One of them Blue Focus ST's
 

I can't make it to most of the meets anymore since I moved, but I can still post up some pretty pics :)

Found the industrial part of Richmond (finally) this afternoon. What a cool corn/grain mill plant.

Canon T2i, polarized filter, Lightroom, and a ****ty photographer :rofl:

Nice pictures! How do you like the car? Have you driven any similar cars that you can compare it against? (Si, GTI, MS3, etc)

i rode in a 2010 MS3, but none of the others. it's best described as a Volvo C30 polestar & M3's lovechild. It's a machine and I love it! I really don't think anything really compares to it. the MS3 is cool but it gets a max of like 25mpg. I get 32 all highway. I beat on it all last tank and got 24mpg. average is 28mpg. that's on the tune that gives me wayyy more power. power starts @ 2k and goes to about 5500. it will rev to 7K but after like 6k you feel it drop off. its ALLL low and midrange. E-diff responds well and I leave T/C on and it is very good power delivery. I have factory Recaro's, moonroof, nav/sirius/bluetooth/6-speed/everything.

If you are looking for a new car, this is the ticket.

Like the pics and the car.

cool pics and nice car I like it

my ms3 get over 30 hwy bolted and tuned...oh wait, i dont care about mpg. i care about power and handling.

That makes so much sense with an inline 4 and FWD.

i'm heavily considering taking one for a test drive. if things work out in the next few months with work, i may be looking for a DD instead of the vette. though, i really shouldnt buy new again!

ford's styling is spot on with this guy.

it does when you autocross it.

and its a good comparison car to this one. one of the things that magazines love to say is that the ST is faster 0-60. when you look at it its because it can hit 60 in 2nd and the ms3 has to go to 3rd. i wish magazines did 20-80 pulls also.

nope.

I think the ST would still be faster.

it's not about being JUST faster.

I'm about my comfy ass Recaro seats, my huge touchscreen with nav, awesome handling, 18x8/235's, good ford quality and a nice TQ'y engine. its a step above.

lol...

well thats interesting...that ones shows the mazda being faster and the ST handling better.

ford's quality is rather good now a days.

Ford of EUROPE and ford NA are not the same company. you should learn this. It just HAPPENS to be built in America ;)

This one says the ST is faster.

haha, they've definitely come a long way.

Lol at the ms3 owner being butt hurt

I just happened to see one of these today up close in person. I'm not a huge ford fan but ill give them credit on some of their newer cars.
