but the problem is would i perhaps not appreciate the cosworth due to having some decent scoobs in my time,
So im wondering if there are any of you lot who have come from Imprezas,Evos etc and have an opinion on the matter, or just any general views i would appreciate it.
I think i can comment on this too.
I had two Evo 6's before i bought my Escort Cos, the Evos were a faultless car, i knew it wouldnt break and i knew it would start everytime i went out to my garage, however with the Escort, its a very different issue.
For one most Evos (6's onwards for example) are S plate or newer, so a car thats 6 years old will perform and hold together far better than a car which is 12 years old on the whole.
I got my Cossie as i always fancied one since a nipper, and although im glad i have one, they can be a right pain in the arse, or mine has been anyway
mine has cost me a small fortune, i think i have been unlucky with the car i bought, but i didnt expect to buy an Escort Cossie and have it never break down, but to the extent it has is something i cant quite believe, i have near enough replaced everything mechanically
I've not driven a standard Escort Cos, i think i would be bitterly disappointed if i did, so can only comment on my one which flies now and so it should do.
For exclusivity go for an Escort Cos, if you want a car that'll take the punishment of your right foot, handle better, feel far safer in but still be labelled a chav, go for an Evo, i will return back to them one day as they are awesome cars.
Good luck !!
