So I did a little research and found out they were doing test drives today at the park downtown today so I went and checked the car out.
This is the one i drove today, with a 5 speed. I must say it is one of the best small cars that I have drove recently, which so far had been my girlfriends 2009 Mazda 3 and a Pontiac Vibes. I was a bit embarrassed backing up. The car was parked on a slope and when I was backing up I wasn't moving. I thought I missed the reverse gear but it turned out I wasn't giving it enought gas. It's not 4.6 V8 but it felt like the car and a good amount of power for the size. Now it is bias but I put this car way ahead of the Yaris and Fit. And check out that beast

I didn't know if anyone was going to respond to this. This car may not be full of thrills but it is an important car for Fords future. They will offer a performance model in Europe that will make 200hp. Anyways look at the fun you can have in it

The would make for a SICK fun autox course...instead of a 2 sec penlty for hitting cones, you get a 2 second penalty for hitting a manequin...and it's a DNF if you crash through the front of a store...

not a fan of hatchbacks, but i have to admit, driving a small(er) car is nice sometimes... actually.. scratch that.. A LOT in the city. with that said, i think ford could use some more smaller vehicles over here in the US. i think the focus could use a companion.

I completely agree with you. Given nothing beats having the raw power of a v8, but if you do a lot of city driving with tight spaces and lots of turns. A small car matched with a 5spd can be a blast.

LOL @ Top Gear. That guy is a champ driver.. I love how it powers through the 2 feet deep water though. Seriously.. if you've ever driven a car through that deep of water you know what I mean.

My experience is that it pushes you exactly where you don't want to go. The second day I had my Mustang, I drove through what was essentially a river about a foot deep on the road. I thought I tore my front fascia off.
Also, you have to think that car had water over the hood, which means it was probably in the airbox.

I didn't mean too, strangely enough. It was puddle, or car next to me, and I expected the puddle to not be a foot or more deep. Lol.

I watched a vid the other day of some 100% dumbass driving an Acrua NSX through about 2 feet of water.... messed up all kinds of stuff but he made it to the other side of the flooded road way...
Until a soccer mom runs over you in an excursion and doesn't even notice
Yeah and a flippin Diesel Excursion at that. Why would you buy a work (and by work I mean construction) truck/SUV to tote kids around in when something one step down, or hell, two steps down, still does it exceedingly well...without the hassle of diesel?
