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 ---

the focus has all of europe’s aftermarket already. so it’s not like it’s at a huge disadvantage from lack of mods ---

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. > [@speed world challenge race from the glen](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/speed-world-challenge-race-from-the-glen/49713/5): > > 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 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 ---

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. ---
