I agree with Dingy on his comments, especially after what you said in your initial post.
Handling - i love to drive hard round country roads and push the car through bends and roundabouts, so strong brakes and cornering ability is a must.
M5 handles
ok, but it's a heavy car and the brakes are shite. But It's a brilliant car and ridiculosly fast in standard form, it just doesn't stop going in any gear. Having said that, I dont own a focus or evo or jag, so they might be even worse. Personally from looking at your list, Id say Focus. It'll be easy to drive, quick, good brakes, cheap to fix and service (by comparison).
