Had to get one before they're gone! Owned a '06 MINI Cooper S that I spent a ton of time and money on since I purchased it a few years ago. As much as I loved the car, it was time to for something similar but different. Incredibly happy with my FiST so far, even though it's been less than a month. It is, in many ways, very similar to the MINI. It just needs so much less to make it feel like a hot hatch should. With the MINI, I had to dump a lot of money into it to get it to where the FiST is. Short shifter, underdrive pulley, etc. etc.

Had the windows down for the first time I purchased it this week and heard the faintest induction noise / blow-off. I need more, lots more. Cobb intake is definitely on the short list!

License plate bracket has been drilled off and holes plugged since the pic was taken. Also spent 5 hours or so detailing it after this. Platinum white really shines!
