I see some old 240 owners chiming in here! My 97 240SX was and and still is one of my favorite cars to daily drive. 400hp /420 tq with boost that comes on at 2K makes it so fun to drive. I don't do it much anymore because I drive far now, and I'm trying to preserve the original paint as best as I can.
The Focus ST is actually pretty fun too. I was actually surprised that it tripods on the track when you push it! What makes it un-dailyable for me is the face that I just can't heel toe in it for the life of me at low speeds with stock pedals. I end up slamming on the brakes and fully stopping the car. Combination of high seat height and the gas pedal being so low compared to the brake makes it a bit weird.
