Ford Focus RS mk2 vs Audi S3?

I'm stuck between the choice of two beautiful cars. The Mk2 Ford Focus RS in white or an Audi S3 2L Turbo 265bhp.(Again in white)

My dream car has always been the RS, however since having a ride in my friends Audi I can't help but think the benefits of the audi in the longrun might outweight those of the RS. I know the RS has an exceptional driving style that will put a smile on your face which is why I'm reluctant to venture away from it.

However I can't help but the the luxury and comfort of an Audi would have its benefits? I understand its less bhp than the RS but slightly quicker at 0-60mph.

Just afew questions regarding running costs of each vehicle?

Servicing costs for each?
Cost of tyres as I know this is one major expensive for the RS?
Fuel costs? Average MPG and cost of a full tank? How many miles do you get out of a full tank?
Any issues I should be aware of? I.e Fords Rust whereas Audis are solid.

Any experience you could share would be great, along with anything I've missed!

Camera for a youtube vlogger?

So I'm having some major issues with my camera…

I have a canon rebel t3i that takes amazing photos and perfect hd video but the problem is it stops literally every two seconds when taking a video. (YES i have the best possible sd card for it) so I'm kind of looking for a new CAMCORDER.

I just realized that a camcorder is much easier to take videos on plus they usually have auto focus which is perfect because i zoom in and out pretty often.

Please suggest any camcorders that you guys recommend, I don't want anything more than like 400-450 because then I would just buy the t5i!

Can I put HIDS in my after market headlight housing?

I have aftermarket halo headlights on my ford focus.
I don't like the halogen lights and want to put in HIDS but there's a sticker that says no hids
is this just a legality thing or should I really not put them in? Will it melt the housing?

you can see them in this video

What amount should I get a loan for?

I'm a college student an is in the process of looking for a car, I'm found one I was interested in that was for $5,999 it's a 2009 ford focus se coupe an it has 98,940 miles on it. I live in Maryland and the dealership is in Virginia. I was wondering how much I should request a loan for I can't afford a down payment so I plan to use the loan to pay majority of the car. But should I include the tags, title and taxes? An how much would it be? I plan on going to get it myself so I wouldn't get any additional fees. An I don't want to want to get there an find out I have to pay something else that I wasn't prepared for.

Ford Focus power steering heavy to turn, small bubbles in reservoir, and recent dead battery?

02 Ford Focus recently had a dead battery replaced, 2 days later the steering became difficult to turn. Also, noticed small bubbles in the power steering fluid reservoir. Sometimes in the morning squealing is heard while turning. The smooth side of the serpentine belt seems worn, I believe I'm seeing the metal chords in the belt.

I imagine the belt is slipping, causing the squealing, lack of power steering and dead battery, though the AC blows cold.

Is it the belt? Is it the steering rack since the AC still blows? Does anyone have any insight on the issue? What could be causing these issues? I have many concerns because the serpentine is also tied into the water pump.
