Hey Jeff , since your a member and more inclined towards the smaller Zoom Zoom type of cars ; have you ever contemplated a Focus ST ?

Especially the 300 Horse Power Cobb   Focus ST as seen in Car & Driver.

Plus we need an ST owner on the Forum ..... hint   hint
2013 SHO  ....  not mine anymore

2021 Edge ST

Lol@zoom zoom.

I have actually, well recently, since I got into Mike (BPD1151)'s SHO, the comparison between the two I find is apples to oranges, however ... yes it's been considered, eventually I know I will need a four door vehicle once Arlene and her daughter move here, so ... we've started already window shopping for a few sedans as I'm not looking to rid my S2000.

Our list thus far within budget is:
Acura TL, Lexus IS250AWD, Ford Focus ST hatch, Audi A4 (I am not a fan of German engineering for longevity reasons, personally), Honda Accord premium pckage, lightly used Acura RDX.

Torrie over at Unleashed has a pretty wicked tune for the ST Focus.  It's making like mid 300 range torque at the wheels.  That would make a very cost affective choice.  My motto is always the most bang for the buck. 
2014 Mustang GT/CS: white

Past honorable mentions: 13 SHO, 08 SRT4, 07 350Z, 03 Cobra, 03 Focus SVT, 00 GT Mustang, 91 LX Notch, etc.

... wow, that's very impressive for that size car..

Definitely a great bang for buck.. I can do this (mod it) and Arlene could potentially never know. Luckily she supports my whole car frenzy thing and actually pushes me to modify my s2000 (which I actually haven't much). I'm pretty sure if we did go the ST route, she'd want some perf goodies herself. She's a girly girl but has that adventurous tom-boy personality as well, I'm pretty lucky.

Thanks for the info, I'll actually check that out right now, she'll be visiting me within the next month and a half for my bday so I'll probably stop by the dealership just to test drive one with her.
