Hello All,
I live in Wiesbaden Germany with a US Spec 2019 FiST. I bought it when I first got here while my other car was being shipping here, 16 Jeep Cherokee. We needed something small to drive around town and park in the tight spots. I had my choice between a cheap Fiesta or the ST. I wanted power. The car loves the autobahn, it does pretty good up to 120mph, after that, it is stability starts to go out the door. I have had it up to 225kmh per my GPS, which is about 140mph. All in all, I like the car. The only issue so far, 4k miles, the keyless entry button broke on the driver door after two months of owning it. Now that winter is over I need to make an appointment to get it repaired.

I just order a Cobb for it. I use to use Cobb on my STi back in the day and boy have they stepped up their game. I plan is to go to Stage 2 but that will take some time. I am too old for turbo-back exhaust.

Willkommen! (My dad was born in Germany, but came over to the US at age 2; he has an accent - a Jersey one, lol)

Welcome to the machine. Army or Air Force?

I love Stuttgart. I spent two 2 week trips there.

I am an Army Civilian. I haven't traveled to Stutgart yet. Maybe one of these days.

Oktober fest is canceled this year but I love the Autoban. Cruising 130mph for miles on end is amazing. Burned over a half a tank going 120 miles. I really wish there was a 7th gear. 5k in 6th gear burns a lot of gas.
