Not even designed by ford
Ford literally cant make their own car without having their hand held. And even then they make unreliable shit.

They could have converted it to swing arm easily.

but I guess in order to keep the cost so low it remains the same as the base fiesta.

someone probably already has a swing arm conversion. let aftermarket do the rnd is their thinking probably.

they literally cornered the market for retarded 18-24 year old retail managers who want to feel like an adult by making their first big adult purchase (financing a 20k car at 8% pa for 4 years).
and allowing third parties to flood the aftermarket with crappy flash tunes that honor warranty... they pulled in all the retards who think lurking forum posts about the difference between diNoXanalFiST-flash tune stage 1 and diNoXdickFiST-flash tune stage 1.5 for six hours makes them a 'enthusiast and modifier'

Last time I checked the Toyobaru doesn't have thousands of owners complaining about powertrain/transmission failures online.

and retards call this an 'enthusiasts' car just because it comes with an option for recaro seats (so do honda odysseys and suzuku ingis' btw) lmaro

>>16339833
>Brembo brakes on small cars
>useful

Tires determine braking distance, and Brembos are too powerful for the stock tires on either car, and only help them lock up sooner. Pointless in adding Brembos unless you're going to upgrade to much wider/stickier tires first.

Again, I'd like to see a Miata do 8:14 on Nurburgring with nothing but a set of track pads.

>>16339879

maybe if you got a brand new, top trim camry for 38-40k?

and even then we're still talking about marginally faster 0-60 times.

>>16339875
Fwd is garbage, what do you want? The new civic type r has > 300 hp and the 0-60 is embarrassing

It's the same reason why MS3s, covalt SSs, and SRT4s have to race from a 30 mph roll. From a dig? Terribly inefficient

>>16339884
>Again, I'd like to see a Miata do 8:14 on Nurburgring with nothing but a set of track pads

Not really. Bigger brakes also take heat better, and multiple pistons spread the load over the pad.

I'm not going to pretend hot hatches are better than sports/muscle cars, but there is literally nothing with them if you're on a small budget. They're a good stepping stone to proper performance cars.

I don't understand the hate, probably from people who have never driven one.

Judging a car on memes is just stupid. I like my WRX, but also see the appeal of the ST lineup.

If you can't find something to appreciate about the Fieta ST performance, you aren't a real enthusiast, bottom line.

I dunno man, my ST is pretty playful when you throw it into a corner, and the dynamic torque vectoring keeps it from understeering unless you really fuck things up. It's just so fun to fling, like it's eager to carve up the canyons. What with the international performance pedigree and the predictable behavior, I think it makes a great entry level sporty car. Plus it gets 35+ MPG if you keep your foot out of it.

Is it faster than a Corvette? Will it beat up TT V12's on the street? No. It's an economical grocery getting that does 0-60 in slightly less than forever. But if you think a FiST is boring, go test drive a Mitsubishi Mirage.

Own a FiST, this is exactly what it feels like. It's a hyperactive puppy with a saddle. Even if you're only at 1/3 throttle, you can still feel the turbo trying to urge you to go faster. Even a slight turn of the wheel causes you to dart in that direction. It just wants to GO GO GO.

i'd rather be the guy in a rwd sports car than the guy in the fwd econo based cuckbox, no matter the lap times.

>>16344682
Thats pretty sad when you consider that the FiST costs $21k and the FRS costs $26k

>>16344721
yes because the frz is a upgraded base model fwd hatchback

t. na driver

>>16338930
The Mazda2 is sold as the Scion iA here though.

>>16344798
It might as well be if it can't beat one

>>16338970
Welcome to owning a car with more than 130hp. And no its not hard. You aren't suppose to drop the clutch at 6k rpm btw.

>>16338972
Since the company began they were stealing designs huh? Never heard of the model T?

I'll take niggahs that spew bullshit for a 1000 alex.

>>16340214
What do you drive?

>>16344715
Naturally it comes down to personal taste, but needing to put someone else's opinion down just to feel good about yours speaks volumes to the tune of massive insecurity.

Just making up some random shit to justify inadequate breaks on a 'sports' car.

lmao, you people are the type of dumb niggers to shill/own an srt4 neon

it may be quick, but it's a massive pile of fucking garbage that no one really wants, similar to the trash """"performance""" fwd cars made by ford

stop benchracing & realize laptimes aren't everything

>>16345093
Model t was not the first car ever made moron

>>16345409
Have you driven both? Didn't think so.

I like unique things about both cars, and can convey them, because I don't have any insecurities pushing their way into my opinions and making me act like a child. The Toyobaru handles exquisitely, with tuning, it is an amazing vehicle. The Fiesta ST has insane torque for how light it is and is ridiculously fun on and off track.

There, that wasn't so hard was it? Try not to be so triggered, mate.

>>16345530
It was however the first successful large-scale production commonly owned automobile

>>16345409
>BTFO by a FiST and Never Recovered: The Post

>>16345957

not him, but I have.

ended up buying a JCW cooper instead of a fiesta a while back. now I got a BRZ.

fiesta is fine but i'd rather have an abarth or civic if I was limited to FWD for some bizarre reason.

>>16346112
Some might say, FiSTed

>>16345409

at the very least, the 2.0l ND people are right in being smug about their car being slightly faster.

sad truth, and I hate breaking it to you people, but the fiesta st isn't actually faster than the 86, by any metric.

>>16346127
Except in drivability, every day acceleration, tunability.... The BRZ is a nice platform with a sickly and anemic engine.

>>16346135

live rear axles and torque steer, you mean?

>>16346138
What torque steer? There's too much torque for the tires to grip let alone steer.

>>16338902
is this yours anon?

this is the first one i've seen that i genuinely like. anymore pics?

>>16346138
>live rear
>FWD

Hello car throttle

>torque steer

Literally a made up issue. My skinny boyracer arms can handle a 400whp Mazdaspeed3 with zero conscious effort. Nobody is so weak they can't even handle a Fiesta.

>>16346172
That's just an unmodded 14-15 Fiesta ST with plastidipped wheels m8. They all look like that.

>>16346181
>Literally a made up issue

I'm done.

>>16346184
maybe it's just the black and black wheels i like.

do they all come with that spoiler/diffusertype thing

>>16346191
Yep! At least the MY 14-17's do, I think the platform is getting a refresh for 2018.

And the 16-17 have a real black wheel option, so you don't have to plastidip them (but they don't have the metallic flake in the paint).

>>16346206
well i like that one, i'm sure they're fun to drive, just not crazy about the looks yet

>>16346206
I have black wheels with metallic paint, and the paint definitely has flakes in it.

>>16338944
Yes
>FWD

>>16346225
16 and up Fiesta's don't have the metallic flake in their paint as they changed from Tuxedo Black to Shadow Black for that model year. That was also the year they introduced black wheels as a stock option.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>16345990
>built cheap
>sold at high profit
>based on someone elses design
Sounds like ford

>>16346261

Gay

I love the tuxedo black in my '15

Why the fuck would they get rid of it?

>>16339886
Lol any V6 Camry or Aurion would stomp the toyobaru

>>16346273

I'm sure.

>>16346270
I also love the Tuxedo Black on my '15.

I really can't think of a good reason they would get rid of it, other than to maybe give the model a bit of a refresh (which is coming next year anyway).

>>16346261
I got confused there.

I don't have black, I have grey which Ford calls "metallic." And it has flake in it.

>>16346321
More like gunmetal gay

>>16346321
Magnetic might have a flake still, I haven't seen one too closely, but it's definitely not the bassboat like sparkle of the previous paints.

>>16339719
have you driven either of these cars?

>>16346120
Jcw cooper is also hilariously fun. Like mentioned, I ended up with a WRX myself, but I get hands on experience with a large number of varying vehicles weekly.

Abarth a grumbly little cute.

>for some bizarre reason
The very essence of personal taste, my friend. Personal taste is the exact reason the Mazda 2 and Fiesta exist side by side.

>>16346420
>I ended up with a WRX
How do you like? I'm considering this as my next car. Would go with the premium trim level.

>>16346420
Abarth 500 is extra hilarious when you tune it to 200+ HP. The same tunes should work on the 124, which will make it properly nuts.

>>16346537
Does the 124 sound as cool as Abarth 500?

>>16346545
The 124 Spider sounds like shit.
The 124 Abarth sounds like the Abarth 500.

AKA like half a Ferrari

>>16346266
>sold at high profit
What does this even mean? You sell things at price not at profit. Profits are your potential positive returns on products that you have created and brought to market.

>>16346545

>124 Abarth
Good, gutteral, but can still tell it's a tarbo 4 when revving the piss out of it
>124 Abarth + Record Monza exhaust
Louder and more gutteral
>124 Abarth + MM Bombardone 2.0
God has come down from the heavens and the angels are singing Hallelujah. It's not out for the 124 yet, but here's how it sounds on the 500

MUH DICC

>>16346440
It's everything I needed in a car and then some. Honestly the interior isn't great, it's a bit Spartan, but that also means it isn't cluttered with useless bells and whistles.

Driving-wise, it's absolutely phenomenal for the price. Go test drive one and put your foot into it often, see how much fun you have.

>>16338895

i finally understand why /o/ likes ford... you guys only keep your cars for a year before selling them due the car breaking down
