I'm coming up on 10,000 miles on my Focus ST. Any suggestions or questions that you would like me to answer in the review?

is the fun factor still there? or has it worn off?

Do you have the Recaros? If you do, how have they worn/broken in during your ownership so far? I've heard they soften up and become a little more comfortable after a little use, and since I'm planning on getting a Fiesta ST in the next two months, I'm curious to know.

Are there times you wish it had a proper LSD? How much does the back step out? How do you rate the sound?

Also I'd really like to know how it compares to a WRX if you've driven one. In fun handling and feeling of speed. Thanks man

Do you turn off traction control at all times?

How reliable has the car been overall? How much maintenance has been performed on it so far?

I'm really curious to see how well these Ford turbo'd engines hold up over time/high mileage.

I've been wondering about how the seats wear as well. I've got ~1600 miles on my Focus ST and I'm always very careful in how I get in and out of the seats so I don't prematurely wear them out. This might be more of a problem in my head than would be reality, but I really don't want them to wear out, especially on the left side where they take more wear from getting in and out.

Do you have the ST3? Judging by the headlights, they don't look like the HIDs, but I'd be interested to see how your seats and everything else is holding up.
