Picking up a much needed Daily Driver today. 2017 Ford Fiesta NEW for under $10K . Apparently the dealership switched owners and the previous owner had 2 fiestas on order that showed up late. In any event, they have been sitting and they need to get them off the lot before the 1st of year since they will drop in value even more as they will then be 2 years old NEW.  I will greatly enjoy getting 30+MPG and pulling the SHO from daily driving. Driving into Washington, DC is hell on cars and I am not interested in beating the crap out of the SHO which is expensive to drive daily.. maintenance (if done correctly for a tuned sho), gas, etc is expensive compared to anything really. Pictures will be posted when I pick up it up later.

I bolded your quote, and I fixed it.  100 percent accurate.

Nice modification there... much more accurate. I will be commuting on average 500 miles a week, so the price per mile of the SHO vs the Fiesta pretty much sells itself. PLUS I get paid mileage from work, so my employeer will be pretty much covering the entire cost of this car.

I bought my SHO to daily drive. After 4 months I put 12K on her and I was like...nope.  Back to Golf. I used to drive 450 to 500 miles per week, however circumstances in my life have changed.  I am moving literally 3 miles from my work so....yeah.  That will be nice.  Between the Golf and my RC51, I can literally mod the crap out of the SHO now.  LOL.

WOW!  Congrats on the find!  However...now you'll always be in the wrong car.   If you're driving the Fiesty, you'll invariably pull up to potential notches on the belt; if you're driving the SHO, it'll rain.

Exactly... this was the case when I had my company car from my previous employer...

Thanks!

Christ 14k for a new car isn’t a bad deal at all. Can you fit it in the trunk of the sho? I’ve been look for a daily myself to get the sho off the road. That’s almost better then spending 4/5k on a beater. My company has versa notes. Those things are absolute shitboxes. I refuse to drive one but they will reimburse me for miles.

I got my 2018 fiesta NEW for $11.2K.. $14K OTD with 100K Ford Bumper to Bumper ESP...

Would have been $12.7K without the ESP..

Ha! Actually the right pipe is a 1/4in further recessed than the left... I need to adjust it... but I will do that later since I will need to retighten everything anyway.

I guess many don't know but you will notice a distinguish change is exhaust sound with every Tune reflash. Z

I think it also has something to do with its Patented Reflective Sound Cancellation (RSC) TechnologyCustom tuned, high performance sound.
Corsa new technolgoy allows them to target and eliminate unwanted resonant frequencies that causes exhaust drone while also tuning the sound to that beautiful sound Corsa's known for....
