Why haven't you bought a Fiesta ST yet, /o/?

>>17658861
Because I would always be depressed that I didn't just buy a Focus RS instead.

>>17658870
There are people who have bought the RS and miss their FiST. It's not any more fun.

I can't justify the price.

>>17658861
Way too much $$$ for a fwd grocery getter. If you want to have fun in a fwd buy a cheap shitbox, throw on some good suspension, tires and a turbo and achieve the same thing for a fraction of the price. Or drop the same on the "slower" rwd alternative but then you have unlimited performance potential.

bought one 3 months ago. i still love it but parts are starting to feel cheap particuarly the AC controls and system itself. i didnt realize until last week if you hold down the ESC button instead of just pressing it you can drift pretty easily

>>17658861
Felt too cramped.
Bought a FoST instead.

I'll buy it when they are used.

New cars cost wayyyyyyyy too much for no reason. I can wait 5 years and buy it for half price.

>>17658861
because i'm not a boyracer faggot and i don't need a cuckbox

>>17658891
>There are people who have bought the RS and miss their FiST
You don't need to lie to yourself to make you feel better about your purchase anon

>>17658861
Because it looks like a bug. Like a mite or tick. I saw a dark maroon painted fiesta and it looked like a blood-engorged tick.

Doesn't the FiST get a 3 cylinder soon.

Because I bought a FoST. Still fun but I have usable space to move shit. It might be a fwd grocery getter but it's also a fun DD. Its a practical car that I can still row gears and cut up corners.

>>17659031
My Abarth does the same thing. Pressing it is "partial" off and holding it is "holy shit nigger what are you doing" off.

>>17659110
Yes.
It's also not coming to burgertopia.

>>17658861
Why did you post an example that was modded in such a shitty way?

It's a fucking Fiesta, you can't really ruin it.

>>17659078
>New cars cost wayyyyyyyy too much for no reason

>>For no reason

Cars are disposable and made of a million wear items, senpai. For regular cars it doesn't really make a difference since you're just trying to get from A to B - but if you think there's absolutely 0 difference after 5 years then you have no idea how shit works.

Ever wonder why older cars start to creak and rattle? It's because the entire fucking chassis has started to flex and move a bit after a hundred thousand miles on the road.

Now is having a car that drives like it was fresh off the factory floor worth the depreciation? Probably not, but then again that depends on the person. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're getting the exact same experience for 50% off, though.

>>17658861

>>17658870

But then you'd just end up depressed that you didn't buy an STI

>>17658861
Who thought naming it the "fiesta" was a good idea? Who the fuck wants to drive a car with a fruity name like that?

>>17659738
its a party car nigga

It means celebration, party, having a fun good romp.

Gosh, I feel sorry for those RS drivers. I bet they cry themselves asleep every night wishing they were slower.

>>17659738
imagine being this insecure that you rule out a car because it has a 'fruity name'. If youre that worried about people realzing your a fag just pretend to have a long distance gf

According to Car and Driver (the first place I looked)

The STI is
>1.3 seconds faster to 100mph
>2.6 seconds faster to 130mph
>.1 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile with 3mph higher trap speed.

Why is the Focus RS the most circle jerked car on this board if it can't outdo a 64 year old Subaru design?

>>17659779

Girls don't care about cars. A girl might tell you it's cute and seats are weird, but that's it. In the real world enthusiasts only comment on your car if they like it and ignore you if you don't.

>>17659882
Most girls aren't going to be too proud of riding around in a souped up econobox because that's all their boyfriend can afford working at Autozone.

>>17659896
Girls don't care about what they're being driven in (unless they're vapid thots, in which case it just needs to look expensive). As long as the car is clean inside, not rusting outside, and isn't covered in anime/trump stickers, they aren't going to care what car it is. Fiesta ST has heated seats which are made for womanlet proportions, and you can plug in your phone and stream Spotify, that's the kind of stuff girls like.

About fucking time, the EJ is two decades old at this point. I hope they don't be "safe" pussies with it either, I expect 360HP minimum. Any modern turbo engine can handle 150 HP/L reliably for the long term.

Annnnd the interior is garbage and the build quality is obviously shit. When a new ST feels like it's put together worse than used made in Mexico VAGshit you know you have fucked up.

>>17659507
it looks like fucking shit along with the autistic steelies

The only people who own these in Europe are poor people who got in debt. The interior is also shit

Because a fucking used BMW M3 is better in virtually every single way.

>>17658861
Because I own the superior Ford escort cosworth OP.

>>17663916
There is a reason no one wants to buy those.

You fell for the FWD is bad meme

>>17658861
I'm waiting for the transmission issue to get resolved first.

>>17664046
The 86 out-sells the Focus ST and the Fiesta ST combined here. Most dealerships are constantly out of stock. I've got a fwd now and it's horrible. RWD is always more fun.

>>17658861
Because I have a FoST, because I'm a burger and don't need to compromise on interior space, and because I'd rather have something that doesn't dog leg and feel as squirrely as the FiST does.

Source - Went to ST Octane Academy and drove both after year of ownership.

>>17664079
That factually is not true. Look up the numbers

>>17664079
No. Jan-Sept 2016 the focus ST alone sold 9,000 units in the US alone.

In comparison, the FRS and BRZ did not even crack 4 digits in a single month.

>>17660716
the rwd meme needs to end. theres not a new car on earth you can buy for under 20k that is more (or as much) fun and even driving it like a hoon I still get great fuel economy

>>17663037
I can afford the fuel but its gonna need filling a lot more often than my old cuckbox

>>17658861

its not an SUV or truck

I love my mazdaspeed 3 but the RS is getting more appealing by the day

>>17660791

Of course it's slower. Once you get past the massive circle jerk, the STI is the better car.

What people don't get is it's the mid 90's Japanese car that we all love, just updated for modern times.

It's crazy how /o/ will go crazy for the FD/3000GT/Supra/300ZX but will shit all over the STI. They have the same driving dynamics. Singer does this with the 911 but when Subaru does it with a 3 year/60,000 mile warranty, no one gives a shit.

You can always tell who has never driven an STI by their bench racing shitposts in which they suck the tailpipe of the RS without doing any research.

I'll probably buy one in a year or two used desu. They look pretty cool.

>>17658861
The wheels actually look nice but the suspension looks to be setup by a lobotomised retard.

I was considering getting one but I can't afford it. Will have to find something else to drive my ass to my new job 40 minutes away every day. My 30 year old gas guzzler wont make it

>>17658861
Because I'm not giving Ford any money untill they make a Fiesta RS.

>>17660741
Having owned a Peugeot made in this decade, hell no. Not without an extensive warranty.

>>17658870
The RS is 15k more, and theydont even sell them anymore. There are FiSTs all over CL for decent prices. Plus they are not even close to similar cars. You are retarded.

>>17659110
Its been around for a while. Its an option in the SE trim for 1k more. Oretty decent option TBQH. Both dyno'd whp and actual fuel economy are better than listed by Ford. I would definitely pick one up used but tgey are hard to find.

>>17658861
Don't fit in one.

it's by no means a highway cruuiser. It's GOAT for 15 minute trips around

>>17667280
>>17667282
Nah, you had it right the first time.

>>17667918
I bought hookline and sinker for the "more fun to drive a slow car fast meme" as the extra 6-7k wasn't a consideration and I had the choice between new FoST or FiST. Coming from a wrangler the speed and power of the Fist felt like more than enough but after a month I'm already completely desensitized to it and feel like I'm crawling up to 60. I still love how fast I can throw it into turns but I would love another 150 hp on top

>>17667995
start modding it, the car responds really well to them due to having a stock turbo

>>17668012
Stock turbo maxes out roughly around 245HP/290TRQ, due to how tiny it is. Not that this is slow in a small car.

>>17668065
then replace the turbo, you can get over 300 hp on stock internals

Of course, though that's pretty expensive. The fast spool is part of the personality, makes it feel like a hyperactive puppy. A few guys on the FiST forums daily with over 350HP on stock internals actually.

This is the correct answer, fuck Peugeot.
