Thanks for the kind words. I'd actually love to see a 2 door hot hatch version in the US. I heard that they will be making a hotted up SVT Fiesta here with ~180 bhp turbo I4 in the next year or two. That ought to be a blast.

As far as small, cheap cars that are available in the US for under $15K go, this certainly isn't junk. Compared to a base Mini Cooper, it's not much to look at but the Mini is about $10K more. Compared to stuff like the Nissan Versa, Toyota Yaris, etc, this little bugger is absolutely brilliant. It's actually quite a bit nicer than the current USDM Ford Focus too.

As far as being a girls car, yeah, I'd say most of the buyers will most likely be younger women. Despite that, it's kinda cheeky and fun to drive.

Skills, my man. If you can make that car look halfway decent, you've got skills

Well I was all set to hang my flowery lei from the rearview mirror and cover the rear shelf with a pink feathery boa but my buddy borrowed the car for the weekend before it goes back to the dealership on Monday.

Shucks....

ST Graveyard is an unknown quantity at this point
I've driven one of the so called 2 doors pieces of junk overhere in Europe. I have to say, I loved it. It has a great gear box. It maybe a womens car, but the new Ford fiesta is very well build. A great bargain I think.

Really wicked shots there. Did you take these at St Anthony's Main? Looks like the place I did a Segway tour a few years ago haha.

Dude, that's freaky that you knew that! You're spot on though. The last handful of pics was taken there!
