I got one of these earlier this year as a daily driver.
The only significant modification that I am aware of was Crawford Performance installed a turbo into one, and the HP increased to around 300.

Wanted EVO IX

Old school Jeep Wrangler TJ Sport w/Manual. I will be replacing it soon with a Crew Cab truck just haven't made up my mind yet as to which I will get.

onto the FA engine? personlly I'd prefer an EJ. I mean I know the FA is more advanced at all, but I'm not a fan of the way the engine feels... even in my sister's bolt on and tuned WRX that makes 300whp it still feels lazy. I wouldn't call it slow, its hard to describe... just feels lazy...


(not my intention to talk down your cars, just my opinion on the engine)

I just bought a 2018, no options, save for trailer hitch, 2.7l Ecoboost regular cab short bed. $23,700 before tax & title. Traded in the Accord v6 manual, which was a great car except people rear end me. I was going to get a V8 but then things started to spiral out of control when I thought about what I could do to it.

Mine is a Colt Ralliart Version-R from Japan. It is a FWD 1.5L turbo. Stock they make 160bhp but with stage 1 mods (air filter, tune, exhaust) they're good for over 200bhp.

Looks like a ford fiesta. Probably super fun as long as the handling is on point.

They weigh in at around 2,200lbs, they do both a manual and auto cvt, the manual has a Getrag gearbox.
Mine is an auto as my commute is in traffic up and down steep hills so forget riding the clutch all the time.

It actually has ****ty tires on it that are lethal in the wet (it came with them on) but in the dry the handling is as fun as you'd expect, apparently when you stiffen them up they really REALLY turn into go-karts. Semi slicks are on my to do list.

thats cause the only cool/fun small are in america is the Fiesta ST... everything else is utter sh*t. maybe if there were more cool/fun small cars more people would buy them?

Not a bad little run around though for a touch over 5,000 usd (including import and taxes) from Japan.
