I just don't want to pay 2K more for the BRZ Limited anymore.
Well, if that helps, I was looking into 2013 Focus ST myself, after remembering what a good EU version was a few years back. However, UK folks are disappointed with the latest ST, as its not a 'proper' ST. The best engine they claim is 2.5L 5 cylinder, which is not coming to US. If it were not another 6 month wait, I'd look at it for sure to make my own decision. But that torque steer, when you have 250 bhp and 200+ feet of torque at front wheels, what worries me the most. I'm afraid its just too much for the diff to handle.

Ford aside, BRZ Limited has a decent interior in the front. Things are a little cheap in the back, but nothing major. Pillar covers I noticed were loose, children car seats anchor covers would pop-up. Algo of moving front seat forward in order to get to the back is bad. Speakers in the back and those covers are so-so. But upfront, minus that silver dash pannel, its all good. Doors do have that proper 'thump', even though they didn't use much of a insulation on them. And if BRZ will come with electrical folding side mirrors, it will be another nice Euro-JDM touch.
