Need to get a new car looking at the Subaru wrx but I’m not sure if I should go sedan or hatch and blue or black. There’s not many in stock locally so I might have to go on a search if a dealer can’t get one. Also is it worth waiting for the ford focus St? And when’s it even coming out?
I’m biased lol, but Ive heard nothing but good things for the focus st. my friend is on the wait list for one, trading in his SVT focus. My favorite thing is the interior, those recaros look so damn comfy lol
Be a baller and go with a focus st.
Wait for the Focus. Be different.
ballin with a focus just does not sound right, im a fan of the new wrx. but overall its your call.
WRX > any kind of fuckus
Of its a new motor they are using (not sure if it is or not) Id wait and see if it has any kinks they need to address.
Not a fan of how the focus st looks so for that I would go with the wrx. Plus not to sure how much aftermarket support is going to be available for the focus
Are you planning on modding whatever car you get?
the focus has all of europe’s aftermarket already. so it’s not like it’s at a huge disadvantage from lack of mods
Awd>fwd
The ST isn’t going to be AWD? That’s fuckin’ gay
I think they are using a volvo 2.5 turbo 5 cylinder, not sure if its the same as the s60r motor but that produces 300 hp stock. if it is the same motor as out of a volvo then its safe to say the motor will have no issues because volvo has been using the same 5 cyl turbo motor forever.
aftermarket i think is plentiful because it shares a motor with volvo and there is a good amount of tunning for them.
if it were my choice i would do the widebody wrx, they look better and awd ftw
I thought it was a 2.0 4 cyl turbo they were using?
It is. 2.0 turbo ecoboost motor. Not sure where the info about using the s60r motor came from but it’s def a ford motor.
Werd. The ST is a 4cyl. The RS uses the better 5cyl.
I’m with most here and vote WRX. AWD > turbo FWD.
My gf just ordered a new Focus, and I actually like it a bit for daily practicality. She gets hers in 6-8 weeks.
My buddy just picked up his titanium a few weeks ago and loves it…
ah damnit they aren’t awd? they woulda been pretty cool imo if they were…
ahh thats my mistake, i thought we were talking about the rs instead of the st, carry on
Just picked up a '12 wrx, coming from a mazdaspeed3. Loving this car thus far…
