Default GOOD IDEA OR NOT

Please can you give me your opinion i own two cars a well modded rb5 impreza (toy) and a 325ci bmw which me and the misses use all the time.Im thinking of changing the bm for a last of the escort cosworth what are they like as a every day car and what sort of fuel consumption would i get.Its just ive always wanted one but could not get insurance thats why i brought the impreza.am i right in thinking a small turbo would be better as it will be an every day car and remain standard.

Ditch the Imprezza and replace that with the Cossie and keep the BM as a daily car. After a blast in a properly tweeked Cossie you'll never look at an Imprezza the same way again.

Dont get me wrong, i've had a couple of scooby's in the past & they were alot of fun, but i've had RS's for well over 10 years now & i'll always love em but since buying my evo tme i'll never buy a scooby ever again! (but i'll always have an RS in my garage too)

An evo is defineatly on my list when i get bored of the scooby although to date i have never driven one.A scooby is your first choice when your my age due to you can buy a later car for your money and the group 17 insurance.What sort of mpg do you get from your cossie.
