Go re-read your first post in the thread. The final choice was nothing close to what you posted originally. Maybe you'd have gotten better advice if you were more accurate in what you were looking for.

Ford Fiesta S with a stick shift. Black, white or silver are the only color choices..

Comes with air, a radio, rear defogger & power mirrors.

5 year, 60k powertrain warranty & can be extended to 8/150k for not much more.

Figure $10-$12k with incentives & rebates.. 0% financing for 60 months in my area..

don’t get the automatic trans, lots of problems with those, but the sticks are fine & decently reliable..

How are those cars for northern climates, though? The Ford Focus was a good little car, except for all the body rot that they were prone to up in the rust belt. How does the Fiesta hold up in comparison?
New England winters are not at all friendly to a car's body and frame.

The entire thread was a sham so yeah... whatever.

I think I like the new 2019 Ford Fusion S, as I see prices going for as low as $13,999 sale, and one user posted a thread here that it's more-reliable than Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
