    Try out a 2015+ Focus ST. They changed some of the rear suspension components and reduced the oversteer. I have a 2018 and remember reading that about the facelift.

    I sold my FiST a year ago for a Focus RS but honestly I do miss my little pocket rocket. The RS is fantastic but the FiST is as fun if not more fun. By the way, Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust has a great, aggressive tone and no drone except for 1st gear in a parking lot and even then it is very little.

    There’s a guy here at my local autocross that runs one of these. He absolutely dominates in this little car. His only mod is a set of 200tw tires. I absolutely hate competing against this little shit demon. They are so annoyingly fast because they weigh nothing, take corners like nobody’s business while lifting up a rear tire at every turn.

      @@greatferrarimasterplan4836 I just really hate how fast these cars are at autocross. It is almost unfair what they can do with minimal modifications. I’m sure on an actual race track they would fall behind for lack of hp, but with autocross they are essentially like Agent Smith from the matrix, they can bend the laws of physics. Lol

      @@postalpancho A lot of the autocross in my area is full of high powered straights. HP dominates here in the series. On the occasion that it's a very tight track it'll do really well, but otherwise it cannot keep up at all, and modifying one gets even worse as it cannot compete in STH as it's power and tire limited where the other cars are not.

    @nah3193 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have a modded mazda3 hatch but the fiesta st is my spirit animal. I even pulled the spare tire and rear seats for weight reduction and got lightweight wheels and summers. In your opinion is it worth switching from 340tw to 200tw tires for a daily driver that might see an occasional HPDE? In Florida so no concern with colder climates. I do have an extra set of wheels atm but not sure I'll really have room to keep them both long term. I should note that the better 300tw tires are not available in 215/45R18 unfortunately.

      @@Etonnantnon We don't get any French cars in the US. I know what you mean though. They handle really well with an upgraded rear sway bar but you really need one to get that rotation. The 2.0l isn't bad, they do alright with a tune and throttle controller and are a little bit lighter.
