Long time lurker, first time poster.I had a 2016 Magnetic Fiesta ST back around 2020 and absolutely loved it. When the used car market went crazy, I had the chance to make great money on the car, which was too good to pass up, so I sold it.
Long story short, after trying a bunch of other cars—some of them more expensive (none of them better)—I'm back in another 2016 Magnetic Fiesta ST.
In the few months I've owned it, I've done a Recaro swap, added a JST tune, and knocked out all the typical maintenance you'd expect on a 100k-mile car.
I'd forgotten just how good these cars are. They're engaging enough to be fun every day, practical enough to live with, and cheap enough that you don't mind putting miles on them. For me, it's still the best daily driver I've ever owned.
Next on the list is a timing belt and probably a mild lift as I cosplay as a WRC driver. View attachment 70610 View attachment 70609
