    Fiesta ST?

    While ES has gathered a big honda fit following, and Chantastic's heavily modded one aside, I find them REALLY boring.
    Fiesta ST is discontinued in NA IIRC.

    Fit. Or HRV.

    I had bought the Kona out of the Seltos/CX3/Juke/Encore/Renegade/Ecosport/HRV/CH-R/Taos family
    Don't even consider the lower model engine though
    Have used the Kona for the last three weeks as a rental and it was pretty fun to drive, and handled very well with the AWD in brutal snow conditions.

    Do current gen Golf still have old fashioned infotainment? That's a boring and sorta reliable vehicle.

    Nope. I'm pretty sure the MK8 Golf is all touchscreen and new-school.

    Oh dang. I suspect that one thing will have a huge impact on this old person's happiness.

    Bad time to trying to buy a car when a used Corolla is priced more than new.

    Also Honda Fit.

    That's most likely the 2.0L engine instead of the 1.6T 7speedDCT though

    I also drove the overseas equivalent of the Kona and was very impressed. I was expecting a carboard shit box and by the end of it I actually enjoyed it.

    Strange car of choice if highway driving is required. IMO better off to go up into a Civic or Corolla.

    Yeah you're likely right, but in that case the 2.0L was totally fine. All I did was highway driving in Nevada.

    Muffler delete, BOV, 5% tint, 2x12" subs. lol. That has essentially every red flag for a used car, aside from "lady driven" being in the ad. All for the entirely outrageous low low price of $23k.

    Definitely just stop reading at muffler delete and move onto next search result.

    Full disclosure, I didn't read the whole ad. I just saw relatively low KM for the year on what looked to be a nice ST at a price that is ok-ish for the current market.

    This market is nuts, back in 2014 I has sold my 1 year old 2013 Focus ST with 18,000 kms for $28,000 which I though was strong money considering I bought it for $32K new.

    Haha yeah that wasn't intended to be a commentary on your post, per-say, just on how outrageous the market is.

    I wouldn't pay $23k for that car with half the km on it and no mods. Probably a reflection of how out of touch I must be with the ford hatchback market.
