I don't really care for the styling. It's kind of moot as anything over $30K isn't going to be in our budget. But the overall package is incredibly appealing.

very much so, but Sparco Terras look pretty similar and are $200 less expensive per wheel on TireRack, if you don’t like those there’s probably something else more like the Integrales without spending Integrale money

I did look at those but the "Sparco" text kind of ruins the look.

The car came with a set of Tarmacs on it but I prefer the look of the Turbomac and Integrale designs. The plan is to use the Tarmacs as winter wheels and grab a new set of wheels for the summer tires. I'll have to keep looking around a bit I guess. Maybe I can sell the Tarmacs and just get some steelies for winter use.

My girlfriend has the 10-speed in her Mustang and it’s nice enough in normal use but *really* let’s the car down with any sort of performance driving, regardless of mode. Part of that is the sheer number of gears and the tiny font too low in the center screen showing the current gear, but it’s still not a well-programmed transmission. She regrets not waiting a bit to find one with the manual.

I really liked the one I drove but I didn't get to go high wild.

Has there ever been a luxury hot hatch?

My FiST is down, likely the turbo seals, hopefully not the head gasket. I called the place I normally go and found out the techs walked out and they only have tire guys and lube jockies right now. I called around and the only place that can get me in this month is the Ford Dealer. So I'm without a car for a bit and borrowed my dad's Audi Q5 and all the creature comforts have definitely spoiled me. Just got me thinking if there was a tiny luxury hatch.

Is Audi? It’s a premium brand, but maybe not luxury.

I guess my perspective is skewed. But it's every bit as nice as my friends Lexus and a world beyond dad's old Infinity and both of those are marketed as luxury right?

Well, google says Audi and Lexus are both considered luxury brands.

The top 10 luxury car brands of 2022 are Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, BMW, Volvo, Audi, Porsche, Lexus, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Land Rover.

Before he got a G70 I had a buddy who would lease the top trim Mazda 6 every two years and honestly the experience in those things always blew the competition out of the water. Like I personally would have gotten an Accord 2.0T for the performance and a 6spd but the Mazdas felt so….nice inside.

my '07 Speed6 was the cushiest car I've ever owned and I miss it a lot


mind you prior to it i owned mostly shitboxes

So the FiST started smoking a bit, it looked blue tinted so I hoped it was the turbo and not the head gasket. I was thankfully correct, Ford service is quoting a full turbo replacement. He's also submitting it under power train but there's an aftermarket wastegate which may cause the warranty to be denied. But money isn't really the issue.

The parts are on b/o and not expected til December. So in the case that the warranty claim is denied and i have to pay out of pocket I may as well go aftermarket. So....


what the hell should i go with

Car is still at the dealer, they're still waiting on Ford Warranty to decide if it's covered.


In the meantime, Fitment has a pretty rockin sale on Fifteen52 wheels. I am extremely tempted to grab these

Update: Ford is covering the turbo under warranty. All I have to pay for is a part transfer because of the aftermarket waste gate on the current turbo that needs to be moved to the new one.

Only kicker is the turbo is on backorder and it might be a month before they get the parts.

So stock tire size? Or like 210-215?

I believe it has 215 on it now on a set of same-sized Tarmacs. I'll have those swapped over til they need replacing and then figure out the next set then.
