Get a Fit!
but I also think the 3-door Fiesta is awesome. Needless to say it comes with all the bells and whistles like bluetooth and SYNC

WHAT???
There is no 3-door Fiesta offered here in the USA

There is a 4-door and a 5-door, no 3-door

Gilly posted a pic of a 3-door on the previous page. I think they should have them and they should do it fast. Ford moves way too slow for my liking

Yea, that's an older model, that 3-door could be found used

I won't enter the Ford is too slow debate, because I agree, however, I have to say, it's better to be slow than it is to be dead
Ford may be slow, but I'm afraid Honda is dead
I'm just sayin...

Let me rephrase to say that Ford is slow when it comes to Focus & Fiesta. Perhaps the cost of americanizing those cars (the hotter versions) would make it too expensive for the US market.

Its all cyclical. Ford, GM & Chrysler are riding a crest. Honda too may bounce back, but then maybe not.

I agree...too slow, but they are indeed finally taking steps to really make the most out of their global platforms

QUESTION: If you have a flat on a tire (because of a nail etc.) and you get it plugged, does it then compromise the structural integrity of the tire for intense action like driving on track or AutoX??

Nobody that I know of will run a repaired tire on track
What one does in autox is different, the loads are not at all the same, I would look for Mark's reply

The Focus ST is awesome!
I'm not real clear on the old Focus or Fiesta
I only know I like the new design of them very much
And right now, neither come in a 3-door

i'd love to get the ST.


but i need to get the saturn working before Knapp... no time anymore to work on it myself after i get the exhaust back on.


this means i'll need to shell out money to get the breaks finished.


SIGH

Thanks Doug. Maybe I'll just have to order a new tire if going on track. Had the right rear on the Si develop a slow leak from a nail and got it fixed. I've got about 4k miles on them.
