>Fiesta ST
you seem confused, that's not a Focus RS
Xavier White
Because the STI is a quasi performance car and the Fiesta is just a souped fwd grocery getter. People get bored of the Fiesta's "power" and realize that dumping money into a fwd is pointless and sell it.
William Rivera
this, that fiesta will be a much better car too

huge difference in performance level
Juan Jackson
They had an ats coupe? I thought it was a sedan
Joshua Campbell
Because its 80% the performance of a 2018 STi you can buy at the Subaru dealer for 40% of what a new one would cost (or $15-17k).

The only catch being hella expensive replacement parts, because cadillac, and I don't believe LSD's are standard.

WRXs have a strong background in rally that draws people. The strongest alternative would be the EVO and there are plenty of negatives to that. The blobeye and the hawkeye also have a unique look to them with the hood scoop that other cars don't.

When they stop being unreliable money pits.
Liam Perez
Ats was always available in both
Mason Robinson
Not really, same stuff as a base model Camaro
Julian Collins
Because a brand new STI uses the same ancient engine so it doesn't matter.

Too bad the infotainment is trash. You could always drop a grand to add Android Auto... or buy a phone mount
Dylan Bell
The stock head unit should support AA on newer models.

Basically.
STIs between 2002 and 2007 were the fastest STIs. They were the lightest and made +/- 300bhp depending on the year.
It's a car that pulls a stock 4.7 0-60 time and it's pretty easy to get it into the 3s for 0-60. It's not that heavy. It has a good and proper AWD system. It has a short geared 6-speed. It (objectively) looks good.
An STI can be easily formed into a SERIOUS performance car while a Fiesta ST can't be.
The 06 STI runs the fastest quarter mile of any (negating special trims like RA or Prodrive) STI ever.
