I recently had a heart to heart with myself and came to the realization that I didn't need five vehicles clogging my garage and driveway.
My goal was something that could be driven year round, came with a manual and sunroof, and was fun while still maintaining some utility.
This is what I came up with, and it is a loaded ST3 model. Full leather heated Recaros, heated outside mirrors, hids, nav, very decent sound system, etc.
After driving it for a week, I really like it. The handling is fantastic.

Oh yeah, Ford LOL, FWD LOL, not a VW or WRX LOL. I think that is a good start.
