its just another cult 'cool' car, some people like em some dont, when i was at school i used to think these cars are made for oap's
when i saw the black one on the trader from ireland for 10k sterling i thought WTF?! but then again i understand there is enthusiasts out there for these cars
its the same with rs turbo's and cosworths, not every one would would want to pay 15k for a M reg Escort with a big 'whale tail'
i agree with stavros that these dont win at drift competitions, i still cant figure out how people say to me that your car is the worlds best drift car lmao, i get people at uni telling me that, nice bit of attention but utter crap lol
its a fun car, not a lot of power but fun all the same, nicely balanced and fairly light
the UK versions will always fetch more money than the import, cant understand that because id rather buy a car with minimal rust and usually the imports are ok on rust the UK ones are heavily infected with rust
oh and if some one wants a good car to drift in the 200sx's have proven to be good at it
