Hi All - new member here, also looking to buy a FiST in San Diego. This thread has been pretty helpful so wanted to say thanks. I am about to begin negotiations with some of the local dealers this weekend. I thought I had decided on a 2018 WRX, but the Subaru dealers not discounting much if at all combined with having a hell of a time trying to find one with the color and options I want drove me to test drive the ST tonight and I really enjoyed it. It's a LOT smaller, which is really my only hesitation, but from my math I should be saving around $10k vs a WRX which is nothing to sneeze at.
Interestingly I drove the Focus RS recently and really wasn't too impressed, the seating height/position was a total deal breaker so I was happy to see that with the base seats I can sit much lower in the fiesta ST.
One random question - are 2017 Fiesta STs standard with a back up camera? The one I drove was a 2014 and didn't have a backup cam. Sure, I don't NEED one, but I've had one for the last 6 or so years so I'd hate to not get one on a brand new car. Also, do they all come with car play/android auto for 2017? Just want to make sure passing on the nav isn't a mistake for only $700 or so.
Thanks again!
