im looking at 4-4.5k

Im a Ford man at heart and have since a little one wanted a Cosworth. ive driven an Evo 4 and it was fast and felt tight but i do fear it is rather "characterless" as are most cars when put to a cossie just because of the history the cars have.

Plus the fact that an evo in one form or another is a bit common place!

Reliability wise i never understand why people have this disillusion in my opinion that a YB is a poor engine. For years my dad and uncle ran Escort / 3Dr cosworth rally cars. Over the years they encountered very few problems. a well built cossie engine pushing 350 brake is just as reliable as anything else in my opinion!

Not too interested in a tracking the car as i rally so track days always a little tame.

Should i buy an Evo i feel ill getting the all too common "what shall i get next" within a few month!
