TDs can be a lot of fun. something about everything rattling, the light weight and the true peace you find with the world when you realize you won't survive an accident with the 2 ton monstrosities that are most modern cars.
>>
>>14045460
>ATTS

Half the time it doesn't even work in the Prelude SHs, which are now old enough to vote.

And yes OP. At least brand new. In history only the Integra Type R and 1990s French Hot Hatches surpass it (Clio Williams, 106/205 GTI, Saxo VTS/VTIR). MK2 GTI 16V and B13 SE-R/NX2000 are two underrated favorites of mine too

I love mine, would recommend.

Not really, 06 rsx type s, Mazdaspeed 3, cobalt ss turbo (the fastest of bunch) are all better cars, I would rank the focus ST slightly below the speed3

My body is too wide for the seat bolsters. Too buff

I test drove one and it was pretty fun, never got to fully experience it though.
I ended up buying a 12 Civic Si because muy rice.
>>
>>14045291
It's certainly up there, but this is a great time for hot hatches, and it's hard to choose an overall winner.

For what purpose?

IDK if it the most fun hatch, but I know one thing

The Fiesta RS will be an actual beast when and if they release it.

There is literally nothing wrong with Cobalt /ss/
>>
If it came with a sequential I would buy it in a heartbeat. Not gunna buy it with some run of the mill manual...makes it feel to econoboxy
>>
I was so close to buying one back when Ford was doing their 0% interest thing back in September, but decided that my finances weren't in a place to allow for a brand new car. I was really stoked on it, too.
>>
>>14046029
That guy is just trolling he knows he's wrong.
>>
Haven't driven the Fiesta but did sit in one for a minute. My only complaint was that the interior felt a lot cheaper when compared to a Focus ST.

maybe if you only drove one car ever

>>14049632
How is it not fun to drive?

Steering is sharp and has a nice weight to it. And with it being slow as fuck you can pretty much drive it balls to the wall all the time, even in city traffic.
>>
>>14049675
The steering feels vague and indistinct in comparison to the Fiesta ST, the Veloster is heavy...

Here's some faggy bench racing, but it's really no comparison.
>>
>>14049788
So, I will say the Veloster is lighter that I expected. Still, drive a Fiesta ST and you'll blush getting back in the Veloster. :)
>>
>>14045291
It's just about the only FWD car I'd actually pay for. I prefer AWD but the Focus/Fiesta ST are damn fun to drive.

I haven't driven a Type R but it's rims and tires are a no-go where I am. Michigan backroads FTL!
>>
>>14045460
ATTS fucking blows in the Prelude and just makes it even more pigfat, only a tard would get an SH.

How not-shit is the Rally edition?

I would prefer a BRZ but insurance would give me street racer tax.

FastestLaps, the #1 resource for benchracing faggots.

Nurburgringlaptimes is another good resource.

Does this even count as a reply because it means nothing.

>>14052400
I've owned three 5th gen Preludes, what exactly do you need me to explain about the workings of something that is literally self-explanatory by name?

It does nothing but add weight to a car that has no business being on a track or any serious application where it would be useful. The car is driven by the wrong wheels and weighs 400lbs too much with a ridiculous compression making modding it a waste of time.

Inb4 pics or it didn't happen. I haven't owned a $4000 car in 8 years.

Keep getting buttmad over an opinion based thread, though.
>>
>>14052419
Not buttmad, and who said it belonged on a track? Neither it nor the focus belong on a track. Doesn't make them any less worth owning. But they're not track cars.

I didn't imply the fiesta needed ATTS, did I?
