Reason Why I Chose the Fiesta ST
We needed a car that was short and light enough to fit into the back of a toyhauler trailer and fit two 95 lb dogs, groceries and us as well as run with very fast cars on road race tracks. I was in the middle of building a $40k 97 BMW 318ti CA Edition when on vacation in CA drove the FiST, took my wife for a drive, we both had to have it, we fell in love with it immediately and took it home to UT were we lived at the time and still love the car though done far more to it than planned
