Hello, been checking out these forums for a few days before actually posting, and it seems like this is a nice, family like group. Just got a 2012 Focus SE, 203A, sport package, 6AT hatch on 11-6 and have put a little over 700 miles on it (currently 1,000. 321 miles at dealership, apparently it was driven from it's original destination in Alabama. 
) Anywho, coming from a 2009 Chevy Cobalt it's like going from a Geo to a Lexus! Okay, a little over-enthusiastic, but that Cobalt was a POS compared to this.
I don't have much to offer yet community wise, but I will share a picture of my car. No set mods yet, save for a window tint (much needed when summer hits again), and getting some Whiteline front and rear sway bars around the holidays. Debating a CAI, but I want to see dyno numbers first as the way our airbox is setup, it's always pulling in cool air it seems. Blacking out the chrome is high on my list as well.
I might be one of the lucky few, but I've yet to have any issues with the automated-manual. It was finicky for the first 500 or so miles, but it's greatly improved since then. Getting 25mpg in heavy stop-go traffic and a short highway commute consisting of speeds between 70 and 80mph for a daily commute. Now I'm gonna shut up and post a picture after it's first good wash and waxing.
