I've Come to the Conclusion That This is the Perfect Car

It has an extremely reliable drive train, it looks great, and it is available with a stick. Now that you can pick these up for the price of a new base Fiesta ST, it’s also a bargain. I’m pretty sure one will be my next car. I don’t know when, but at some point in the probably long future, I will have one.

The wagon is not worth the $30k premium, and the coupe is ugly.

The interior sucks, the fuel economy is sort of terrible, but otherwise ok.

I can handle the interior and the fuel economy. Tire costs and other maintenance is what is holding me back at the moment.

This would work well with Vossens and changing the chrome to a more “smoked” finish.

I actually like the stock wheels, provided they aren’t in chrome. There is one locally on Z28 wheels, and it looks sick.

Interior is not that bad.

Now they are $20k.

Are they really that cheap now..?

Yup.

I saw a wagon on the road the other day and looked them up on Autotrader out of curiousity... holy crap they are expensive still. I mean, they are cool as hell but it makes no sense.

Might just need to add to the fleet this summer. Shame the manual wagons are 3-4 times as much

They are more like mid-20's, but still, a bargain.

CarGurus doesn’t show one under $34k within 150 miles of me. Is that super high mileage?

12/30/2017 at 22:02

100k-ish.

Not yet, but I drive a Fiesta. Interior quality isn’t my concern.

These are great cars. I had a first gen, and these are so much better all around. Docile when your foots not in it, and savage when it is. So much want.

Just make sure your eventual find hasn’t been abused.

It’s going to be abused either way, people don’t tend to buy these to baby them. It’s a small block Chevy, a Tremec manual, and decently strong surrounding parts, so I’m fine with a rougher example.

I certainly like my 3.6 DI version.

12/30/2017 at 23:27

Still, I’d take the badges off and put Holden stuff on ... not correct, but it would fuck with gearheads for miles ....

The CTS isn’t any Holden.

Steve in Manhattan > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies

And that’s why it would fuck with gearheads ... WHERE DID THOSE BADGES COME FROM?

In that case, you’ll be very happy.

I’m saying your dream car is the exact opposite from a powerful v8 sports sedan.

Couldn’t agree more, the coupe is so bad! This is on my auto-bucket list as well, but I would spring for a wagon could just for the pure preposterous aspect. It’s crazy how they are unicorn status now.
