Does the Fiesta ST feel quicker than the stated 6.9 seconds 0-60? That's just a terrible number, I worry it would just feel rough. It's just tempting you can get a large gocart for like $12k.

yes, it does not feel slow, especially when it does the hilariously magic feeling torque vectoring out of a good 2nd gear corner

something to keep in mind is that a few of these cars, like the fist, tap out 2nd just before 60, so you get the added shift time for 60. A tune will generally solve this as it will make the car not drop off as heavily in the upper revs, stops the torque limit in 1st/2nd, and sometimes extends the rev range to allow you to hit 60 in 2nd.

I need to go drive one. I don't need another car, but I would love something fun I could beat on and not care about, and give me something to drive when I don't want to put on my Khakis and Sperrys when I want to embark on the Charger.

Which Civic did you drive?

My wife had a 2012 base model, and even that was a great little car.
