    30k on my fiesta st and didn't even see the stealership once for an issue. love this thing more and more each day.





    EDIT:

    I'll just say this, the stock potenza tires while they are very sticky and amazing summer tires...lasted about 10k before the fronts were bald. Wouldn't buy them again....Especially since they're about $180 a pop!

      Yes, simply yes.

      Best color club.

      What are your next tires? I'll be looking at some sooner rather than later I think. Plus the PO didn't use the free Ford driving school that came with the car, so I'd like to have a set to throw on after said school.

          Love them so far, great performance for how cheap I got them. For the winter I have older focus svt 6 spoke wheels with conti extreme winter contact tires. This past winter was a breeze up here in jersey, I think the worst was 6-8 inches and it ripped through without an issue. lol it's hard to find something this car doesn't do well.

                I have a loaded 2014 Fiesta ST in White on its way to me now. It had only 3k on the odo and was priced as a new, non-Recaro.

                I will be trading in my 2010 Mitsu Lancer Ralliart. Trust me when I say this: I don't want to. I love this car, but its neither practical for the use (trunk space/MPG) and I'm ready for a manual again. It's been too long. Mitus' SST is bar none a real DCT. You will find yourself browsing GTR clutch gear in the same searches (wet system w/oe cooler).

                It still snaps heads at lights, everyone wants to race me, be their BF or BFF (sometimes I can't even tell from the gear heads) and pretty much anytime I sit still in it long enough. It can actually get pretty damned old.

                The above is the ONLY reason I don't like the car. The main reason I like is is that it isn't a Subaru and the AWC/SST makes the WRX look like a Handa AWD in anything slippery(include autoX) ;>

                Ford's ST has a lot to live up to, but it's the best choice right now that checks all my boxes. phrasing

                pm me for details if you think you can beat a trade in price for the Mitsu in the next few days. It's a stocker except for Cosworth filter (fuq oil), EvoX metal BOV and axle back. Parts never installed to be negotiated. No real ETA currently on delivery of the fiesta.

                  But seriously, Fiesta ST.

                  Drive one and confirm how awesome it is, then I'll likely argue about getting one or not inside my own brain for a few more months and finally cave under the pressure.

                    not sure what the budget is, and not sure if it was suggested, but the new 5.0 mustang is a beast.
                    I'm not a mustang guy at all, but after driving/being in my friends' on multiple occasions, it seems like the best option for the money.

                      I drove different early model mustangs and none of them was special. Its true that they are mostly cheap cars. Handles bad, terrible interior quality, nothing special exterior but man new mustang is just great. Ford did well with new models. It looks and drives great. Would I buy one ? Still not sure because of mustang community.

                        exactly man, they completely jumped on the right path this time.

                        the community thing is true, but meh, the same goes for most newer cars.
                        vw, subaru, evo guys, etc. most car guys are douche bags once you really get to know them. each community has its select few that are worth knowing, i'm sure mustangs are the same, especially since this new gen is attracting a whole other type of enthusiast.
