Think I would still go Focus for 50+ hp and at the price of 2mpg

 

[NightTrain1584]

True. But its also roughly 800 lbs lighter. It all depends on price. It would be tough to DD that small of a car.

I come up with 411 lbs.... 2848-2537(Ford spec page)

My fault. I thought the focus was heavier. Well then id take the extra space then.

The Focus ST weighs a LOT more than the forthcoming Fiesta ST; See Quote from the Road and Track review:

the 3223-lb. ST steadfastly keeps turning even when the ignition keys are flying horizontally and your earwax is draining onto the side windows. And when the wheels do start to slide, the reaction is faithful and intuitive. It flatters the driver and allows time to correct a slide smoothly without terrifying everyone on board.

Yeah I was gonna say ST is like 3223 or something like that

The #'s I came up with came right from Ford's spec page for the respective cars

I love small DDs. Cars have grown to large. My DD Legacy is now the smaller than most compacts.

If he average Focus ST is 3,223 and the Fiesta ST is gonna weight 2,820 ish. I'd say thats 400 lbs less. So on paper the Focus ST still has more balls.

Fiesta ST is now spec'ed at 2,720 LBs. curb weight ...

3223 - 2720 = Fiesta ST is 503 lbs. lighter than the Focus ST
