After owning my 2013 Fiat Abarth I made the "switch". My Abarth was not stock, Unichip stage 2 by HPSI, HPSI v2 intake, HPSI boost retention, GFB diverter valve, NGEN lightweight crank pulley, NGEN bored throttle body, ATP 3" catless downpipe, MagnaFlow catback, Prosport 52mm boost gauge....... and finally dash signed by Mario Andretti. This car is not as fast stock obviously, but handles better, better fit and finish, more room and overall just plain badass. I will try and post pics later of both

the seating position sucked, I bought it brand new and had multiple rattles, the plastics were shit, the stereo was from 2003. But it sounded bad ass and was fast as shit. I they have equal length front half shafts so torque steer was nominal. it was cool because I never saw another one here in Oklahoma City.......I'll miss it but this ST is da shit, especially once tuned. can't wait.

Lol mine was also new. Tons of rattles also and couldn't agree more with seating. Don't get why couldn't make leg to arm ratio equal.Seats cracked to shit at 30k. Engine burned more oil than should. Stereo was best part about it. Owned for 50k miles and when traded in it seemed like should have had 150k miles on it lol.

Welcome! I also made the switch recently from a '14 Abarth as well and couldn't be happier. Abarth had a sweet exhaust note, but excelled at nothing else.

Welcome.. I think the abarth is sexy plz post pix ;)
Ditto.
When they came out, I couldn't afford one. Once I got to a point where I could easily afford one, I heard rumors of a fiesta ST. I drove the focus ST and said,
"i think I'll wait, this car is all over
The freaking place at low speeds".
Test drove the first one (fist) that my now-ex-wife's dealership got, and bought one 4 hours away because it had the seats I wanted :)

Have not regretted a bit.
