I've never liked mk4 escorts myself but have been obsessed with mk3's since I was a nipper. I'd still get rid of my saph Cossie for a mk3 escort even now but that's only because the mk3 escort was the only car I ever wanted (had loads over the years) but at the time I wanted the power of the Cossie. The prices of escorts now are creeping up so much I'll never be able to afford one alongside the Cossie
