Tuxedo Black, Molten Orange Recaros, Nav, Moonroof, Painted Wheels. Those were the only 3 options in Canada anyways. We don't regret the decision at all. I've never seen this much praise heaped on any car that I can remember, let alone a sub-30k hot hatch. Top Gear just named it their car of the year putting it ahead of the McLaren P1. That says a lot about just how good it really is. It's not the fastest car in the world, but my god is it ever fun. Can't wait for the snow to melt and get the summer rubber back on it. We only got a month with it by the time it was delivered before we had to switch over.

To anyone looking in Winnipeg for one, there is a red one in Steinbach still I believe.

That sounds gorgeous. I absolutely love this car - you made a great decision. It really does go like a bat out of hell... so much fun to drive.

I thought I saw that Ford was now offering $4000+ discounts on the ST.  Pretty tasty if you are in the market.

Cheers,

Nice - you should post some pics in the show and shine forum!  You might be the 1st member with a Fiesta ST.
Don't fight it.  The sooner you get it the better.

Test drove one yesterday.  Simply awsome car so much so I'm debating ordering one now.  Ford deserves huge credit for bringing something this fun to the market.

Hot hatch category killer.  While I'd rather have one of the AWD performance cars like the Golf or Scoob, they're in a different price category.  The Focus brought a chain gun to a knife fight.
