Sporty, Agile, Fun car... Not for beginners

By Robert W. written on 05-18-2017

The specs on this car speak for itself. The 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are respectable off the lot. The Driver's seat and vantage point are great. The front passenger seat leaves something to be desired when it comes to leg room. The center console eats up some of that leg room. Rear seating is nice and roomy for a hatchback. The major snags I've come across with this car are Torque Steer problems and anticipating the initial boost from the turbo. All things considered, I still love my car.

Actually not buying due to the Recaro Seats

By vev written on 01-28-2016

This car is completely awesome EXCEPT for the Recaro seats. I am an average male. 5 feet 10 inches tall and 185 pounds. The Recaro seats are the most uncomfortable seats ever. I test drove the car for about 30 minutes and my legs were smashed together the entire time and actually started to get numb. The back area isn't quite as bad but certainly not comfortable. The ONLY negative comments anyone has on this car is the Recaro seats. Edmunds review said the same thing. They look great but you can't sit in them. If you want either of the two option packages you HAVE to get them. I understand they are for high speed cornering but how many people actually take the car on a race track. What an absolute shame Ford makes you get these seats. (Not if you get the base model but it isn't near as nice) Plus, the people that designed these seats can't be comfortable seating in them. I'm sure a small percentage of people like them but it will cost more sales than get sales. Make sure you take a long test drive sitting in them before you buy. VERY DISAPPOINTED

Positive Early Review Base ST

By Sido written on 05-11-2016

Update: Still good, even better. Nothing to detract after 16 months and 15,000 miles. Well thought out and with ample performance characteristics, especially its torque power. Accessible power and great road manners going up and down mountain curves. Sure-footed. As other drivers comment, there is pronounced torque steer per FWD acceleration; I knew that before purchase and I accept it. I am an experienced manual driver, more than 40 years on many clutches, and it took me about 3,000 miles to master this one. I agree with several pro reviewers that the stock ST is near the edge of daily driver and is almost a performance/weekend car. I like that. This is the first car I've owned that I have not allowed friends and family to try out. The car is very pleasing and competent. I had the common CEL warning, dealer reset and it has not come back. I suspect the car is sensitive to non "top tier" fuel. A second brief CEL after running 91 octane budget gas. Retank with Shell and light disappeared. Car has required no additional service other than oil changes. Brakes and tires wear evenly - a good sign - and still good. Recommended car.
