[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16276022, member: 39344"] 2015 Fiesta ST here. No Recaros, no sunroof. Currently built for STH class/track days. Not my daily driver anymore(was for more than 2 years). 1. Do not finance this car for 7 years. Car is amazing but that is just asking for trouble. 2. Recaros are hit or miss depending on the person. People either love them or hate them. I am in the latter court and can say without a doubt to me(6' and 250) that they dug into my thighs to the point of pain. I bought a CG Lock for $50 and it keeps me dead planted in the regular ST seats just perfect. If i need a track day seat ill be going with an OMP or Sparco and throwing the Air Bag resistor into the seat harness. 3. The Fiesta ST rules the HS class autocross. Sign him up, set the tire pressures to factory specs and throw some numbers on the side. 4. Do not put the usual bolt ons on this car. Trust me. They are not worth the money. E30/93 Tune on an AccessPort, larger front mount and a lower roll restrictor(people call them RMM or rear motor mount) is all that is needed until you go bigger turbo. E30 tunes with a front mount is the most power youre going to get on the stock turbo and anyone blowing bullshit about buying intakes, downpipes and the like has no clue what they are talking about. If your son is about the "noise" then waste away. If he wants a capable driver without issue just do the listed stuff above and wait until he saves for a larger turbo(if he even goes that far). Its a great car for the money. Great gas mileage, perfect daily driver and will put a smile on his face every day. I am one of the ones who is quite wary that Ford discontinued the car though as this is the same route as the SVT Focus. Give it 5-7 years and critical parts will be hard to come by, especially for a model that had so much different than the lower end versions(knuckles, steering rack, rear torsion beam....etc...etc). If he does but it post up in the Fiesta section of SVTP. We need more postings. [/QUOTE]
