Hey guys...

Great choices, I picked mine because fit and finish honestly I wanted something different and I've had good luck with my other 2 Mazda shitboxes. OP just make sure to test drive everything you and learn the manual if you can, it's a little annoying in traffic and city but makes up for it in the overall joy of the car.

Is there no Focus RS in america?

the new one only, this is the first time they've been in dealers I believe

The bad automatics are in the pre-facelift models i.e. up until 2013, I own one. You should get a manual anyway though unless you live in like LA or some shit
