Figured I'd come back and check up on this post and just give an update. I ended up getting out of the Focus, but I wasn't able to go with a BRZ and I've actually ended up in a Fiesta ST. I was...

Simplicity more than anything else. I now owe about $25.5k on it and I'm not going to get that, private sale or not. Best case scenario, with it being an ST1 package w/ low miles, I might get $23.5k...

Took another test drive, this time out of the lot with both kids. Found that it actually worked better to put my bigger kid behind me and my smaller on the passenger side. My 7 year old can sit with...

I don't doubt the track experience and you're right, the Focus ST is definitely a good handler for a FWD hatch. Of course it's super dependent on the track layout, but I think the gap can be closed...

I'm really not stressing the back seat too much. My kids will be in the car on occasion and my oldest is big enough/old enough to sit in the front if needed. I would prefer him to be in the back, and...

2002 Honda SuperHawk VTR1000 and a 2004 GSX-R 1000, also had some seat time on a RC-51. And, if you want to be technical, a Harley Dyna Street Bob :D. Not quite the same, but it was a 1584cc bike...

Yeah, I was under that impression myself, but I see people like Rifle above with this:

Yeah man, all good. I'm with you and I can't stand those comparisons either. A V6 Camry or Accord is faster than the twins? Oh well, big deal. I'm pretty sure they keep up with, or might even be...

I'm usually pretty good with getting better deals on cars, however with the two Scion/Toyota dealers I've talked to they are sticking hardcore on the "no haggle pure pricing". One dealer was even...

The factory power thing is just a Mountune pack and you were always able to buy it, they are just offering it as sales time now as far as I know. If I wanted to do that I could, but I would have to...

I personally see no problem with a 72/75 month loan if you get a good interest rate on the condition that you overpay whenever you can, bi-weekly if at all possible. You will overcome excessive long...

Yeah, I get where you're coming from, but when I had that 20-25 minute drive it just "clicked". The Focus never clicked like that. When I test drove it I liked it, but didn't love it, and I honestly...

Indeed. There is also the rumors (confirmed?) of a slight 2017 refresh and that might be hitting the shelves when I'm ready.
