i went from an evo 6 to the escos, then 5 doors and sensible(ish) made me go the focus ST route, tbh, its a quicker car than the escos ever was in the real world with the amount of torque and NO turbo lag - the only thing i miss is the 4x4 system, having my last 3 cars over 8 years being 4x4s, you do get used to it.
