There's more than a few Evo vs 370 threads if you search.

Go with the Ford Fiesta, it's the obvious choice.

Do you have kids or married? Not the Z.
Do you really need back seats (4 seater)? Not the Z.
Oh wait your in California! Get a Z!
People that live in wintry area's still get a Z cause it's worth waiting for warm weather.
You have warm weather all the time!

Which trim line are you looking at in the Evo or Z?
Will this be your only car?


Do you need back seats or cargo room at all? Skip the Z.
Do you anticipate poor weather or snowy weather driving regularly? Maybe skip the Z.
Are you >250lbs or taller than 6'5"? You might not like the Z.
Are you self-conscious of gas mileage/prices or insurance rates? Probably skip the Z.


Have you test-driven both cars? What did you think?
