Hello fellow FiST'ers (haha), just got a brand spanking new Fiesta ST yesterday and I'm super stoked about daily driving this thing. I'm new to manual transmissions but I've been doing good so far, I think. I see that these forums are quite active for this car so I hope you guys don't mind if I join you, I've been lurking for quite some time. I used to drive a 99 Lexus ES300 (and still do until I sell it) and I finally got tired of driving grandpa's car (not that it's a bad car), it was between the FiST or the Fiat 500 Abarath and to be honest, I think I made the right call.
I'm having a tad bit of a hard time going from 1st gear to 2nd gear, car stutters a bit (maybe stalling?), but I think I need to just give it a little more gas, practice makes perfect. Any chance any of you know of a thread with some tips & tricks for new buyer's of ford/sync 3 (already turned off hill assist so my car wont die when I fuel it)? Or any advice would be much appreciated. I'll be searching the forums for these tips, so it's all good. Hope to see you guys out there on the road!
Oh and $25k OTD @ 5%, nothing down with average to below average credit. Came with everything except the sun/moon roof (I always wondered about different purchasing prices this when lurking these forums).
