I'll never understand how people correlate a good car for the money with big horsepower when 90% of the time if you use it on your commute you will get either tickets, arrested, or possibly kill someone. If you live on a race track that's the only time when the big power you paid for is worth it. But if 95% of your driving is commuting and you have a powerful car then you just make 0 sense to me.

the fiesta makes decent torque though throughout the rpm range. In fact, it makes more torque at 6000 rpm than we do ANYWHERE, ever lol(stock engine).
Although our car is slow, it certainly is fun-and of course just fine for commuting.
Just sucks when your average run of the mill camry(or minivan/truck/18 wheeler/tractor/scooter/kid on bicycle) is faster than us.
