Who'd have ever thought, after owning some pretty slick cars in the recent past (BMW Z3 Coupe 2.8L, STX prepped 02 WRX, STU prepped 05 STi, STX prepped 08 .:R32), that I would be going freaking BONKERS with massive withdrawal over my poor PB Fiesta ST that got broken into after having it for only 2 weeks, and has been at the body shop now for a week +! But I AM!!!!
It is a car based on the cheapest ecobox in Ford's inventory. It is the cheapest costing (new) car I have ever owned. It does not have the top notch and quality interior that my .:R32 had (far from it). It does not have a smaller, cool flat bottomed steering wheel like my .:R32. It does not have AWD like the Subes and VW. It does not have the 270hp+ of my .:R32, or the 400hp+ of my old STi. It does not do 0-60 in 4-5 seconds. It does not have RWD like the Z3. It does not have HID headlights or auto dimming mirror. It is not (yet, LOL) modified with suspension or exhaust/intake, wheels, or tune like my past cars - totally bone stock.
Yet, this is the MOST FUN AND ADDICTIVE CAR TO DRIVE that I've had in a long time! I am going nuts without it. I feel like a zombie every day, just going through the motions of a live person. I crave the embrace of my Recaro seats! I keep reaching for the shifter, missing that butter smooth gear change. I miss the feeling of the taunt suspension, carving through the turns. Or the input of the steering wheel in my hands. Hell, I even miss the voice of that mysterious lady who keeps asking me to command her! Where is she? WHO is she? I asked her for a date, but she only replied she could not understand? Argh! I NEED MY FIESTA FIX!
