I always dismissed FWD turbomobiles as "pfft, torque steer, fail-wheel-drive" until I drove this. I loveeee the Mazdaspeed3's, but they have an agenda that involves torque-steering you into the nearest tree. And the brand-new ones are heinously ugly.
Ford's got some great stuff out lately and the new Focus intrigued me when it came out. When I heard the ST was coming, I got a little excited. Then I sat in one at the DC auto show early this year, and I swear, the Recaros were built for me.
Also, I got over my anti-FWD bias once I graduated, got a big-boy job, and realized that drive wheels don't matter when you're commuting. Imagine that.
And I still have the Miata (or whatever non-busted track car replaces it) to get my RWD fun on.
