All the nuts and bolts stuff can be found here on Ford's website. I'm not going to explain what you can look up for yourself.
It comes in three different trim levels. We drove the ST2 which has lots of the bells and whistles, Recaro seats, and the Eco boost engine. The ST3 has the V6 motor that gives you the same horsepower but is less fuel efficient. Still haven't figured out the appeal of that other than feeling all bad-a** and s*** when you say you drive a V6?

The exterior: I like it a lot. Ours was white with black interior. It's a bit edgy without being too overdone and I love hatchbacks. It sits really nice and it looks even better in person than it does in pics. The stance was perfect, we love the way the body lines flow along the fenders. Greg and I both liked the grill on the ST much better than the one on the regular Focus. The side mirrors were awesome. They had integrated blind spot mirrors which was an unexpected cool convenience. Speaking of those mirrors, the wind noise coming around them was almost nil. Ford nailed this one and their target demographic is going to love it. We're probably 20 years apart from their demographic and WE loved it. I'd powder coat the wheels black, tint the windows, and call it good. At this point, I would normally say that we'd lower it but it's pretty much right where it needs to be.
The interior.: The front seats are phenomenal. However, the backseat is damn near unusable. Greg did NOT fit and I just barely did. Our salesgirl sat behind me on the test drive and I had to scoot so far up for her to get in, it was almost uncomfortable to drive. I wouldn't even put a kid's car seat back there. However, it would be perfect for someone with no kids and a skinny dog. Hence, the demographic they are appealing to. Cargo capacity with the rear seats folded down is 44.8 cu feet.
The seats are really nice. They're Recaros, so they do have some extreme bolstering, which Greg loves. I would have no problem driving it to work everyday but I'm not sure how they would be on a long trip. The controls are conveniently placed and easy to use. The gauges are pod-mounted atop the dash. Not a lot of excess junk going on there, which I like. Again, all the goodies are listed on the website. It comes with anything and everything you might want. You just have to pay extra for some things. There is a lot of plastic that looked to be of very good quality / texture / appearance. There was a dry carbon-fiber look on a lot of the surfaces. The tops of the doors and dash had a very dense, rich rubber feel.
Performance. The ST is quick off the line, shifts smooth, and responds well to throttle, steering, and brake input. The brakes were a bit touchy to me but that's probably just me being used to driving the Insight so much. I'm sure they're fine. It handles very well. I did notice though that any time we ran over something in the road, all of that energy was transferred through the suspension, the seat, right into my spine and diaphragm. It was odd because when you talk, everything comes out as a stutter. Imagine driving over railroad tracks constantly and trying to talk. Sorry, but it's really hard to describe accurately. You'll just to go drive one and see for yourself. That might not be an issue here, since our roads are in pretty fabulous condition. However, in Pennsylvania or California, it would probably suck. Sticky Summer tires would probably eliminate these issues but for the price they want you to pay for this car, it shouldn't even be an issue.
Fuel economy. I was really surprised by the fuel economy. Ford claims 23/32 but the car we were driving had only averaged 18.2 so far and it only had 100 miles on it. I know that's largely due to a lot of people just hammering down on it during test drives (I DID IT). I'd say Ford is probably spot on with the claims given normal drivers / normal driving conditions but I'm pretty sure I would never get that out of it.
Overall, I walked away thinking that the car was pretty awesome. It was fun to drive and I would recommend it but I would not buy one brand new. The one we drove was $28,000+. Base model Zs start at $33K, which is a whole lot more car for not much more money. There were a few things I didn't like but a whole lot of things I did. I wish we could rent one for a track event and see how it performs under those type of conditions because I was very impressed with it on the open road. I think someone needs to rent one of these for Carlisle and put it to the test. *Hint, Hint*
Pros: Quick acceleration, great handling, smooth shifts, exterior styling.
Cons: Lots of feedback from the road, lower than expected fuel economy, horrible back seat leg room.
As long as the dealerships cooperate with me, I'll drive whatever. I still haven't driven the Genesis Coupe yet which is high on the list. Our local Hyundai dealer is having a huge sale right now because their facility is under construction. They've got thousands marked off everything. Someone remind me not to take the checkbook.
