For the people that say "the Si is cheaper than the ST" do none of you know it X-Plan exists for Ford and is super easy to get? You can get a base 2017 Focus St for 21,239(23.9 before rebates), and a Fiesta ST for $18.9(21 before rebates). Both are cheaper than the Si even without the rebates...
for 39K(must be fully loaded) you should get a 5.0 I'm looking at a NEW 2017 Premium GT with Performance package and Upgraded sound system for 37K.
The Eco boost can be had a little more than an SI, and just a tune on the Perf Pkg will get them into the low 13's. Toss on a nice handling pack...
Usually on 2nd year the panel gaping/fit finish and super tiny adjustments are done since the factories are now up to speed to production and the bugs can get worked out. It's rarely anything drastic, usually more "enough small fixes" that is noticeable when driving both back to back.

This sounds like the R I'd be more interested in.
Wait till Kia dealers get Stinger GT's lol. Salesman that usually deal with people with sub-600 credit and live paycheck to paycheck suddenly selling an actually reasonable touring car. THey are gonna have no idea what to do when a person with actual stability calls up or walks in to get a car...
You must love to rant, because I'm not going to even bother reading all that. I said it could easily make similar power, and an LSD POSSIBLY, COULD, be swapped. You must love to sound smart to your self in your head.
Also, I'm 34. My last car was a bolt-on, heads/cams Mach1. I don't give a shit...
Pics of what? The Ford Fusion line's been nearly all turbos for years and dropped the NA v6 a couple yrs back.
The lineup for a while now has been 1.6T(1.5T now I think), 2.5, 2.0T(awd optional), and now 2.7TT(awd standard)
It's not really supposed to, but with even the 1.5T making not to much...
I like the idea of the manual with the 2.0T, but the lack of coupe option is really hashing my buzz on it. I'm eager to see how it looks with a tune. more eager to see how it does with a few Type R parts swapped over.
Having come from a moddified Mach1 that got 18MPG average and now is in an Altima getting 24MPG(lead foot) there is a NOTICEABLE difference in how often I have to go to the gas station, and the price difference from 93 to 87.
