Agent Orange Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 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. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p51/drkfkr/OW1.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p51/drkfkr/OW2.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p51/drkfkr/OW3.jpg Oh yeah, Ford LOL, FWD LOL, not a VW or WRX LOL. I think that is a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Front plates LOL Really though, nice cars. I have casually looked at them for a daily, but it seems like once you add a few options the price gets pretty crazy for a FWD Focus.

SRTurbo04 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 nice man, what kind of mpg are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Very nice. +1 on removing front plate. Tis the season for car buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 damn it! forgot the front plate lol. I tend to attract overzealous police officers trying to tax the shit out of me for non moving violations, and I assume they will be profiling me due to the nature of this car. Therefore, I will keep it to the letter of the law. Driving like a normal person, I averaged 27.1 mpg through the first tank. Which brings up the one glaring problem with this car, a 12.4 gallon tank. That is just ridiculous if you ask me, but oh well. I filled it with premium for under 35 bucks.
