Use cossie drivers accept there an old donkey and dont handle the best but we enjoy the cars for what they are.
I like M3s and would have one but I just enjoy owning my cossie.
I love audi RS4s and I wouls love an escort cossie. To me I buy/own cars I can afford to run and repair. So if I had 25k to spend on either a RS4 or an escort cossie. It would have to be the cossie, why??? I dont wanna pay 3 grand for a set of brake discs every few years. Most of the cossie service parts are well cheaper too.
