    Initial reviews are pretty good (besides the one that was just posted above) - seems like the ST is a front-runner for my next car in the coming months... If only it had a dual-clutch auto option though...

    If I can ever find a job closer to home, I wouldn't have issue with 6spd. Can't say that the stage 1 option isn't interesting though.

    The new new focus looks like a granny's grocery getter.

    The 2015+ ST gets a visual refresh, same specs overall.
















    IMO...
    2013-14 wins - Front and rear bumper design, headlights, taillights, exterior design makes it look bigger
    2015+ wins - Interior, wheels, nicer hood design, slimmer design, reverse camera


    As an owner of an 13' ST, nothing other then the nicer hood and the much improved centre stack (aka more space then just two cupholders).


    Mazda, your turn now, especially with the 2015 GTI, 2015 WRX and now 2015 ST making its appearance. Where's the Speed3??

    Be surprised if theres a 2015. But I doubt it. Maybe 2016. Ut the guys at mazda canada said there wouldnt be one for a few years.need to wait and see. But if they bring back the 2.3l turbo they are idiots. 2.5 or bring the diesel out and make it a speed edition.

    From the pics I cant tell which is what year for comparison I can just see they're different. Older model first followed by 2015?

    There's been a fiesta ST on display in the ACC for over a year now. Just swapped it to a white one today. I think that car, though too small for me, is pretty cool

    The Fiesta ST is pretty freakin' epic. I like it a lot more than the Focus ST; feels a lot more planted and eager to run.

    The Toys:
    Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6MT - Tungsten Silver
    Honda S2000 (AP2) - Rio Yellow
    Toyota Camry AllTrac 4WD - Silver Metallic
    Daily: Lexus LS 430 Ultra Luxury - Brilliant Black
