Hey all! So I've been looking for a new car for awhile now. I've wanted something quick, fun, and decently efficient. I've looked at G37s or other used luxury sedans. Looked at compact cars with 2.0 engines, Mazda 3, Civic, focus. And while looking at focuses, I stumbled onto the fiesta st. That day I went for a test drive with one at my local dealer.
I liked it but it was rush hour and I couldn't really open it up. It also didn't have recaro seats which I want. So I passed on that one. Since I've been watching used listings for it. I'm mostly seeing 14's with around 25k miles with various options, all of them are listed for around $17-18k.
So here I am. I'm 99% sure this is the car I'm going to get but I still have some questions.
- Since it's a fairly new car, is anyone knowledgeable on its reliability post-warranty? Like the tranny, turbo, or any other expensive fixes?
- I've seen people lease them on this forum, what type of residual value are they generally put on?
Good to meet you all, and thanks!
