I'm pretty impressed with it; no noticeable lag no matter the RPM range or gear I'm in when accelerating hard.

Ford Focus ST...Great Little Hatch.

Saying a car is better than prius isn't really a compliment.

Yeah the only hybrid I'd buy would be a Volt

Yeah, black and yellow seats.......Might be ok in a Lamborghini, but in an econo hatchback it just screams rice.

Your dad might like it for the first couple months, but after that he'd be like mmkay, I'm getting a little tired of this gaudy shit

I don't think you have to get the black and yellow Recaros. According to Ford's website all black is available as well.

I've got a 2013 Chrysler 300C right now as a company car... long term rental.

Sure it's loaded like crazy.. heated/cooled front seats & cup holders, heated rear seats & steering wheel, backup cam, power rear window sun shade, full touch screen, nav, the works...

the ECO 6 banger does really well. Good pickup, and got 28.3mpg on the highway to Cleveland & back @ 70-72mph. Get's ~23mpg around town, being nice.

It's real quiet inside and it glides over bumps... but...

I hate the old school wiper control on the left blinker arm. But I DESPISE the shifter. It's a small nub thing with a button that kinda moves but not soo much. It's horrible!!

It's a nice car, but it's not for me, but since I'm not paying for it, I'll pimp the hell out of it.

Just rented another Focus, this one was an SE with leather seats which sucked.....They were pretty flat, and you could not tilt the seat bottom.....you could only raise/lower it.

This one had the 17" wheels instead of 16". Ugh......the ride sucked over potholes. And if the potholes are in the middle of a turn, you get kicked out of it.
