Hi everyone. So, I'm in the initial stages of looking for a higher performance / affordable car. I'll be looking at 4 vehicles.
1. 2015 Ford Fiesta ST, 22K miles, White, No Recaro
2. 2013 Ford Focus ST, 29K miles, Red, Base, No Recaro
3. 2012 Honda Civic SI Sedan, 44K miles, Black
4. 2013 Honda Civic SI Couple, 50K miles, Blue
So, I used to own an Acura Integra Type R, '00 PY. I raced the car as well. Also, a '90 Ford SHO.
Here are my questions:
Regarding the Fiesta ST ... I'm 6'4, 36 inseam, 240lbs, good shape. Will I fit with enough legroom? I need to have plenty of steering wheel clearance with legs. Also, how about headroom? If any of you considered the Focus, is it similar? Yes, I have looked up the specs online, but prefer to have real world opinions. And yes, I will be test driving this week. Closest vehicle is about 1-1/2 hours away
Second, I know that the driver's seat will be all the way back for me. My wife is tall as well, 5'11. We have a 6yr old, a tall and growing boy. How will the legroom be for him? He's in a booster seat now.
Third, I'm Very familiar with the Honda cars, any opinions on how the SI's compare to the Focus & Fiesta ST's?
Ty for all your help.
