Anyone ever driven one, or been in one? I might go test drive one today. They are supposed to fly, and are around 20k. At 30 though, I wonder if I'm too old for a car like this.

Also going to test drive the new 6, and CX-7.

Quick 0-60 5.3 seconds

Noisy & ugly

If you think you are too old, you are.

The Focus RS is rumored to be here next year (yes, the Euro spec Foci)... wait for that. 305 hp AWD, it's Rally time!!!!

I was way off. Ford actually wants you to let them know if we want it here.... vote, Hell Yes.

Ford may not be here next year.

I've had one for about a year and love it. I look forward to driving it every day. Very fast, practical with five doors, good on gas, stylish and comfortable interior, looks great, and handles like a dream. I enthuiastically recommend the car, you'll be impressed when you drive it.

Too old! I'm nearly 62 and still driving my '02 WRX w/ MRT wing, Borla cat back exhaust and a whole bunch of other goodies.

Pull the trigger and buy it. I'll see ya at the next stop light!

avdmazda?

slightly off-topic:

My wife bought a Mazda Tribute 80k miles ago. A much better car than it's price would suggest.

On topic--small, light cars with poop are fun to drive!

#6 Actually, Ford is in much better shape than GM and Chrsler. Mulally was already workin to revamp and re-oganize Ford a bit and borrowed when credit was cheap and readily available. So far, Chrysler and GM have borrowed billions from Uncle Sam, who wants better business plans before loaning them any more dough. Ford has yet to take a cent of federal bailout money.

#11 The Tribute is a cousin of the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner. Mrs. Pacman has had her V-6 Escape Limited for nearly four years, something like 60K on the odometer, and it's been a gem so far.

Ugly, too . . .

I'm not sure I'd buy a car called "Speed" . . .

Mazdaspeed is a different division of Mazda that specializes in the sportier cars. They also have lots of after market products for their cars that are made especially for them, instead of BS products that dont work. The car is incredible. Please post after you have driven it and let us know.

Mazdaspeed cars are equipped with better suspension, shocks, braces, exhaust, and usually a turbo. The Mazdaspeed Miata is very fast and corners better than virtually any other car on the market.
