Been thinking of selling the passat to get something a bit more sporty, fast road orientated. My mind was set on an e36 M3, however im not totally sure i can afford to run one.

Now the Focus in question seems to be worth half that of an equiv EP3.

For example, 2004 55k Focus = £3-4k 2004 55k EP3 = £6-8k.

I know the ctr is probably better to drive but is it 50% networth cost better ?
