Yes. I do. Very much. This is likely the perfect car for me. As I said on Instagram, you know how lame dudes say something whiny like “you make me wish I was a better man” (I’m looking at you, Chester from linkin Park, although I feel bad saying that since you died) this car makes me wish I was a better driver.
Sure, I wish it was a bit more powerful but it’s not like it’s slow. I never fee like I’m going to get run over like I did in miatas.
Everything is laid out well, the seats are great, seating position is awesome, controls are where they should be, back seat is a joke of course, but I’m used to miatas and Rangers. It gets a solid 30 mpg.
It’s a year newer and has less miles than my focus, and I bought it for exactly what I sold the focus for, 12,500.
It’s fun and super engaging and not excessively rowdy. While the focus was gorgeous and fast and great at what it was, it wasn’t what I wanted. The fiesta st is much more what I wanted but I wasn’t about to pry that out of mrs joey48442s hands.
This is seriously one of my favorite cars I’ve owned, and I may even keep it for 6 months ha ha!
Very cool. Congrats. (And I'm a fan, too.)

The FRS is RWD, of COURSE it is a better driving experience than the other options.

I miss my old one. It was amazing even on 255 Star Specs how easy it was to get it loose.

That's okay, I made a pretty brutal remark about how new Linkin Park was so bad that they made me hate old Linkin Park and then Chester Bennington died literally within the week.

No point in taking any of this seriously, none of us are getting out alive.

My FR-S is by far my favorite of the cars I've owned. I know it's blasphemy, but I even enjoy the FR-S more than my '72 911. The 911 did sound better though.
Welcome to the club! Plenty of tracks around you, so come out and play! There are a few of us that run the twins at NASA Great Lakes so if you're interested in joing just let me know. :)

Congrats! They are cool cars and look good in blue.
BTW, that quote may be from a Linkin Park song, but it was paraphrased from the Jack Nicholson movie "As Good As it Gets":

Awesome!
Congrats on finding a car you really enjoy.
I’ve been enjoying the hell out of your old FoST, so definitely a win for all parties. Now to get my NB sold and buy some FoST parts
