I just picked it up on Saturday. It's a 2013 Ford Focus ST. It really is unbelievable how much fun this little car is to drive. Its definitely not rocket fast but it's reasonably quick and it handles like a go cart. I would bet that it handles nearly on par with the Boss and actually better in the tight stuff. The car has all of Ford's cool tech stuff (NAV, My Ford Touch) and a great Sony audio system. The keyless entry and start are nice features too. The Recaro seats are amazing! I have to say that the room is great for a small car too. It actually swallowed my new 55" Samsung Smart TV, Pioneer receiver, and LG sound bar this afternoon. I was shocked... figured I'd have to leave everything at the store and come back. It doesn't hurt that the gas mileage is phenomenal too. I actually laughed when I ran it nearly empty today and then filled it up... a whopping $36! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

It's a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo... 252hp, 270ft/lbs. It's not bad in a car this light but SCT already came out with a tune that adds 23 and 45 at the tires. I might just have to do that.

Thanks... totally different feel than the old SVT Focus. That car was a screamer with very little low end. This car has a lot of low end torque for a small engine.
Gas mileage is 23 city/32 freeway.

Will do. I love the car so far. It's better than I'd expected... in just about every way.

I traded in my bullitt for an oxford white ST last month. I hate telling people I got a focus LOL, but a quick test drive changes opinions quickly.

Go with the Cobb access port. Pretty much free tunes for life and you can upload different maps for each mod as you go.

I get phenomenal deals on my vehicles. I drove the Raptor for 2 years and put over 37k miles on it. I sold it for $2500 less than I paid for it new. Doesn't sound like throwing away a lot of money to me.
