Really should have made a sports car with the MS3 engine/transmission on a different two door platform.

They basically did, it's called the mustang ecoboost/ focus ST.

>>15638929
Memeing aside, Focus is a souped up econobox and the Mustang is too big and pigfat for what I'm talking about.

>>15638938
...souped on econobox? so what is a ms3 exactly?

>>15638900
No new mx3 with miata engine.

This isn't a meme, it's a fact.

>Focus is a souped up econobox
yes and it performs extremely well

>>15638942
Which is why I said different platform. Only thing I'm saying to keep is the engine and transmission.

A figment of your imagination.

ok, real talk, im looking at a 2005 focus st zx4 for $1300. are these fuckers worth buying with the 2.3 mazda engine and keeping it as a fun econocar?

>he wants to keep the transverse engine/ transmission
>he wasn't two door sports car

I really wanted a Mazda 3 or 6, the interiors were great, ride was soft on both, but they're absurdly slow.

All they had to do was put an engine in one above 200 hp and I would've went out and bought one. Now I'm probably going to probably buy an Accord V6 or Focus ST.

>dat feel when you everyone on the road seems to merge into other lanes at the perfect time for you to not only pass them, but feel like you're going twice as fast as you actually are because they're slowing down to merge.

>>15638973
the accord v6 is like a completely different car. the Focus ST drove really well and the clutch was amazing, but the interior was CHEAP. The accord felt way nicer and a V6 hands down beats a l4 turdo.

>>15639005
Beats it in a straight line maybe. Performance wise the ST crushes the Accord.

Why do they all say "citation needed"?

Beggars can't be choosers. At that price point you're just looking for the most mileage you can get out of it before it shits the bed.
