Oh shadow.

Hey, I mean it. You bought my favorite hot hatch, you smexy soulja. But I wouldn't be heartbroken if someone handed me the keys to a GTI or MS3, either.

i was 3 1/2 inches away from buying an MS3 before the ST came out. If I were going to mod it anytime soon, I would have gone MS3, but this is the DD for picking up the grand kids, only it's a lot of fun till you get to the grand kid's house! :D Despite all the hoopla, there isn't much difference between the 2 platforms stock as far as performance. The MS3 has more power potential until you start swapping turbos and the ST has a bit better frame, interior, and gas mileage. I'd be happy with either.

I might wind up buying an ST yet. Don't quite know yet. Have to sit in one with the base seats.

Sit in one. It is like a lowered ranger. Low, but seat to foot angle like a truck. I couldnt get over it.

Lower the seat.

Btw that's the gripe I have about the passenger seat. The driver seat lowers to the right height (for me) but the passenger seat is not height adjustable and feels a little too high.

If the focus didnt have such a negitive vibe around it for being an entry level econobox. I'd buy the Focus ST. Focus ST is on the same playing field as a GTI, and I would say it would keep up with an R32. Doesnt fall into the 300HP range of evo or STi but I believe it would give them a run for the money.

All of my ford clients got an ugly urine yellow Focus ST. It does have recaro seats, and it moves. Me and the sales manager took one out while I was there a few days ago. Very impressed with this little car. If I lived in the city, this would be my hatchback rocket.

Pressing Torrie for more details on the bolt ons used. 313/355 is pretty nice, especially if it's only with some basics.
