I could get gigabit, but it's not worth the additional cost over the 400/20 that I have right now. With pfsense, QoS, and a decent wireless setup, this is more than good enough for myself and my internet hungry roommates.

Glad you are still having fun with it! I haven't played in ages, I got to the point where I was too angry with other players and the game all the time, and it wasn't fun anymore. Periodically I'll install it again and fire it up for a battle or two, and then remember why I stopped played. I...

Thanks all, quite enjoying it so far. It's definitely a bit less spritely than my focus was in the turns (of course, it's also 7 inches longer, 1 inch longer wheelbase, and 1 inch wider) the suspension is a lot more soft sprung too. So it's comfortable riding but the handling isn't quite as...

It's the end of an era, I finally decided to pull the trigger and get rid of the Focus. Over 100k miles, out of the extended transmission warranty and I don't want to have to deal with the clutch pack replacement again out of my own pocket, and it's never going be worth as much as it is now.

This is a pretty common issue on our older X230s at work... We haven't managed to find any fix for it, other than replacing them. Which is sad, since they are the next most solid model after the T430S... Don't get me started on the T440S, and T460Ss...
