5 Seater Shootout - Thoughts on the next buy?

[JimiJak]

And then the fact my minivan beats the 'hot hatch' in the quarter mile almost seems embarrassing.

LOL If I had a "Minivan" that cost $45K I'd want it to beat a focus too! :rofl:

ST for sure... almost bought one instead of the SHO... just because they are that fun.

Interior is light years ahead of the WRX, which is huge for me, and the tq vectoring actually works quite well. It doesnt tug the wheel like youd expect... less in fact, than an lsd equipped ms3.

Ford's torque vectoring, especially in the ST, does work quite well!

actually the system works so well that Ford is one of the few manufacturers able to produce controllable oversteer from a FWD chassis; a necessity for Ford to compete in Europe while having few RWD platforms.  Of course now, others are copying Ford...

just happened to get a closeup look at a  focus hatchback last night. if you need a hatchback can understand the but the look is not as smooth as the regular focus, just my option. but it did have a beaut of a set of wheels. very nice black & chrome combo & car was silver & really looked good.

You seen the fiesta st on cobb's webpage? I was so impressed and then the gains they had.

If i ever need a commuter car, i will defiantly be looking into that car

Fiesta ST seems to be the fav.  It's just small.
