American FiST and the European one

[TheSixtyFive]

Hi there!
Since the very first time I read this Wonderful Forum, I've noticed that there are many things look different between American FiST and European one.
We have only 3 doors available, and the engine has 185 Hp….
Something changes in the external look and in the interior one...we have only one tire size with 17 rims (205/40/17), so we can't get a 215 or a 225 size because it's not legal..….What do You think about this?

My understanding of tire size is that it depends on countries in Europe, no?

Anyway, stop complaining, you got the MK8 and we'll never get it apparently.

As for the power, I think it's that Ford cannot include the overboost function in their marketing, which makes it go to 197HP. You still have that overboost though, so our cars are effectively the same (180HP without overboost, 197HP with).

And you have the ST200, which is basically the MP215 package from factory and a shorter final drive.

I prefer 5 doors, but each his preference.

That is just pure B.S. that you cant have different tire sizes. Don't listen to that Silly Canadian.. next time just say "Hey there guy why dontcha take yer Touk and go chase some moose eh! ...You're lucky though to have the Two door available!

...Yep!...I think to be very lucky to have the 2 doors FiST (In EU a 2 doors is called 3, and a 4 doors is called 5, because the tailgate of the trunk is considered a door…....even if I've never seen a man getting out from the trunk...not even if he was..drunk )
