Neither mate - bit off topic but get an RS500 instead !!!

ellicoss

Yes totaly agree get a 500 still be worth what you payed for it in 5 years if you keep it nice

Cam

EVO over either

ellicoss

EVO

pollocks

if the reason your gettign rid of the s2 is cause its old get the newer option the focus

joel_winders

a big fat evo 6, its sad to say but thats what i'd spend my money on but second would be the escos

Mr S1

Better drivers car maybe................but residuals ? Exclusitivity ? Individualism ? Even pose factor !! I suspect the old Sierra will give the Evo a poke in the eye with a VERY sharp stick

dreamin

not having owned either this is just my opinion prob dont mean much but here goes , i would go for the escos as i think they just look sooo right thats not to say i dont like the frs just prefer the escos

RS Focus more usable if thats what you want Ive had 2 Escos and i find you cant leave em anywhere

Good luck on what you choose

or if you dont use your RS much go 500 route

Redkop

Agreed

MikeR

The man has taste,

But the idea of a 500 is not bad i might go for one at some stage,

but to be honest i would say dont get a loan save a bit longer,

mike is yours a evo 6 dont know wot they look like

MikeR

Evo 8 MR FQ 320 standard and goes like fuck,

the 6's are far more like Rally Slags look awsome,

13k loan.. fuck that..

Save up If not, go for a RWD Saff

out of the 2 id go for the Focus just coz you won't get the jealous kids in their Novas scratching it etc. But also it goes pretty well for a standard car.

Ive had an EVO8 FQ330, was an awesome car,

But prefer my 3dr to be honest, but thats just me........

If i had another EVO which i might, it would be a 6, TOMMI MAK......


But out of the 2 you`ve mentioned, focus for everyday, escos for the looks, and for just being an escos

GAFFA

just thought havent got a garage but got a drive that goes round the back of my house ,,,,,, bit dodgy leavin a cossie out

andyh4324

that the trouble with having a nice car!

Andreas

Would get the Focus unless you got more money to spend on repairs for the cossie.

I've been bandying this idea about in my head and I've just been and test driven a Focus RS and it clinched it for me. Its fast, comfortable and new and has the things I want. It looks great, I loved the colour. Always wanted an Escy Cos, but not anymore, think they are getting a bit long in the tooth and I'll be buying the FRS when I change my car next.

Everyday car ??? gotta be the Focus

2nd car using for shows, posing etc etc??? Escort or RS500 imo

BlueSmoke

I love how everyone says save up! I'd bet around 70% of people buying cars buy them on finance/borrowed money. Not everyone wants to save for four years!

GAFFA

YOUR RITE THERE MATE JUST GET THE LOAN . GET THE CAR .AND WORRY ABOUT THE REST LATER

Test drive everything in your budget and then make the decision

Lee Reynolds

AGREED

We NEVER buy cars with our bank cash. Always borrow...Its 5% interest....thats fook all. Id rather have money in the bank for when i need it and pay for a car monthly than have a load of money tied in the car....

Just bought the Golf gti cash..but i mean like when i bought my escos or my BMW i had last year....i borrowed about a third of the money....

PT

missed the part where it says focus RS escos or EVO EVO EVO

Out of the 2 Focus RS with your budget.

Get a good focus cheaper than you can a good escos plus focus is a lot cheaper to insure.

AndyRST

Depends on how much milage your going to be doing and why your using the car?

If its just a evenings/weekends toy and your going to have spare £££ each month to keep it running then the Esc Cos.

But if your using everyday and you dont have any spare £££ to spend on a car each month, then the Focus RS.



IMO the service costs of Evo's is too much for an everyday car.

_DAN_

I'd buy this.

I have a customer with a Focus RS for sale that is right in your price range.... give us a call if ya want his details....

MikeR

I know good job Liz loves me


Mike

AndyRST

She must be mad, she could have a 5 bed house with double garage, but instead you have an Evo 8 and the servicing costs

That was the main thing that put me off buying an Evo for an everyday car, i couldnt afford to keep servicing it and replacing the parts when i get a bit carried away with it and that with i perfered the look of a Focus RS over the Evo 7/8

Kev.H

Focus RS r shit mate

CozzyBrom

focus nice car to drive but shit fukin slow it depends what ya after
get scotty or sombody to build a cozzy focus and ya laffing

Kev.H

shit slow to what your 3 door a ferari a push bike a snail bit of a fleeting comment

Richie Russ

Depending on where you are, servicing an Evo is NOT expensive, i used to take mine to a reputable tuner / garage near me, full service was about 90 quid all in, AND a lot of people would prefer to have bought a car which has been looked after by an enthusiast rather than some spotty oik in a Mitsi garage who hasn't got the passion for the cars as we have

Go for the Focus

Redkop

Agree totally, I use a tuner instead of a Mitsi dealer.

Evos -
Escos -
