Picked up a commuter car

[NOVA_Ranger]

2019 Fiesta ST with 35k miles. Pretty clean and price was ‘decent’ for the current market, so I pulled the trigger. I’ve had my eye on these little cars forever, and they are a blast to drive…big go karts.

My FiST was a blast. Cashed out of it when prices were ridiculous as I didn't drive it much.

Best factory suspension on a FWD car ever.

Have you figured out the lift throttle oversteer yet? If not I can give you the recipe.

Only thing I would want more is the Focus RS. Ford really nailed it with the ST cars. Top bad the market clearly hated them....

Sharp looking car. Glad it's not blue

I had a 2012 focus followed up by a 2016 focus. Ford really nailed it with their Rally car knock-offs. Lots of fun to drive and I averaged 34 mpg while driving like I stole it. I can only imagine what the RS and ST versions of these little cars are like.

Awesome find! Guy at work has one with down pipe and a Cobb tune. That thing is quick. I had never been in one before and honestly didn’t know much about them. I’ve wanted one since.

It doesn't hesitate to spin the tires, plenty of power for what it is and I doubt I'll even bother tuning it. My truck is a lot faster off the line, but this thing is VERY fun to zip around in.

My wife had one of those before her Escape. She liked the fun factor of it. She was tossing that thing into to corners enough that she said this about her Escape when she got it: "I like the space but this thing feels like it's going to roll over in corners."

I just had to laugh at my wife being a fan of cars with good handling.

My Ranger is going to feel like Big Foot after driving this little thing.

No, that is a rather fair statement. The nimble handling of the FiST gives it a more fun drive than the FoST. In a straight line the FoST is faster, but straight lines are boring. FoRS though, that is a whole different level from either ST.

I told my wife I’ve always wanted a third car in the driveway. Nothing special but boy would it be nice to have a backup vehicle in the event something happened to one of the other ones.

Do they come with manual or auto trans?

Love my Focus ST! Have now had it 9+ years. ZERO problems. Zero, nada, goose egg, zilch issues. Love it. Truly so. Fun factor never fades. Definitely a sleeper to the majority of the population.

And just to shock my fellow forum members.... drum roll here.... it is Race Red.
