Hello and thanks for having me.

I am a new Fiesta ST owner as of the first of May. I picked up a 2016 Kona Blue ST with 440 miles on the odometer from a dealership group that has owned it since it came off the line. I figure I basically got a brand new car for around $7K off the original list price, I couldn't pass it up. I am getting close to the 1000 mile mark now and am getting a feel for the car. I do intend to lightly mod this car, nothing crazy, maybe a set of wheels/tires, modest tune, st2000 airbox, and sports springs for now. I am a mechanic by trade, even if I am working in highway incident management now. So I know I will feel the need to tinker with it a little.

This is my first time owning a car this small. I am used to GM V8's and Supercharged 6's. So far, I may be a convert. These little cars are fun to drive.

Welcome, I'm nearby in Chapel Hill. I also came from a bigger car with a V-8, this is a lot more fun. I feel like I traded a little power that I could rarely use for agile handling I can always use.

Congrats and welcome! You're exactly right about this car. It's not the fastest thing on 4 wheels, but it's one of the most fun.

Yesterday, I dropped by my friend's house and let her take it for a spin. She was laughing out loud. That's just what the FiST does to people.

All that, and 29 mpg with a tune.

Welcome.

How far from Fayetteville NC?

Maybe can get a track day for a baseline run sometime?
