Thanks for the video, and great pictures. I test drove a Focus ST last month, and found the armrest to be positioned... "interestingly."

We'll see how I make do with the Fiesta's.

Are the heated mirrors and heated seats controlled through the same switch?

No. My understanding is that heated seats have their own switch, and the heated side mirrors are trigger by the rear window defrost button.

I'm sure you will be able to confirm thatin a couple of weeks TTP, when both your car and winter arrive in PG

I can't really argue that this won't happen...

Mid-September arrival for the car (hopefully), and then first snowfall probably a month and a half after that... Frost on my windows earlier than that, still! Trust me when I say that the heated seats are a huge plus!

Do you have your winter tires/ wheels sorted out ? ( asuming you will keep it on the road ) Also have you looked into car insurance ?
I asked my Autoplan dealer for a quote a couple of weeks ago, and they said..Fiesta ST ? Hmmm..no listing for that model..

I, too, went to my insurance broker for a quote two weeks ago as well! I told them ST, they confirmed "Hatchback?" I said yeah, and we went through it. When I got home, I see that the trims this quote covered did not have the ST on it. Which is too bad, because I thought the quote was reasonable, and I was excited about the price. Now I don't know how many hundreds more the ST quote will be...

As for winters, I'm probably going to wind up spending ~$1000 on new steel wheels and tires, from Costco or Canadian Tire.

Neither website has much for winter tires when I search by model, so I'm probably just going to take my car in and see what they come up with. First preference is to Costco.
