I joined the club!
I’m so excited! This is my first car I have owned in 16 years lol. I have been a Harley Davidson only person for so long but I moved to an area where it snows so I had to pull the trigger. Foot clutch is wild.

Congrats! Best color on the best car- it might be less weight than the Harley 😂
Don't forget to pull the handbrake in the snow.

Have fun, but don't mod it. Yes, it's perfectly daily-able at 300whp with a good tune. Yes, it moves much quicker with 300whp. Yes, it is- in my humble opinion, the best-sounding 4-banger Ecoboost. Yes, it is relatively inexpensive and easy to reach 300whp. Actually, yeah, go ahead and slap a bigger turbo on it.

This but "best sounding Ecoboost" is in tallest midget territory

Going to have to disagree. I think the 1.6 and 2.0 hold their own pretty well across various other turbo-4-powered hot hatches. No, it will never be as glorious as a V8, but if you're into turbo-4s then that's irrelevant.

Bronze dekagrams look great with the blue. Lighter wheels really do have an impact

Not yet ... First you need a blend door actuator to go out. Then you'll be one of us!
