new, but not new

[MPA]

Picked up a certified '15 LT sedan for my wife last weekend - 1.4T/Auto. She loves it, coming from a '00 Accord that had 160k miles.

She's not interested in modding it, but I figured it would be fun to see what you guys are doing to them, and maybe there are some little things I can do it her car to make it even better.

I signed up a few years ago when I was considering one - I'd test driven a then-new '12 1.4T/6Spd hatch, but ended up with a used '09 WRX. Now I have a '15 Fiesta ST that's got some stuff done to it (intercooler, CBE, 16" wheels, some suspension bracing, and a tune).

Welcome! Hear those Fiesta ST's are pretty quick. They got an SS model too I hear.

ST is the top level Fiesta - Chevy does the SS stuff I am surprised that Chevy hasn't made an attempt at a Sonic SS to compete with it, especially seeing that some on here have gotten good power from the 1.4T

It's a blast to drive. So much, that I sold my '06 C6 in order to buy it. The turbo is tiny, so it makes a lot of torque down low.

I'd welcome you to SOF but you've been a member a helluva lot longer than I have, so I'll just ask for pics of your wife's Sonic, and of course your ST

That's the Focus. ST is still top level Fiesta. There's a couple Sonics around that will give a Fiesta ST a run for its money.

Welcome to the forum MPA!

Thanks for the welcome (back)

Mortis - I'll post some pics tomorrow. Her Sonic is black, my FiST is Molten Orange

Yes my mistake. But however, ford has the Fiesta st and focus st.... now a focus rs (with a maxed out drive train to my understand=no real upgradability) and chevy now has a sonic and a hatch malibu with no performance competition (based on stock performance), this will probably lead me to another make when I am in the market again. I was checking out the 300 today at the dealership, if i wasn't so modified. ......... loving the awd v8 364hp....... I would have had to trade in.

Thanks for the pics. The Sonic looks nice of course but your ST looks seriously Hot! I'm sure it's a blast to drive, however I'm guessing the Sonic is a little more comfortable.
