That car is not about going super fast, it's a blast to drive and it handles like a slot car. Paid half...HALF...what the car was sticker for brand new. It had about 3,500 miles on it when he bought it.

I'm with TOBY J, as my tastes are a bit different...that sounds underwhelming for $70k. A stock WRX can run the 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and handles amazingly for $25k. The Focus ST is a little slower, but handles even better for the same price. Less than $5k in mods can get a WRX over 300WHP and better suspension/handling. Gorgeous cars, but for that price I'd expect better. If my limit was $70k, I would probably buy a C6 Z06.
FYI, that's not a knock on you or your dad. I love the fact that he seems to be thoroughly enjoying his car, which is all that matters in the end.
