Only seen about 2-3 Focus STs in the wild and saw some more parked out at the EcoBoost Challenge awhile back. Never seen any Fiesta STs in the wild yet.

Same here. WTF is up with that color?
The green is kinda the marketing color of the Fiesta, at least the Lime Squeeze color was for the '11-'13. It's a car marketed more for the 20-something crowd and that color just makes the car stand out. That's my theory anyway. That being said, I see very few greens around here. Being Texas I see very few small cars so very few Fiestas in general and the ones I do see are the bland colors. If I was getting a regular Fiesta I'd be getting it in Green Envy. If the ST didn't come in orange I'd be getting it in green. I just like the bright colors, it adds color to the road of black, white, and silver cars.

I think I confused a FoST owner this morning by waving to him. He was looking at my car but seemed confused. Maybe his first FiST sighting?
Might be he never even heard of the Fiesta ST so he was wondering why your Focus ST was so small. :p

Saw a Focus ST drive past work today, probably the same silver one I've seen once before and likely the only one in town (even though there's at least two Aston Martins around). Still haven't seen a Fiesta ST.

I saw two of them at the Dallas Ecoboost Drive event in the parking lot. That was a little bit of a given as the STs all come out of the woodwork for that.

I was at work and happened to look out the window as an orange Fiesta ST passed by. Had to make a double take. It's probably the same one that's been chillin at the local dealer forever (if it is the same car anyway). Probably just on a test drive as it's still listed on their site as a demo. But likely the only one I'll see outside of a dealer or Ford event event for quite awhile, though I already saw that actual car in person.

This marks close to 4 weeks in the DFW area now. I have seen two more Focus STs I believe. I have also seen 4 Tesla Model S (and buying one of these in Texas sounds about impossible), multiple Maseratis and Jags, a Lambo, Aston Martin, and I lost count of the Porsches, but I have yet to see a Fiesta ST.

Nope, still nothing for me. I was driving down the highway today and spotted a Fiesta that seemed to look like a Fiesta ST in my rearview. As I got on the off ramp and slowed I noticed it was just a Fiesta sedan. :p There's a Focus ST I've seen parked at the Chick-fil-a right next to my work, so I assume the owner works there.

I finally saw a Fiesta ST that was actually owned by someone on the road. I was driving back to DFW from San Antonio and saw a performance blue one heading southbound on IH-35 somewhere between Ft. Worth and Waco.

I'm slowly getting closer to the day I own my own.

Saw an orange one Southbound on IH-35 in Southern Oklahoma on July 11th. Today I saw a blue one on IH-35 Northbound headed towards Denton, TX. I have now seen a total of 4 FiSTs in the wild since they shipped in 2013. Two of them this month. Focus STs are really common comparatively, saw two of those today alone and usually see a handful weekly.

I was on the road on July 11th on I-35 as well; final destination was OKC; returned to DFW in the evening. Didn't see a FiST that day; only have seen four (2 white, 1 red, 1 black) so far in the wild...saw a new blue Focus ST yesterday on 114 headed toward Grapevine around 5:30 PM on my way home from work.
I was headed towards OKC. Saw that one around 8:30 near Davis, OK I believe and they were headed South. I see the Focus STs pretty often now.

I am seeing them with a little more regularity recently being they have been out for 2 years. Four of the sightings have been since July and the whopping total of 6 not counting the dealer owned one I saw driving around have all been within 2015.

A silver one in Southlake, TX on Southlake blvd about a month ago and an orange one today in Roanoke, TX.

I'm excited, my car will be here in about another month. The wait is almost over.

I was in the San Antonio area visiting my parents and I was taking them for a ride in my car and going to get some food when I came up behind a green FiST. It was a young female driver, she was a bit nervous driving a stick so she probably just got the car and was trying to learn still. She made a good attempt getting going, but she got a bit too nervous at a stop light with people behind her.

On Nov 30 around 2:00 PM spotted an MO FiST near the 114/121 interchange heading away from Dallas/Irving - took the 121 toward Grapevine Mills Mall.
While I have taken that road before, it's been awhile. You'll find my molten orange mostly around Southlake/Grapevine and Roanoke and in between on 114.

I've seen five total in two years in the DFW area - that's it; none in the town I live in - Flower Mound. On a side note - was that a self serve car wash or a full blown one you were at? I'd like to find a non do-it-yourself car wash in DFW, but am concerned about damage (the tracks, etc.)
I would think the tracks would do some damage to the wheels since we have such low profile tires. The sides of the tracks really are all that keeps your car going straight through there. I took my previous car through one several times and it always wondered back and forth bouncing off either side. Not to mention the damage it does to your paint. I only took my old car through there because the paint was already done for and those car washes do a really good job of cleaning quickly.

I take my Fiesta to a coin wash in Grapevine on Dove and W. Northwest Hwy that takes cards because I never actually have quarters. Never use the brush unless you want to scratch the paint, but the pressure washer does a decent job along with a microfiber for the stubborn stuff. I would hand wash with the two bucket method, but I live in an apartment with no access to a hose.
