Conclusion

Who’s the winner? We all are! Seriously, how great is it to have two world-class machines like this priced not much more than your average compact car?

But as far as the winner of David vs. David, it’s the Fiesta ST that’s the favourite. It’s cheaper to buy, cheaper to own, more liveable, and just as much fun to drive as the FR-S, if not more. It wags its tail so enthusiastically you can’t help but want to take it home – please Ma, can I keep it?

Yet another

Sweet!! I thought of buying a FRS before the ST but the FRS have no trunk at all and useless rear seats. Plus the FRS would have cost me about 700 bucks higher than the ST in insurance (not sure why tho)

I love the way the FRs / brz looks, but that lack of torque ruins it for me

Damn shame really (the torque), such a gorgeous car

Yeah that torque dip was ridiculous, I think it would have been a lot quicker if you didn't loose 25 ft lbs between 3k-4.5k

I know and you could really feel it too once you hit 5k it lit right up again .. Oh well lessons learned...

That is odd to hear about the seats, the author must be on the larger side. I fell in love with the car after sitting in those amazing Recaros. They are absolutely fantastic!
