ditto. eps is better executed on the new 3 series and our cars. We were all gung ho to buy a focus ST but disappointed after a few test drives...We buy alot of cars, and my relationship with certain dealerships affords me lets just say extended time on test drives. We really wanted to like it but steering was soooo dull.

It might help if you can hide the fact that you're both from 4chan.. But apparently you both fail miserably at that.

Try bone dry stock then form a reasonable impression. I have never heard harsh ride comments previously.

4chan? I have no idea what you're talking about. Sorry.

Edit: Okay, so I googled "4chan". It's another message board/forum. And you think I'm from there? LOL. I never even heard of it until I read your post. Sorry, but your detective skills are weaksauce.

The engine is powerful enough for the application, though I never revved it past 4500 and into the actual horsepower range.


LOL

that's like saying you drove a VTEC honda but you never actually let VTEC kick in y0

You are 100% certain about a car after a test drive?

To quote Donald Rumsfeld (U.S. Secretary of Defense), "there are things we know, there are things we know that we don't know, and there are things we don't know that we don't know."

Don't look now, but you're being a troll. Not a very good one, but a troll nonetheless.

Keep at it, trollboy.

Like I said, a test drive is all I need to know if a car is not the car for me. If I'm on the fence, I'd probably want to drive it more than once.
