It's not the worst car in the world though is it? Yanks like powerful big cars with a mix of comfort & utility for crunching highway miles. So a hatchback is pretty much useless there. Then there's the Fiesta ST.

The ST lineup is a whole different ball game. Cant be compared to the regular models.

To be honest bro. There is a major demand for hatchbacks and mini SUVs. Towns are crowded parking is bad.traffic is HORRIBLE. So even the yanks are buying tiny cars/suvs

The focus hatch is a fast seller. Also very well respected among tuners.

The fiesta attracts all the boy racers. Like the guy above.

Fiesta was not sold in the USA till recently. It was designed for Europe to contend with Fiats and VWs. It was never designed for the American market. 

Fiesta is the best selling car ever, in UK history, beating iconic vehicles like the classic Mini, Ford Escort, Morris Minor and Ford Cortina. 

I do admit that it's a shitty car... 

Agreed. Shame though. The focus hatch is a much better car, just a tad expensive than the fiesta .

The loaded titanium focus has a spec sheet that puts a German car to shame.

As much as I like the Supra... I don't think I can justify the price.

Well it's a worldwide phenomenon with the Supras. From affordable used sports coupe to unobtainable classic in the span of a few years

Its a good car, but the F&F movies overhyped it to the point of unobtanium. You can have the same (if not, better) fun in a corvette or any true RWD sports car. The supra is a bloated GT car. If we come to the 2JZ heart let's face it, there are engines out there with similar strength/reliability records. Not like the 2jz is the only option.

Heck 17.5m here gets you 2 ND miatas, Evo x final edition, R35 GTR, a nice late model BMW/Mercedes Coupe or even better: Six Honda S660s so everyone in the family can have the same sporty fun driving experience!

I have no idea who in this island would pay that much for an old manual-tranny toyota, considering anyone with such money has way faster/modern/sharper/flashier options to go for.

Here is the thing I have with the Supra (and I am a Toyota fan). The Supra was hype created by the fan boys than what the car actually is. The Supra has never been Toyota's halo car which the fanboys make it out to be. The Supra has been a GT car that was produced with components of other cars. Even the 2JZ engine was never built specifically for the Supra. It was built for large sedans like the Aristo and the Crown and  the 2JZ_GTE was developed and first put in the Aristo for a JTCC spec car and its homologation models.

As for the engine...well you drive a 2JZ-GTE you do fall in love with it. It is smooth and very responsive. Only a very few engines come close to that..and the closest is definitely the RB26DETT. What puts the 2JZ ahead of the RB and the others is that its tuning potential...even with a stock block people are pushing out nearly 1000hp.  Cannot think of any other engines out there that can do that...even from the likes of BMW. 

But that Supra..yeah..over priced...there have been many other Supras in much better shape and much better spec gone for far less. Also, according to some FB group posts the same car was advertised a few years ago for less than 1/4th that price...
