Hello all,
I just wanted to stop and say hello and introduce myself. My name is Jason, or JD, I have just recently purchased my 2014 Fiesta ST, Ingot Silver. I have always been a hatch fan, even though the car that got me interested was less of the traditional hatchback and more of a sportback, my 1986 Mazda RX7. I have owned quite a few cars in my short 17 years of driving, but have had quite a wide range of 'em. How I ended up buying the smallest car Ford makes at age 32 is a longer story than I care to share, but just know that I decided after test driving this thing that it was my perfect compromise car. My mustangs were fast and fun, but old school and with no utility to speak of. My STi's were crazy fast, with much more utility, but with the added costs of maintenance and insurance, sitting in day to day traffic with a track capable car just wasn't worth the investment, especially with a family to support. So here we are, in a Fiesta. I laugh every time I walk up to the thing, and so do my pals. But, I wouldn't trade it for anything at this point. This car is the PERFECT combination of utility, sport, and economy in a traffic dense area in my personal opinion. That being said, I honestly don't feel as though I am sacrificing much sport with this thing. It will turn into a corner just as hard and even rotate as well as any of my Subarus, and the underrated 212 ft lbs or whatever it is is more than enough to scoot in and out of traffic, and even have some fun doing it. Anyway, without being so long of breath, I just wanted to express my extreme satisfaction with my purchase. Oh, I also love the fact that most people will talk themselves into buying a Focus after cross shopping the two, more uniqueness points for me on the road, and after driving both of them, heh, well, you see what I paid for. I have so much to say about this car but I need to stop now as this IS merely an introduction. Party on!

) with an Audi A6 3.2 we were up to 105mph according to my cobb,and my lil beast had no problems keeping up with him even when he would try to break free from me when he had a clear section. Gave me the thumps up when we split ways too ![[twothumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_twothumbs.gif "Two Thumbs [twothumb]"){kind=icon}
