The 24v scorpio cossie (never actually badged as a cosworth though) are wicked motors. My brother has a 1995 (not bug-eyed) one and its really comfortable, good brakes (same as standard escort cossie), air con, electric everything. Even with the autobox they are still quite nippy and will still embarass most modern hot hatches. After driving my xr4x4 which is a lot stiffer the scorpio feels so comfortable with the added bonus that the XR feels like a go-cart when you drive that next.
Get one they are great!
