the biggest differance with evos compared to your escort cos is evos go down in value,i could not tell the differance between a 5 and a 6 and or a 7 and a 8 and a 8 and a 9,there is a noticeble differance imo between a 4 and a 5 and 6 and a 7 though.

a 8 fq is a warmed up gsr,a 8 mr has a alloy roof skin and other tweeks and is newer
