Funny, every Focus thread somehow goes into WRX or STi.
By the way Mitsubishi is going to stop producing EVO's. Just saying.

Too loud, just being a Mustang is heat-score enough. I ordered Kona Blue.

I thought Mitsu was turning the EVO into a Hybrid?

Nothing wrong with that, KB is pretty nice too when that metallic in it pops in the sunlight.

Not the best comparison anymore, the Subaru's are fun but interiors are Toyota plain imo.

It's a driver's car, who cares about the interior?
Even my truck with the polished piano black and chrome interior, leather seats, etc... it's nice but I could care less. It makes an impression on people sometimes when they get in, but in daily driving I don't notice it a bit.
I love that my ZX3's interior is plain. It's less hassle and less stuff to break! LOL

If he won't Nik, I'll bring the Fusion and we'll see AWD to AWD system (But I think you'll have a decided weight advantage, not including my lard ass in the car either )

news flash. I didn't buy a v6 'vert to go racing. Verts are for relaxin' and cruisin'... not for slapping your meat on the pavement for all to see.
when I get back to the track, I'll do it right -- don't worry..

For tastefully modified and reliable R32 is about $20k and there's another $20k for back up. what could go wrong?? (well a lot actually, since the manual in jap only) it's godzilla, no other car came close to that. even when it's new it cost about the same as the new final gen supra.
I still maintain that if you buy a car or purely FUN only and no DD consideration for that much money you could get a lot from other vehicle other than new focus. but if you want fun DD then it's a diferrent story (oh hey, the current WRX looks like 5 door focus on steroid, so yeah)

What I'm saying is that you cannot compare a USED car with a NEW car. You cannot compare a $30k NEW car with a $20k USED car. You CAN compare a $20k USED R32 with a $5k USED Focus. You could buy my 2005 Focus ST and put $15k into it too.
To summarize:
