Cheap cheap cheap. Don’t see deals like that here. I did zero down and $250 a month, the reason it’s high is because I never had a auto loan before. I’m splitting it with the gf so it’s less then that lol. ---

I enjoy my Focus Hatch. It’s good a-to-b transportation. I average about 31mpg which is mostly city driving (~10 mile commute to work), but have seen 39mpg on the highyway (Green Bay to Milwaukee). It is also fairly quick for its class. Transmission is a little strange, but with the newest software update it is refined most of the time. Rollback on hills is not an issue if you apply throttle quickly (hill hold feature). It does perform well in sport mode – quick downshifts. Some annoying interior rattles. Bad front strut (need to get this fixed). We’ll see how it holds up. ---

When was yours built? They likely already performed the update. Before the update the transmission was a little clunky during slow speed crawl situations. There was also some vibration when pulling away. These have mostly been eliminated. Shifting seems a little smoother as well, and it is quicker to downshift to the appropriate gear. Overall, I like this transmission. I wish I had purchased the manual (which is fantastic), but I needed a car quickly and there weren’t any manual SE/sportpackage cars around at the time. ---

I’m not sure I’ll have to look and same thing with me, I wanted a manual but, a there was none on the lot and b the misses wasn’t comfortable with driving one yet, I’m really sucked into get a st. I really do love the car over all it performs so well for its class and the features are off the wall. ---

if you just recently bought it before it leaves they would have done the recall for reprogramming the pcm, tcm and abs module. i cant remember the recall number off hand but if your recently bought it while they had it in the shop to inspect it and get it ready they more likely take care of all recalls before it leaves the dealership ---

> [@honda4life](#): > > I looked at the fiesta and was like yea not getting this too ugly, I’d rather have a Mazda2 lol. I’m deff getting the st in 2 years. don’t hold yourself to that…they’re bringing the RS in late 2014 if the ST sales are high enough to warrant further performance development. I’m going to be 50/50 upset and excited if they finally release an RS model in the states. Excited that we get one, but upset because I’ll want one but really shouldnt get one haha. ---

Yea a rs/st fiesta will be way better then a base model one. I’m saying when I looked recently I was not happy with it. ---

Really? You’re paying $6k over 2 years, then buying it for $10k? How’d you do that? MSRP is well over $20k. I’m not sure if you can lease a used car, but was this used? ---
