twmalonehunter Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 First impressions: Handles great, ride is a bit rough on bad roads. Pretty fast, pulls nice to redline. First gear is tough, lots of spin and torque steer. Recaro seats are very supportive, awesome actually. Not sure about a long trip, not able to reposition very much. Shifter is slick, love rowing through the gears. I like MyFord Touch, but will need some time to learn all the intricacies. Overall, I love the car! Attached a couple of photos. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Awful big wheels on that refrigerator. Sorry--have to kid anyone that buys a white car (and can you even buy a white fridge anymore?) Anyway, looks nice. Have fun trying to get the EPA mileage.... :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I thank you sir! Enjoy the new ride! I plan on getting me one of those one day myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmalonehunter Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Lol on the white...Love the black, just didn't want to constantly wash it! I wanted grey, but not available on the ST. Silver was a possibility, but then I would have 3 silver vehicles....neighbors might have made fun of me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmalonehunter Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 As for EPA numbers, no chance! Too much fun...6th gear could be taller, almost 3000 rpm at 75mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Grey is avail on the 15s, so Im guessing you got a 14...now, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, sign up for the Octane Academy and thank me later........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twmalonehunter Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yep Dean, it's a 2014...couldn't pass up the deal. I did see the grey for 2015, my 2012 was grey and it looked really good. Is that Octane Academy included with my purchase? It sounds like a lot of fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) twmalonehunter....not included...its a mere $100 though, and I cannot speak highly enough of the enjoyment, let alone how it raises the bar as to what you actually think the car is capable of....DO IT!

Kev-Mo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Congratulations! Great looking car! I for one, love the white! As long is it is an 'optic' or 'pure' white, which it appears to be in the shots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 incorrect Will...the STs ( both fiesta and Focus ) are supplied, you don't bring your own.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillSD Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Dean -- That was my understanding as well but the above is a direct correspondence from Ford via FMCDealer. I do know that when they ran a similiar program for the Boss 302 owners you could bring your own or fly in and use one supplied by the track.

Deanh Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Will...it read incorrectly...they supply the cars, they have different tires, brake pads and brake fluid....3 of us bought Fiesta STs and participated...all the cars ( Fiestas ) at the time were red....
