Thanks for the input. I couldn't get one without leather, so premium is a must for me. I love the wheels, and I glanced at the performance pack stuff and only thing I think I would miss is brembros. Everything else is a common upgrade it seems. Besides I'm not looking for a race car, I've had a focus st for the past 3 years so I'm sure this is faster stock for stock.
Interesting...guess I'll see how it drives but the suspension is vastly different on the 15+ models, right?
Not looking for a race car, just a fun cruiser. Sounds like you went the route I'll most likely go, drop it a little and make fun noises and that's about it. I love the look of the wheels so guess I'll have that trade off for mpg's. I'd prefer a vert I think, but at a 10k premium price tag I'll be fine with a coupe.
