I drove one last Sunday. Went out for a drive with a couple guys, and we swapped (well, swapped drivers, and the owners rode with.) He had a big smile from the V8, I had a big smile from the go-kart. I was really impressed with the car, kept its composure and a very neutral feel through some pretty aggressive turns. And a little bit of turbo lag is always fun.

Is the Fiesta that good that you really picked it over the SLS for an 800 mile road trip? If so I'm impressed.

I took the SLS on a 2400 mile road trip in April so I thought I'd let the ST stretch its legs. But yes, it is a blast to drive, even on long trips. Great cars at any price these days.
