Is this the best new fwd/awd car I can get for $25k?

Fiesta ST

I have a 100% city commute and don't want to drive a stick

Ford store by me doesn't even stock any of them

Then get a GTI if your main requirement is a DSG.

Though honestly it sounds like you'd be better off with a dose of man the fuck up little bitch. I drive a manual in rush hour traffic 2 hours a day in one of the world's most congested cities.

Good for you?

god damn could you at least defend yourself better

>trying this hard to justify your terrible purchase

Yet another fell for the manual meme.

Fucking ameriburgers.

Kia forte5 sx, invest the last 5k in what ever you want.

The 9-3 Turbo X can be service at any GM place.
The engine was also used (for one model year, 2010) in the Cadillac SRX. The transmission is a bulletproof 6 speed manual. MPG is comparable to any FWD V6.

As to no hatch, you're right. They didn't do a hatch. They did do a glorious wagon though.

>Turbo X
>Slow and exploding transmission
You sir, do not know what the Turbo X was. 300+ HP is NOT slow.
The F40 manual transmission is not weak either and does not have a reputation for breaking.

>driving AT at all
Ahahahahaha

Oh you're serious??

AAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>300+ HP is NOT slow.
seems pretty slow senpai

Not him, but the 2.8t doesnt come alive until its been tuned
Which after it gets tuned it would destroy those cars

However I don't think the turbo x is a good suggestion considering the rarity of them
i believe only there is only 600 of them

>needs to be tuned to beat an avis rental car

>bus riders.png
To be fair, he drives a scooter.

>new
Buy a used Evo or Subie.

Saab was very conservative with their engine tuning
That's why you get an extra 80hp and 100ft-lb of torque with just an ecu flash
Also the turbo x only makes 280hp stock not 300

Regardless op is asking about new cars
Since saab is kill there are no new saabs

You can probably find a used MS3 with all the options for cheap these days.

shut up and buy a civic for

Yes. Get a Gti S with performance pack.

>Buy a used Evo or Subie.
Suggests the most abused cars on the planet

The golf looks the best, but you get more out of a honda/mazda for the price

>11k 2008 MS3
>80k Miles
>Sport trim, but still has a shitton of leather
>Bose sound system

Cheap, fast, and very easily modable. Perfect daily, economical (22 mpg, stay out of boost + new intake), and reliable. (Fully forged internals.)

I love my MS3. The gen 1's look like a normal Mazda 3 as well, so sleeper too.

The look I get from people as I blow their doors off with my gen1 is priceless. I've got it on a tune pushing 19 psi, but everything on the outside is stock, even have a black intercooler for that superstealth.

>black intercooler
Why don't more people do this?

>ricer sticker

>The look I get from people as I blow their doors off with my gen1 is priceless
>stoplight racing people that aren't racing with you
>the priceless look you get from people is actually them wondering why you're speeding through town.
>goes on Mazda forums and brags about beating a Ferrari that didn't even know you were driving next to him

What the fuck

what the GTI always this big?

I think it got bigger with the mk3 then bigger again with the mk5 and bigger with the mk7 but the mk7 looks lower than the 5&6 not sure if it actually is but it appears longer, wider and lower.
