my 04 STI when I did. I constantly got pulled over in it for small things that I never got pulled over in any of my other vehicles for. Past rides include my Evo X, 04 STI, 01 B5 S4, G35 Coupe, E36 M3, E46 M3. Now its come down to the Fiesta. I really missed driving something small that zips along unnoticed. I did fairly well on my trade as I got the equivalent to what I would ask at a private sale price. I have been shopping the Fiestas and Foci for about a year, less with the Fiesta and finally am getting my Fast Ford. I am excited to have a small sporty car that I can track and autocross without having to worry about reliability or things getting too out of hand as well as a much lower car payment. I am expecting the car in 6 weeks time and the only option I ordered was the Recaro package. They have a brand new 2014 completely base blue one for sale with some good incentives but I told myself I could not have a FiST without the Recaro seats.
