The lancer was on my list of possible cars, but my parameters were unusual. I had a pick up as a daily driver and the mustang gt as my fun weekend car /weekend warrior. I found myself wanting to get rid of the truck because I don't use it for work and the only thing I was ever hauling was other peoples crap. I knew I wanted a practical smaller car with better mileage than the truck but it had to be enjoyable to drive. Didn't even have to be a performance car but it had to be a 6 speed and fun as well as practical. The fiesta popped up on my radar as filling all those gaps in a very interesting way
I test drove it and just fell in love with it. Molten orange wasn't my first color choice, and I didn't want a sunroof either but I fell in love with the car so fast and hard I couldn't pass it up (no other fiesta st's around me). It also didn't have the recaros which was important as I have a large back that didn't get along with the recaros
The funny thing is, the fiesta has a fun handling characteristic from the word go....whereas my mustang I had to swap nearly every suspension component to make it handle the way I wanted.
