Some good points. I'd still love one, just to scratch an itch. Evos leave me cold tbh. I'm much more into RWD personally, but as it's a childhood dream I'd still have an Escos.

I personally think the Saph is becoming more of a classic performance car now than a serious alternative to anything modern due to its age and it's mainly bought by Ford/RS enthusiasts, especially now the prices have shored up, rather than young lads looking for a performance car.
