New From Houston, TX

Wow. So I decided to finally go out and check out the Fiesta ST and just see it and maybe make mental numbers to see if it was worth it going from my 2013 Mustang GT to an ST.

They gave me a great trade in on the Mustang and I couldn't pass up the deal on the 2016 FiST they had.

Going to miss the Mustang, that engine is amazing and I really liked the way it looked, but gas mileage was really bad, and I hated how heavy the car felt and was a pain to drive in stop in go traffic.

The Fiesta reminds me so much of my old SVT Focus, can't wait to test it out a bit more this weekend. Now I need to study up on available mods and tunes.

Also Sync 3 is so much better than the old system, looks much cleaner.

Here she is:

and my old Mustang:

Hello and welcome, glad to see another Houstonian here. Nice rides both, like the wheels on your previous GT.

I traded a 2011 5.0 in for my FiST. No regrets; better gas mileage, better handling, just more fun zipping around. I kept my JLT oil catch cans (both sides) and mounted them on my FiST, works great and didn't have to spend any money! Have fun modding!

Thanks guys, this is a whole new world that I don't have much experience with (turbo), but I already have a long list of things I want to do to the car.

A tune is a reasonable place to start right?

Awesome! Any good shops for these cars?

Glad I wasn't the only person who went from a 5.0 to the FiST. My brother thought I was crazy, I'll let him drive the car tomorrow to see if he changes his mind.

Welcome to the forum, I love that color! You can go stage one with an Accessport and a drop in filter which will make a big difference.

Not sure, I haven't bought any shop type modifications for the FiST just yet. I've read that some Ford dealers will install select Mountune items (like below) and it will not void warranty when installed via a Ford dealer, haven't reached out to any dealers as of yet though. I just got my FiST last month, I'm new to this world too.
