Once prices calm down a bit... Gotta be manual, pretty locked in to Ford.

Top picks are 2022 2-door Bronco 7-speed! (when available), or a Focus ST 6-Speed. How bad of an idea is it to order/ buy a brand new car? Don’t care about depreciation cause I would have no plans on selling. 7speed is base model so not too pricey.

Otherwise, a tiny “rally” car getting 35mpg would be a lot of fun, used from 2017 if I recall. I’ve read they’re actually perfectly comfortable for guys my height. Race seats and whatnot.

Still keeping my stick shift Escape; I don’t want to drive it into the ground-getting close. Big truck or lil hatch?.. Would be nice to be able to tow. Also would be nice to take country road corners at 70 cause I can.

Any thoughts fellas?

Make sure you go to a dealer that isn't charging market adjustment. The only dealer near me that does is Honda, Toyota, Ford and Kia dealers near me all charged regular MSRP, so if you go to one Ford dealer and they charge market adjustment, walk right out the door and go somewhere else.

Getting exactly what you want in terms of options is going to be tricky, inventory is fucked and wait times for custom orders are long. Easiest way to get what you want is to actually go on the Ford configurator website, configure the options you want and then use the search inventory feature to find a dealer with what you want in hand.
