Agreed. Just needs a bit more power and a fix for the dual cluch tranny.

I know, but I'm talking about the regular Focus and it being nice but under powered.

Talking about a regular Focus in a Focus ST thread is a lot more relevant than what goes on in a lot of other threads...

I didn't, I simply replied to a couple of other posts that did. One of them was by the OP, so I figured they were okay with it. Basically I was agreeing with the OP that he needed a little more zip than the basic Focus had to offer.

Damn....339 wheel torque from a 2.0 turbo thats nuts. They are a fun little car. My sister had a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3. Like the Focus more. But if Subaru would put a decent interior in the Wrx it would be the winner.

Sorry for bringing up a plain titanium focus in a focus thread. I guess I should post about what gas station I use to get air or what is in my trunk at the moment. These are acceptable C5 topics lol

OK - went to the dealer today and drove the ST and also a '13 Edge Limited to see if I wanted to go back to the SUV. Ended up getting the ST and have to say that my wife likes the inside but absolutely hates the outside. I at first didn't want this color but it looks much better in person. ST3 with 4k miles.

Thanks! Happy so far - but need to train up on all the mysync stuff. Gone are the old days with an AM/FM stereo that had 5 buttons. Set station, pull out button, push in button - that was it.

Love the seats - they really hold you in and are nice and comfy.

Sweet! Let the mods begin.

To set the buttons, just tune to where you want then press and hold the preset button on the screen until the sound cuts off and back on.

I agree on the seats!!! I was in the passenger seat for this:



Was comfortably held in place!
