Hey guys,
I'm looking at purchasing a Used Tux Black 2015 FiST with Recaros and moonroof with ~ 18k miles from Carvana. The Carfax says it was a lease Fremont, CA. It seems to be in great shape. If anyone on here recognizes this car I'd be happy to give you an internet high five.
I'm coming from a 2010 World Rally Blue WRX STi SE which I owned in Washington State where it was the perfect car for blasting around in the woods and the snow. However, I recently moved to Atlanta and even though I loved the car, it was a real drag to drive around the city with it's heavy clutch and drinking premium fuel at a rapid rate. I also couldn't really use its incredible performance in the city or even on nearby backroads like I could on snowy mountain roads in the national forest. So I decided that driving a fast car slow wasn't very fun and I sold it to a friend and it now resides around Richmond, VA.
I had been looking for a fuel efficient city car to replace her and was seriously considering a hybrid of some sort. But after test driving a few cars including the Fiesta ST (twice actually) and crunching some numbers, I've decided I can have my cake and eat it too with a fiesta. It sounds like it's still good fun to drive in the city, gets decent milage, is very fun on weekend backroads, and most importantly, is a hatchback that I can throw all my adventure toys in.
I plan to be fairly active on the forums. Short term goals for the car would include a roof rack (suggestions appreciated) and Access Port V3. Longer term I'm thinking to go Cobb stage 3 or equivalent. We will see what happens.
I have an appointment to pick the car up next Monday morning. I'll keep everyone informed.

Great car. I also bought it to have my cake and eat it too. It has more than surpassed my expectations and is easily in my top 3. Welcome aboard
