my niggas

i stopped by a ford stealership today. I just wanted to walk the lot and see if could find some ST's. From what people tell me the FiST is much more of a blast to drive compared to the focus. Any thoughts on this?

>>17132232
Is this the daily econobox thread?

>>17132486
They're both fun in their own way.
Test drive them both and find out for yourself.

>>17132599
i shall. as a velosturd owner i was leaning more towards the FiST.

Never seen another RS in the San Antonio Texas area, just took it out to TX337 last week bunch of tight twisties and elevation change. So very happy with this car I had a white 2014 ST before.

Hey guys so I'm between the FiST and the FoST
I am planning to have whichever I get for a good while are they both cheap and easy to maintain?
Reliable?

I'm in Austin and I can't find a good used one of either

>>17132651
I have mixed feelings about the RS.

>>17132739
A new FiST with recaros (the ST1 cloths suck compared to FoST1) is much more worth it imo. I have a FoST1 I bought used (about same as new FiST) and the value went down a shit load and now i'm not sure if i want to keep it

Looking back now I think the FiST would be more fun, and I don't need the extra space (the dash and backseats are fuckhuge so most of it isn't useable). Also would have been more fun with mods I think. Don't get me wrong tho I'm still tracking/autoxing my FoST and trying to get it's full worth, but in the back of my mind I kinda wished I got the FiST with recaros in kona blue.

>>17132769

I don't know if I'm able to get full on new unless I give a left nut. But I could try.

Im liking the blue alot dude. And ok well what about the "power" difference?
Is it not too noticable since they're different sizes?

>>17132796
The power is noticeably different, but the FiST is much more nimble and feels more natural. Still the power delivery on stock tune is kinda ok, but with a tune you can get more natural feeling power
The FoST is heavy feeling and you lose some certainty at low speeds. 50 less HP, 70 ftlb less, 500 lbs lighter

>>17132827
Basically I'm better off with the FiST lol I was actually hoping so.

And are parts for them cheap since its ford?

>>17132850
Parts are so cheap they're practically free lol

>>17132897
This is exactly why I have mixed feelings about the RS.

>>17132850
yeah maintenance parts are cheap and since it's new enough you'll probably get a warranty. $3.50 for oem oil filter and you can find it at walmart.

the most expensive thing I had replaced was the radiator which was like $400 i think? Covered on warranty

>>17132713
I've got intake, rear motor mount, brakes, hpfp, and a tune on my speed so far. Next up this weekend is the coilovers and turbo back

>>17132713

>>17132897
It really isn't guy...the RS is a very flexible vehicle and just as fast on any competitive track I really don't see it as fair with your highway pulls mindset. This car has much improved slolam speeds and times and is a way better driving experience.

The RS will never sound as nice though.

How much does the FoRS go for these days? Most of my local dealerships have them at around $40k online, which seems way too expensive for what it is. Seems like a nice car otherwise though (I have no plans to buy a Ford).

I'm curious what people actually pay for them at the dealership.

More like $36k and the ones on lots are always optioned up.

>>17133410
Just wait till it gets hit by the Dealer markup, you'd be lucky to buy one in 5yr at original MSRP.

>>17133361
You'd be hard pressed to find one for less than that.
And 40k for a focus is a hard pill to swallow.

Forgot to mention

>FiST so my car is much smaller and has a full size spare instead of a donut

>>17133612
I'd imagine they jsut didn't want to put the R&D into retrofitting one for the production model and raising the entry cost that much further because it was AWD

Which is sort of the problem has with the RS right now, it's too expensive for a small hatchback for the mass market.

>>17133569
Best looking, not the best driving. They don't feel very sporting to drive.

>>17133533
>look at pricing
For a fully decked out Fiesta ST I can get a Focus ST with a good bit of the options.

>>17133736
It's not though, since SVT is produced is the US engineering team and the ST/RS is the Euro side of it.

>>17133691
It does not have sporty handling. But It's super comfy and really nice to cruise in. 2 doors is cool as fuck and It looks the best. It has some serious sr8 line speed tho boi.

>>17133753
Except ST is both SVT and RS grouped together so it essentially is

>>17133666
the hood on your 240z does not line up eh? Mine does the same thing... Any idea how to fix it?

>>17133766
No it's not. ST is part of the Rallye Sport branding, not Special Vehicles Team (which is still a thing)

RS produced the ST and RS, while SVT is SVT. Outside of both being owned by Ford, neither group is a part of the other.

>>17132232

>>17133772

Gonna find that out when I strip it for paint. I know my car was an accident victim and repaired about 20 years ago, so we'll see if I can unjank it a bit when I tear it all apart.

>>17133786
yeah see you're wrong there bud.

The entirety of the group falls under just "Ford Performance" division.
SVT is now ST because excluding the Raptor, SVT no longer produces anything because they're now ST, Sport Technology.

You're clearly out of the loop so i dont blame you

>>17133812
That's not how it works.. The new ST was developed by Ford TeamRS, along with the RS. (the team they replaced was SVE, not SVT)

SVT had was not a part of the ST nor RS produced models.

THE MK1 Focus ST170/SVT wasn't even done with TeamRS, it was done with SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) and SVT.

Three doors don't do too well over here for some reason.

>>17135424
Don't they sell the GTI in 2 and 4 door? It's so funny that was Ford's reasoning but the seats in the back of the FiST are pretty much useless for any reasonably sized adult.

>>17135642
It's 5 door only now.
3 door is kill in the us.

>>17138090
Fair enough. I just don't under stand why people don't drop the extra couple thousand for a Focus over a Fiesta.

Is it way heavier?

>>17138147
cause for an extra couple thousand you can just put a turbo on it.
then be smaller, lighter, and make as much as the focus.

>>17138147
Its a bit heavier, but makes more power. The FoST doesn't handle as well though.
That said, I love my FoST and wouldn't trade it in for a FiST.

I bought my FiST because it was exactly the car I was looking for. Price wasn't that big of a factor, I could've spent an extra 5-10k if I'd really wanted something else, but I specifically wanted a small and agile hatch with a decent amount of power, and the FiST is the only game in town. (In the US, anyway. I might have bought something French or German if I were in the UK/Europe.)

FiST is just smaller and some people really enjoy that. It tackles tighter corners better (the FoST's turning radius is not a highlight).

I love my FoST though, and needed/wanted the extra cargo capacity. It was a small step-down from my Mazda 3, but I can still fit a lot in there.

The rumored 2018 Version will have a smaller engine (why) and is uglier (pic related)

I have the Cobb downpipe and exhaust and five minutes into the test drive after I blew an oil line off the turbo and pissed oil all over the highway. Dealership warrantied it, said the banjo bolt holding in the oil line came loose and fell out lol.

Now, with the Cobb stage 3 tune I've noticed that the blowoff valve flutters under full boost. I want to believe that tune cranks up the PSI by a few so the blowoff valve will be the next thing to be replaced.

Maybe with the next-gen Fiesta.

I read an interview with one of the TeamRS people about this a while back. The current Fiesta platform can't handle AWD without major changes that weren't practical to do with a platform that only had a few years of life left, and they didn't think an FWD FiRS would sell enough to be worthwhile. (Basically it would end up costing enough that people would just spend a bit more and buy the AWD FoRS instead.)

However, it might happen with the new Fiesta if the platform is AWD-capable.

This is from car and driver, so I take it with a bit of skepticism, but does this have any truth to it?

>>17132897
You can boost the RS to 420+ hp with only ECU and downpipe. Tell me how you make the N/A engine of the GT faster?
A tuned RS will beat any Mustang on the track

Beyond stupid. It's like Americans are immun to facts and logic.

How do you guys cope with the 5-door? A 3 door would be perfect but it's not like there's much practical difference between a 3 and 5 door. And ultimately it's easier to haul passengers and every normie prefers 4 doors on the sides to 2.

It's just hard to accept the 5 door.

you guys deleted your sound symposer, right?

Not all, but it's a problem. He didn't even modify his car either.

>>17159002
Woah, I had no idea the RS had actual fake noise and not just a sound tube thingy like the ST.

That doesn't make much sense to me, considering the car sounds pretty damn mean. My friend took his up to the canyons a couple of weeks ago and we could hear him from quite far away, and it sounded badass.

>>17159002
I don't see this in my FoST.

Ive been looking into one of these cars for my next whip. Honestly leaning more towards the FiST than the focus.

In a lot of the reviews that Ive watched most people enjoy the FiST and say its more like driving a 'sportscar' while the focus is more like a muscle car. Can anyone relate?

Hopefully ill be test driving some soon if i can find a good deal.

>>17162125
Just drive em both and choose which is better for you.

I'd take an RS over a EcoBoost Stand anyday

>>17162803

>>17162803
The RS's price point means it's in competition with the GT, not the ecoboost.

>>17162852
I'd take on over a GT also
RS is much better all around performer

>>17163463
RS has capability to tune very well as long as you compromise the risk if you have the V4 engine. 93 octane Tune on V5 engine is without incident and puts the RS in a league above the GT at a cost of $650 until you supercharge the GT at many thousands but then the GT is very squirrly.

>>17161747
FoST is just the tube, RS tries to feed fake engine sound via speakers. I never removed the vented sound in the ST and have some great Roush exhaust and CAI sound with it.

>>17163801
No
I don't even think there is any 2 door hatches currently made here

Why are these so popular? Serious non-sarcastic question. I gotta say I'm surprised at how much people love ST's and RS's. Not just on /o/ but basically everywhere.

Explain the magic to me, /o/. Help me understand. Are they like the only good hot hatch available new right now? Do they offer something nothing else does? Are they really THAT good? Or is this all a meme?

Not trying to be dismissive, actually the opposite.

>>17165986
>Cheapest newer hot hatch to get into. People will mention the Abarth or the Veloster Turbo but those are pieces of shit.
>Characteristics of the car(4dr, fwd, puny engine without the turbo) means insurance is cheaper than a rwd coupe would have been
>Turbod
>Recaros spice up what is otherwise a pretty shit interior.
>Really good aftermarket support and lots of tuners with the acccessport.

I was picking between used FiST or FT86.

It's also cool all of the cars are only offered in a stick even the high end RS isn't offered with some flappy paddle transmission and I like that also.

>>17166107
Ah, thanks for the answer, I can definitely see the appeal in all of that. Sounds like a pretty good couple of cars.

Well the Swift Sport is good as well but far too weak to make it a true hot hatch. If there was a turbo option priced the same as a FiST and with around the same output, I'd probably have taken the Swift.

>>17170185
I want to rub my dick on that

I'm so close to deciding to buy a FiST. Should I find a lightly used one for like 13k or just say fuck it and go new? My better judgement tells me to avoid financing anything if I can help it but I also would love to be the first owner of a FiST.

Ah, a shitty fish faced cuckbox circle jerk. Nice one /o/.

Fuck that music is bad.

Also, the model is annoying.

My local Ford dealer has a NEW 2016 Fiesta ST on their lot for 17,800. That's 2016, not 2017. 0 miles on it, brand new, and that thing has been sitting there unsold since probably late 2015. That dealership mostly makes its money selling work trucks to businesses and trucks to rednecks with good credit.

How low do you think I could talk them down? They must be sick of looking at it. 15k? even lower?

How do I out jew the jews into letting me take this car off their hands. I'm in no hurry, I could offer them 14,500 or something and give them my number and just wait. Think that would work? Anyone ever gotten a car waaaaay below sticker price before like this?

ive been looking into the FiST. Are the recaros a must? cant find anything with those seats around me

>>17178117
I think the Recaros are standard everywhere except the US, I've never seen a FiST without them.

>>17178117
I wouldn't want a FiST without the Recaros. The interior looks really shit with the econobox stock Fiesta seats.

New, ordered November 2016, built January 10 2017, took delivery in February.

I was actually looking at a 2016 used one but it didn't have the 10 speaker sound system so I took that offer to my local Ford dealer and they offered me a brand new car for the same percentage off MSRP as the used one was (which was 32%).
Had to wait nearly 4 months but I think I got a breddy gud deal.
All said and done I paid €23,000 with nearly all optional extras and a set of winter tires on 17'' alloy wheels.

I kind of wish ST's had a bit more power and a bit less torque. All dynos of the FiST I've read suggest the lb-ft is a good 40% higher than the HP rating.

is it sad that I sold my Focus ST just because I couldn't deal with the other ST owners being such a bunch of fags? I thought Subaru owners were fucking weird and clingy but the ST crowd blew that stereotype out of the water completely.

Hey yall this is my first /o/ post ever

got a 2016 ST about a month ago. loving it
I do not have the ST3 package and when i'm on the highway with all windows and the sunroof open the music from my phone (on Bluetooth) is not as loud as I'd like it to be. (deaf)

Do any of you feel this way? What do you guys suggest I do? Does anyone know if the st3's upgraded stereo is louder?

>>17178117
I wouldn't have considered getting an ST without them, they were actually a major part of what drew me to the car in the first place. (Supportive seats are a big deal to me since I hit the canyons a lot, and thanks to side airbags etc. it's not really practical to swap for aftermarket in newer cars.)

I'd recommend finding a used ST with a decent amount of mileage on it to try sitting in, the seats really break in over time and they'll probably feel way too tight in a brand new car. I think a lot of the people who complain about them being uncomfortable haven't tried ones with 10+k on them.

>>17179181
New, on Dec. 31st '13. I may have been the first on /o/, there were certainly a lot of anons asking about it when I posted pics the next day. I got a really good deal on mine (23k loaded after TTL with 1.9% and they gave me way over KBB for my trade-in) and it wasn't until over a year later that I saw used ones start to hit prices where they would've been a better deal.

Not that package specifically, but I have an intake, intercooler, and a custom 93 tune that puts out ~230hp/~260tq. It's night and day compared to stock. E30 gives a bunch more torque, but about the same horsepower.

I wouldn't spend money on the locked down OTS Mountuners, their custom tunes are pretty good (Randy is the man), but the MP215/MR230 isn't a good value if you're in the US.

Zx3 has a fantastic light-ish chassis at around 2600 pounds, it's just stuck with a pretty lame economy motor.

Swaybars, brake pads and better tires if you want it fun on back roads

The NA 2.0 is long stroke and low revving, pretty much need to go turbo to make any power out of it. It's not worth doing non turbo mods to it.
