    Evo X, Focus RS, STi, and Golf R Comparo -Everyday Driver

    The comparison everyone has been waiting for. Nice to see the Evo can still compete with these new cars.

    I'm amazed, and simultaneously sad for Ford and Subaru that the X received such praise in terms of driving dynamics and it's not far from it's 10th bday. It's not like Ford is new to this with a rally heritage spanning decades. Not surprised that the Golf R is kind of a yawn, they are going for a different buyer.

    It's kind of hilarious to hear them talking about the X like that - "economy interior" "light switch power delivery" "singular focus" etc. Makes you wonder what they'd say about the IX, or even an VIII, since the X is considerably softer, more refined, less urgent and has a considerably smoother power delivery.

    What drew me to the Evo originally is just the sheer amount of fun it is to drive. If and when I look to replace it or add to the family it's really tough to decide what other car could be similar, maybe I would have to add an X to the family or go older and get a V or VI.... someday
