Hey guys!
Glad to finally find an active FiST forum.
First off -- I've loved these cars for ages (ever since Matt Farah reviewed one and loved it). Over the last few years, I've driven quite a few hot hatches, the FiST being one of the most fun.
Buddy who works at Ford got an A-Plan pin... that, combined with wanting to keep miles low on my R & use it for HPDE / road trips, I bought the Fiesta.
Anyways... to the details!
Car history! (Since mid 2013, at least)
SOLD 2011 Volkswagen GTI (k04 + full bolt on)
SOLD 2015 Mustang Ecoboost (basic bolt on's, hated this car a lot.)
SOLD 2008 Volkswagen R32 (stock minus exhaust... awesome car, got me into AWD)
2012 Volkswagen Golf R
Car is full bolt on right now, has an Integrated Engineering Stage 2 tune, CTS Turbo catless downpipe, CTS Turbo intake, Volkswagen Racing springs, clutch, GFB DV+, Autotech HPFP Upgrade and a few other things.
This is my "garage" car / track day car / weekend / overall pleasure car.
2016 Ford Fiesta ST
I love the car so far! I got ~38mpg (readout) from a ~65-70mph cruise on flat land a few days ago... and I average 32mpg on my commute which is usually going very slowly.
I took the car to the twisties, and my god it's capable. It's an absolute blast.
A few pics!
First of the R...
(and my roommate's Forester XT... quite nicely modded as well)
Now of the FiST!
