5.) Ford Focus ST

As reader a_hooligan said, "even two years ago I would have laughed at you had you told me an American auto maker would have a competitive hot hatch. Would have laughed even harder had you told me it would be a Ford Focus."
Hasn't the Focus ST we are just getting been on sale in other markets for a while now and been getting good reviews for years? I guess a_hooligan doesn't visit many co.uk websites.

I find this funny, mainly because I showed a female coworker the picture of the car I was thinking about getting. - yeah I'm like drooling over this- than her response is 'please, that isn't a car to get wet over. I would get a viper-might as well go all out'
Like what world are you living in where you think you can get the new viper(cause I don't find the older one as sexy)
*smh* females

Each time I read something like this I park just a little bit further from everyone in the parking lot out of fear of the type of people who post negative comments on these articles.

Any sports car less than $30 k is not overpriced.

Underpowered is a matter of opinion. A little more would be welcome, but, too much power and twins would turn from willing dance partners into axe murderers.

The problem is that the average joe looks at the spec sheet and is unimpressed. The automotive media have driven the twins and are impressed because they have experienced them and feel an irresistable urge to tell the world that this car goes beyond the spec sheet.

Personally, I could care less that it got #1, I am however happy that it outranked the Veloster Turbo.

I do think these cars are overhyped a little bit, but the amount of hate they generate is pretty amazing.

jeez likewise. everytime i drive to the store i'm waiting to see a group of protestors w/ anti FRS/BRZ signs yelling at me as i pass... people are reacting so negative to this car lately. idk why..

I don't know if it's hate or envy. I might be wrong but I seriously believe the twins are going to end up getting more and more attention as time goes by. They excel in so many ways. I got mine and I couldn't be happier.

You know you did something right when you got fanboys of other cars hating on you with a passion.
