don't like his cd changer

[LOUIE]

sorry to say i have this thought every so often, and dont regret having them..

buy one thrash it, get it out of your system and come back to the mk2s with a clear mind

[Davecos4x4]

buy one now while the prices have come down a bit.

i have had them for years and still got my black one.

[wayne]

I had one after wanting one for years...couldnt shake the sensation of sitting in a mk4 1.4LX. They do drive well but are certainly no mk 1/2 escort in the driver involvement stakes. Probably a good invesment tho.

[maxest]

I'm the opposite and when i sell my escort cosworth i'll most probably get an un-arched mark 1 escort..

Mine will prob be up your street.. 92 white big turbo done 22k miles

You wont have it long before some one nicks it ,,

Well that one has crossed my mind a time or two But mk2,s are just as sought after ! Thanks for replys but like I said I'm not rushing into anything and def not looking for one just yet unless it was too good to miss

Escort cossie is a sound investment but :

Rust worse than mk2's .
drive worse than mk2's .
look worse than mk2's .
Cost more too fix than mk2's .
Worse on petrol than mk2's .
More insurance than mk2's .
can't go sideways like mk2's .
owned by skinheads with big earings (like some mk2's) lol .
have crap xr4x4 running gear .
have a chav factor .
have a stupid looking rear spoiler .
slow as an old boat unless you've got 30 grand spent on it .

Morel of the story = Best keep the mk2 , lol .

[RSSRED]

I like that fair play

[paul mex]

Well when you put it like that they must be crap

Real nice cars and I do like em in white, would be great power although could be laggy depending on turbo and ex housing...I hated the lag on my saph!...Its up to you mate but the grin factor and feeling you get of an auld escort always does it for me...

Some nice Escos's going about at the mo ...its a buyers market too!

For a second there Gaz I really did think your moral of the story was going to be, buy a mk1! lol

[FOR24D]

Had a Escort COSWORTH a S1 turbo , RS16i, mk2RS2, mk2 Mex
All at the same time and the Escort COSWORTH was a fine car but
did not have the " smile factor " of a MK2 was to quite had power steering
and was not " seat of your pants driving" more so in the wet !!! Now have two
MK 2 escorts

They are good cars but finding an honest one is difficult now, prices are still dropping and some nice cars can be had for a good price, absolutely loved my one had it nearly 12yrs and was a right hoot! will deffinately have another one day.

have a look on EscortRScosworth.com great bunch of lads over there.
