Hello, everyone!
I'm new here and I wanted to ask you all a couple of questions and was hoping I could get some help. Currently, I am 18 years old and going into the Coast Guard (leaving for basic in two days) and I drive a Ford Focus SE that has many creature comfort options on it. It is a 5-speed manual and since I have bought it I have gotten more and more into cars and when I started I thought my humble SE was good enough to keep me happy with its power output, well I really am not. I love my Focus but I believe that getting a Fiesta ST will allow me to grow as an auto enthusiast as there are many modifications that can be done on it. What attracts me to the Fiesta is the fact that the community is so great and supportive, also a number of modifications by companies that know what they are doing. I still need practicality and the fiesta is quite smaller than its bigger brother the focus and wanted to know if it was good enough for you guys out there. I am an avid outdoorsman and love to camp, fish, snowboard, kayak and mountain bike if that helps define what practicality is to me. Also is insurance expensive for the Fiesta ST? I currently pay $200 a month for my focus as I am 18 and have one accident under my belt (I was at fault). I will also be daily driving this car wherever I am stationed, is it good in snow? Is it good in inclement weather? I am 5' 6'' so anyone sitting behind me is pretty good on leg room when I sat in the fiesta today at the dealership but if someone was 6' sitting in the passenger seat would the person in the back be squished?
I really appreciate all of the info you could give me!
Thanks!
