Default Escort Cossie comes in at no. 30 in top 50 drivers cars

As voted by Evo readers.

Evo VI in at 24
M3 at 18
Scooby P1 at 17 - boo hisss

Macca F1 no.1

Not sure how it was scored but I doubt there are that many people who have actually driven half the cars on the list

Sierra/Saph was at 46

PMSL @ a load of people who have never even seen a mclaren F1 in real life up close let alone driven one all voting for it

If ever there was a poll that proves beyond doubt that evo polls are fucking shite, its this one

gay.

cars that most have never driven way too high up the list just cause they imagine they good.

cars that the voters own and arnt actually all that good cars are ALSO way too high up the list cause of their pride/blinkers of the cars they own.

fantastic

What defines a "driver's car" though? They all need a driver?
It's just a collection of personal opinions in effect. Unless you drive every single car on the list it's kind of meaningless surely?

88% of statistics are made up

It's the best car mag IMO as it covers all marks and has some top writers and features.. The editor owns a zonda which says it all really.

They haven't tested it recently, it was a readers poll on their website.

A while back they did a test on the best car under Ł20k with the escos in. They said buy a M5
