Positives
>great pull in gears 2-3-4 between 3000-6000 RPM
>steering is super fast and precise, 2.5 turns lock-to-lock means never leaving 9 and 3 outside a parking lot
>6MT box feels pretty much flawless with a simple bushing mod
>easy to drive fast, handles neutrally on power, will easily oversteer (torque vectoring) off power with ESC off
>31 MPG (37 for Euros) despite being on boost pretty much constantly
>SYNC 3 is the best infotainment system I've ever used (simple and fast)
>generally has the personality of a hyperactive puppy that just want to GO GO GO
Cons
>the visibility is pretty mediocre, especially over the shoulder
>lots of torque + FWD + open diff + short 1st gear means this thing can't launch for shit (I can't get under 6 seconds going 0-60mph)
>the plastic used on the gauge cluster and infotainment may be the worlds cheapest plastic
>it looks like an engorged tick from the size and catfish from the front
>the 4x108 is a weird bolt pattern, 205/40/17 is weird tire size, and the wheel wells don't even have room for things like 225 without rubbing
Facts
>the stock Potenza tires are an aged tire design originally made for the Ferrari Enzo
>nobody seems to think the stripes/red calipers/recaros/interior lighting is stock, but it is
>it has a full size spare unlike 95% of modern cars which use donuts or runflats

>Sounds like a Grand Prix V12 when you crack open the go pedal
>93 model year = most options and stiffest suspension
>parts are cheap
>fuel mileage is decent
>don't have to downshift to pass on the freeway because DOHC V6 + 4.39 final and .79:1 5th = 3500rpm @ 70mph
>Mazda KL V6 has decent aftermarket and will do 140mph if you hold it down long enough
>pop up's are /o/ approved
Cons
>FWD
>Transmission is made of glass
>Ummm I'm kind of stretching here
Facts
>The Mazda KL is actually a Porsche design, Porsche designed it for F1 in the Turbo V6 days of the 1980's and a change in regulation shelved the design, Mazda bought it and modified it for mass production
>The KL has a shorter stroke than an Integra Type-R of the same period and with a built valvetrain and supporting NA mods the engine will easily do 12,000 rpm
>The Probe GT was Motor Trend's 1993 Car of the Year

All I know is that previous Sync/MyFord Touch is a Microsoft OS and Sync3 is Blackberry OS, and that the old system sucked ass. 2013-15 Fiestas have the last Sync, while 2016-17 have Sync3.
