I've toyed with the idea of getting one of these. Lots of fun for not a pile of money.

The biggest turnoff is those super ugly two tone seats they all have. Blech.

Same.  I love these things.
If the ND MX-5 didn't come along, I probably would have bought one of these.

I took a test drive in one. I don't know what the seats looked, only that I wasn't comfortable in them.

Until the Civic R came along, this and the GTI were beating each other up to be the king of the FWD hot rod.  I like the boy racer looks of this and the Focus.

You sure you aren't thinking of the Focus ST?  That was a closer match to the GTI than the Fiesta ST IMO.....

The performance of the Fiesta was right on the heels of the GTI, I considered it a "budget" GTI.

The seats feel like a body cast.  And like a body cast, they inspire a need for Percocet.
