I just sold my 2001 S2000 with 165k mi earlier this week and was heartbroken. I picked up my Black Fiesta ST today and couldn't stop smiling on my way home from the dealership. This is a great car, and I'm shocked to say it, but it is just as good if not better than my S2000.

I'm in Santa Monica and look forward to perhaps organizing/participating in some canyon driving fun.

Welcome fellow socal owner. I work on the Westside too. Maybe I will finally see another Fiesta St on the road

Congrats. On another thread I said it reminds me of the S2K a lot handling-wise except that it is FWD. I am glad you feel the same.

I know how you feel. I had an 04 s2000 with only 23k miles on it that I sold. Missed it so much until I got the ST. Feels like a 4 door s2000 with better visibility and more torque!

 

[DjDevilCloud]

Oh the visibility.........................................

Welcome and great feedback on the S2K comparo.. always lusted after one of those just always needed 4 seats..

Coming from an '04 ap2 s2k myself, and they are just two totally different driving experiences. I actually bought my FiST as a replacement to my s2k which I wrote off. But my goal was always to own both sothe second I bought my FiST, started shopping for another s2000

But different beasts, hence I'll be owning them both

 

[djwhiplash2001]

I had an S2K when I had my MkV GTI... different beasts entirely. S2K was much better for a raw driving experience, fun on an empty backroad, but not as fun of a DD. FiST is great in both aspects - fun in the twisties, great DD - but an S2K it is not. I'd buy one as a second car (but would go for a clean NA Miata first)

What is the color combo of your ST? I live in the valley, Winnetka.

I was thinking that today, I haven't seen a single one...Decker canyon is calling our name

Black on Black with a sunroof. Was hoping for the dark wheels like yours but it was tough to come by the day I decided to buy. I was part of the lotus group and we did a great Sunday drive that cruised the SM mountains, would be great to get one going here.

Yes it would, I could bring my Evora, and my daughter could drive her Elise.

^Tough life!

When I was shopping for my FiST, a used Elise was dangerously close to the price...

 

[DjDevilCloud]

Mmmm.... Elise.

Now that is a fantastic idea. I was actually in Winnetka today and cruised over he 26. I had my eyes open for a Molten Orange FiST
