If the ST is $30k base, not sure if a RS will sell at a higher price. Though people are buying Golf R's so it could work...

Jun 4th, 2012 07:19 AM #3I think that the RS would probably have to be AWD for people to give it a shot. That being said, Ford will still have to wait and see how well the ST does.

Nice. Why are Canadians being hosed?
In the US, this starts at $24,495? Seems like this this segment consisting of WRX, Ralliart, MS3, GTI are all offered in the $29-30k when they are $23-25k in the US. I guess it doesn't help that the USDCAD exchange rate is at 1.05/1.06 now.

Jun 4th, 2012 08:31 AM #6Are there three or four pedals in the ST and why is it that the left-most seems not flushed left but closer to the center? Are new cars coming up with four pedals now? Originally Posted by poedua

Jun 4th, 2012 08:45 AM #9Still doesn't explain why the third one (left-most) is closer to the center. Maybe I am just used to driving a much older car with the clutch conventionally placed closer to the left side where my left foot is. Originally Posted by poedua

I too find that newer cars have huge foot rests on the left side, pushing the clutch further and further into the middle. For better or for worse, I don't know, I rarely drive stick.
As for the Volt, I commute to Mississauga nowadays, so my drive is 110 km, I've gotten almost 80 km from a charge, but the rest is filled in from the gas generator, so its solidifying my 1.2 L/100km. Trying to get it back down to under 1 L/100km but it doesn't seem likely at this point in time. I could drive on streets to Sauga' but the highway, even with traffic, is much faster.

Some people have no use for the footrest. I don't see any in the images posted on Post #1. I guess this is one more thing to consider if I were to buy another manual transmission car -- the ergonomics of the clutch pedal (placement, height, etc.). Some Americans have complained about that of the Mustang's:
