My local dealer also has a Molten Orange ST. The only option is the Recaro package. No hole in the roof either(thankfully). I wish I didn't hate car payments so much...

I had a focus ST that was paid off. I wanted something with a steel roof. The fiesta can be had with free money from ford, and some more free money over the course of 5 years (0% financing).
Definitely a fun car to drive, but with MC 5w20 syn blend, starting in the polar vortext -10 to -20 degrees generates some top end lifter noise.

+1 on having an AWD turbo Ford. I like what Ford did since 2008, and I would have bought something other than a Mitsubishi if someone else had an AWD or RWD car with DCT. I prefer 4 doors, but I would accept 2 doors.

Does this work on other cars (with FI?)
It seems to work on all FI fords. I used to do it on my 2001 Taurus and a 2001 F350 (cable throttle)
It worked on my parents 2008 Wrangler.
Tried it on my 2000 Jeep cherokee and it instantly fired and bounced off the rev limiter in neutral. But, hey, I'm sure spinning the engine at 3000 RPM got the oil moving quickly!

It is ridiculous to imagine that a dry crank causes no wear.
I agree. The last time I have actually done it on an oil change was 4 years ago on the Cherokee.
But, I think that cranking it at 250RPM to circulate oil is better than the engine racing right up to 2000RPM (hashtag Ford problems).
We used to have to flood-clear crank the 08 Wrangler in the cold to avoid it knocking for 3-4 minutes. Usually 15 seconds of cranking with the gas pedal to the floor would only cause bad knock for 10 or so seconds instead of the 3-4 normal minutes.
