Do you regret it, did you go back or are you converted?
Before anyone says so, I know they are far superior cars but there is just something about an Escos that makes me unable to part with it.
I do love that new Evo 9 MR FQ360 though

Gatecrasher

my mate done the same thing you asked he had the EVO for 2 weeks Sold it and got a 04 plate gallardo "now that moves"

Mike has assured me with a 500BHP/500FTLB engine in the escort i will destroy him depending on the gearing of the cos

- Sim -

Hmm

the evo thing is electronic diffs....

I dunno if I shall find that cool, yes it makes the car quick and easier to drive, but.... where s the fun?

Not that n Evo is boring or so,,, I got one (in Germany we just have 280 bhp versions) for a day, and hell... I won't change, it was an Evo 8... dunno the 9 modell if its cooler....

I sold my Escort for an Evo FQ300 and i loved it but for how often i use another car it didnt suit my situation and i resorted back to the RS scene

I do say that the Evo is by far the best car ive owned tho and if i didnt have a company derv i would get another

I thought about buying my friends Evo FQ300, is was 360 BHP too..

But i drove it for an hour and got bored of it, yes it was very quick.

But i could not wait to get back in the Escos, fookin love it !

Really Max -what made you sell the last one then?

fish99

im looking at getting rid of the escos for and fq 340 or 360...to be honest i prefer the escorts but the nightmare with getting parts now is a right put off... i mean you cant even get the clip for the side skirts anymore.

if parts were more readily avail then i would keep the escort all day long

I sold my Evo for another Escos, Evo is a great car just not an Escos

Dave Henshall

i part xed the 4x4 saph for an evo 6 - had that for a year and then went back to the escos, the cossie has more character - and i had got bored of the evo after just 12 months, it was v quick and did handle superbly (one the geometry had been set up right)

i have a evo and a escort,its the best of both worlds
i know of another well known chap on here who has the same as me
shame i have been sworn to secrecy

i have been invited to road test a evo 9 at my local main dealers
you service your car there and then get all sorts of offers off them

M.A.D.RST

Do you have a photo of your two together??

I thought about an Evo but opted for the ECossy, glad I did coz I remember test driving an Evo 6 and didn't like it. I can't stop drivin the ECossy, even a half a mile down the road to work

frosty

i was thinking of selling my escos for an evo m8, just can't bring my self to do it.......so, i'm lucky enough to be able to keep the escos and buy an evo 8 aswell.......i just thought sod it, you only live once, as soon as i've moved house i'm having an evo 8, i know i'd regret it if i sold the cossie, even though i have just blown the gearbox up on it.......keep it m8 if u not sure......they still the dogs, after all these years....

with a decat and it was nice,got shut of it and bought another evo 6
they are great cars,you shouldn't be dissapointed

frosty

i'll let you know m8, just got sell the bloody house first and get in our new place, which happens to have a double garage, so cossie and evo will be quite snug together LOL...cheers m8..

Turbo Chris

I bought a Evo 9 GT (only 43 in the country now) approx 12 months ago now to replace my Esc Cos

Guess what? Im stuck with them both as i like driving the both of them as they are totally different cars

At the end of the day i will sell the Evo first if i have to

Cheers,
Chris.

I sold my Escy to buy an Evo 7 and I must say I don't regret it Now by saying that I'm not slating the Escort Cosworth in any way, they still are and always will be one of my favourite cars of all time and I still get a semi on when I see one out on the road, but for my personal situation the Evo does suit me better.
With the Escy I often panicked a bit and felt guilty if I'd been out and given it a really good hammering wondering if everything under the bonnet etc was still OK, whereas with the Evo (well so far at least so touch wood & all that ) you can just abuse it knowing it's going to be fine
