I am a dominos driver by trade, and for the past year and a half ive been driving a 2015 Dodge Dart SE that ive modified. I have a chance to get a 2014 no miles MO Fist, and im wondering about ground clearance, driveability, stiff suspension etc, anything that might hinder my job.

Your work will not be work anymore, just many quick jaunts through the neighborhood. While someone pays you. It'll make the sweet gig even sweeter. The only issue I'd say is a smallish hatch space, but I think it'll hold 10-16 large pizzas. Probably more than enough capacity. Longer term, I'd hate to get in and out of a car every 5 miles when that car is built on an economy car framework. I'd think in 50k miles the interior/seat my be in rough condition. But I'm only at 7k now, so...

And what's an MO Fist? Missouri?

Unless you're doing rural deliveries on unpaved roads, you'll be fine driving the Fiesta ST as a delivery vehicle. Even then it can drive on dirt roads as long as it doesn't have gnarly potholes. With a stock setup the front bumper will clear a normal curb. Suspension is stiff compared to most cars so it's kinda gonna be up to you how stiff is too stiff. I daily drive my car though and it doesn't bother me at all. The thing I'd say may be an issue for you is if it has the Recaro seats. They are awesome and I would recommend them if you weren't getting in and out of the car as often as you do. I can only assume if the car has the Recaro seats that the bolsters will wear very quickly from getting in and out of them all the time. In stock form the Fiesta ST is a very fun commuter car as that is how I use mine. If you start modding it you may get it to a point that it's not so great as a delivery/commuter car. I get 28-29 MPG city, you may get less as a delivery driver.

The Molten Orange is an awesome color BTW.

Review video that a YouTuber did on my car may cover some stuff you want to know. Of course there are many other review videos around as well.

Went and test drove it today, absolutely love it! Awesome color, shifts and sounds nice, only wants 17k for it, fully loaded, sticker says 26k, wants it off his lot as it is the oldest car..will probably be mid October when i get it. Which is cool for me bc its a early bday present..day after Halloween hehe. In the meantime i will be taking all the performance parts off of my Dart and replacing them with stock. Hopefully get about $1000 on ebay for everything....what would be the first thing i get? Cai and accessport?

See now i have a decision....the dealership tried to sell it to me for 21 financed, but im in a position now where i can pay cash up front. Ive been shopping around and found i can get a better deal on FiSTs elsewhere, but do love that molten orange color. The molten orange has the recaros and is a 2014 with 70 miles, but i also found a 2016 black with 12k for 16 thousand. MO fist has recaros, black doesnt but has the sync 3. Should i go with the black, or try to talk the MO fist down since its been sitting for 3 years?

If you want Sync 3 then find another MO 2016 Fiesta. I never used the My Ford Touch extensively, but the Sync 3 hasn't blown my socks off or anything. Black is hard to keep clean, shows imperfections well, gets the car hotter in the summer, and doesn't look near as awesome as the orange. But that's just my take on it. I like bright colors especially on a Fiesta ST so the orange and green were my top picks. Orange paint and Recaros were a must for me.
