I would still get the Focus RS over the Mustang:

I love my ST for being practical and fun. Give me all wheel drive and "Drift" mode and I'll be happier than a pig in shit.

The Focus RS is sweet, but $55-60k is pretty steep.

...only if you're driving in the city. ;D

This.

The '18 brings some further refinements, but the new front end is too busy. The triangles at each end of the bumper are  [puke]

10th is 0.636, 9th is 0.689, and 8th is 0.854.
Given the span, 7th is ~1.04.
So appears only 3 overdrives.
:-\

Basically a CVT.  ;D

I like it!

Mustangs have grown on me the last couple years.  I'm liking the look.

I'm hoping that 10-speed auto will make it into their other vehicles like the Explorer.
