Does that have the 1.6 Ecoboost/Manuél?

My advice is to spend a little extra and go for the 2.0l EB SE model.

2.5l is a bit unrefined but sounds pretty nice, the 1.6l and 1.5l aren't enough. Yes you do give up the row your own gear box with the 2.0l EB, but the 6f35 is pretty damn good as autos go.

I would make it a 2.0L EB SE as well!

If you're going to skip the Titanium it damn well better.

Ford is getting rid of that option this year.

Yes. It is.

Correction: there is no buyer for the 1.6L/manual. Which is why they're getting rid of it.

I think it's the general car enthusiast population that's to blame. You and I both bought new stick shift vehicles recently, unless your FiST was certified used or something, but most of the people who are begging the companies not to get rid of their manuals are the ones that only buy used because it's a better value. They don't put their money where their mouth is.

They discontinued the 6 speed for 2015. 1.6 ecoboost gone with it (though the 1.5 is largely the same). You may be able to find the occasional pre-owned 6 speed, but it was an order-only option, so there aren't likely to be any unsold 2014s sitting around.

Those people are hypocritical douches.
