go for the RS500

Better to buy now (or next year) than wait any longer if you ever fancy a 500

invest in a nice 500 as it will earn rather than loose

Evo - For every day

Saff - weekend toy

RS500 - investment

simple if you ask me!

Well heres my input as ive had a rs500 and now have a evo 6 it all depends on what you want the car for if you want a car for a investment then that maybe a rs500 but just because its a rs500 dont think it will be any better drive than a normal cosworth if you want a car for every day and track days the evo 6 is miles in front even a escort cosworth is not up to it and before people spit there dummy out i mean both in standard trim a 7k evo is by far the better option

You need to weigh up the odds, people will of course be more biased to the ford range on here.

Your right about the evo 6 it made me think i was a bank robber' i just love the way it's a hooligan when driven . I am building a nayghty little escort rs turbo for track days.. the rs 500 is a school boy dream. And it will look good in the middle of my double garage.....
