I just put a deposit down on a 13 st. I got the st2 and moonroof, there's not a lot to pick from nowadays, I ended up going with black.

That's my problem. I wanted a 200a with nothing else on it. I guess there is one like 350 miles away, but all the local ones are at least 201a and they all have the moonroof.

Luckily they found exactly what I wanted. Seeing tuxedo black in person sealed it for me, I'm very happy so far. I'm taking it in Wednesday to get MFT and the ipc firmware updates.

Probably going to look for a Fiesta ST this weekend. This will be my first hot hatch, so I'm pretty excited.

I think I want a Silver one, I'm not really impressed with most of the colors, so I just figure I'll get something understated. I also like the way the red accents stand out on the silver. What I would really want is that yellow color from the Focus ST for the Fiesta, but too bad they don't make it in that.
Are the Recaro seats really worth $1999? I think I'd rather get a moon roof or navigation, unless the regular seats are just awful or something.

I don't know if they're exactly the same, but the Recaros in my focus are fantastic. Coming from a wrx tr, (which has base impreza seats) I am incredibly happy with them.

This depends on the trim level you purchase, but pretty much yes.

Once you get to ST3, the full-leather heated Recaros, your only option is all black.

ST2 trim you can choose the black/blue and black/yellow option.

My st2 is black with grey inserts.

Looks like I need the rear motor mount tsb done on my focus st, when it clunked on the way home from work today, I thought I ran something over.I did a couple more runs to confirm. I'm a little annoyed since I asked the salesman about the issue before I got the car, and he said it wouldn't be a problem because of the build date.

My dealership wouldn't do it at the same time I did my maintenance. They had the part, they had the time, the tech just "didn't feel like it."

I'm running out of Ford dealerships to go to. They are all poo poo-tastic in the panhandle.

The service dude I talked to today was less than helpful. From the get go I got the impression he was trying to blow me off. He said he'd need the car all day to verify, I laughed and said I'll call back when I have a day. It takes about 10 seconds to verify that thunk, and the TSB says it's 1.8 hrs to fix. I'm going to try another dealership.
