Why the hell do you need people to tell you what car to get

Are you going to ask us what woman you should date to ?

The focus is an attractive choice - it is clearly a better daily driver than the EVO with lower servicing costs and more robust to family life. However, i'd still have an EVO - but be warned, as a drivers card the Focus RS is very hard to beat, many people preferring it to the mighty EVO.

FFS there's only the need to do one fucking thread, not multiple ones about the same thing over and over again. You're making yourself look a right tit
