Cool, and it should have enough power to be considered a real car.
Unfortunately it will likely be priced like a real car too. You won't be getting this one for $12.5k. And considering the Fiesta is more the 500 lbs more then the Mirage and with the extra power there is little chance it will get anywhere near the Mirages mileage on the road.
The ecoboost Fiesta to get is the ST.
Oh I know, the ST is the Fiesta to have......but, if this is cheap enough, why not?? Plus, its turbo, could have a cheap little sh!tbox that goes PSSSHHHHHH when you shift at high RPM.
IF is cheap enough then yes I agree. It would be a hoot as a commuter. Bet its 20k or more though.
I'd like to see Mitsubishi turbo it's little 3 cyl and still keep its weight below 2000lbs. That would a real laugh. Years ago I took an 84 Colt turbo while my 83 was in for service. A turbo 1.6 and less then a ton. It was great!
I'm a big fan of little cars with lots of power.
