I now just bought a 2013 Focus ST with really low Ks and hopefully it lives up to my expectations when it arrives from Melbourne.

Yeh Aussieguy I get your point, back in the distant past I owned a manual XB GT 4 door & loved it but today the auto's are just so good, fast shifting & reliable in particular the Torque converter auto's as in the 2021 Focus ST ( I also needed to consider the other half who will only drive an auto! so there's that) you can use the paddles at anytime & it's really quick using them especially in Sports mode that quickens throttle response, stiffens suspension a tad & makes gear swaps even quicker, I love this thing, it's so much fun, you can even just potter around town calmly in Normal mode, best of both worlds IMO. cheers.
