opinions wanted! what to buy??????????????????

Had an rs turbo loved it, easy to maintain but old

cossy loved it and quick but old

st newer, not quick and more money.

what to do?????

 

buy what the fuck you like mate, dont go by people's votes & shit from the interfuckinnet

 

focus ST170 or the newer turbo one?

also surely its budget dependant

i have driven all of the above.

rs turbo....ok drive if you find a nice one, rattles and squeaks and stuff breaks

cossie.....great drive, late ones have all the toys, but they make you paranoid and arent really suitable for everyday use....unless you dont car about it

Focus ST170.......drives ace, looks nice, and really well built. (good with leather and climate) just feel a little lethargic compared to the above 2 and dont stand out in a crowd

 

i wonder if anyone actually has made a bid decision like this based on opinions of people they dont know and have never met?

 

newer one ginge or even fiesta st.

 

evo 8's are going for the same price as st's
and i know what one id be buying

 

the new one is an awesome car....the only thing that puts me off is the depreciation.....i would have to have an Orange one though

 

on here? it wouldnt suprise me to be honest

 

Wait for the new focus rs.

 

im not making a decision based on that LOL, im just trying to get a basis of good and bad points of view

 

if i had the cash id buy the newer one. second choice would be the cosworth. i wouldnt even be considering an rs turbo.

 

ST is a nice piece of kit but the quickness can soon be sorted if you get a wolf 285 converted one. there's a few around. there's a red one on pistonheads at the moment. Few mods here and there on the ST and you can easily see 260-270bhp. But its a hell of a lot more money to start with but will probably last you a lot longer than an RS or a cossie and obviously is newer.

Up to you though. And just to add something else lol, why not try a Focus RS? Cheaper than an ST and still an RS

 

evo or scooby lol

 

ST if its for an everyday car without question. I wouldnt want a cosworth or a an rs turbo for an everyday car that you have to rely on 100% to get you to work.

To be honest though, id be looking at other makes myself.

 

you would get a very good RST for the money the ST would cost you

RST for me given those choice, I would hate to drive anything that could not make me smile

 

Which rs turbo? Fiesta? Escort? s1? s2?

Which cossy?

Which St? Fiesta? Focus 170 or 225? Mondeo?

More info needed mate!!

What do you want the car for? Everyday? Weekend toy?

 

thats if it ever makes it to the showrooms

 

You would rather have an RST than an Focus ST

Christ on a bike!

 

Oh it's coming alright.

 

Kev's ordered haven't you mate...........


I'd have neither, get an Evo...........

 

Nope but i would though.

 

Obviously he's not from round here, or even this planet

I would love another RST, but if I had the choice of a 20 year old bean tin, or a new Focus ST, it'd be the ST EVERY time.


The only reason I'd want a tenth RST would be to look at, maybe take to shows every once in a while

 

As already mentioned above, go and buy yourself an Evo

i know the rs turbowould be alot older but if it was a focus st170 id rather have a decent spec rs turbo aswell would be much more fun than a n/a focus anyday imo.but if its the newer focus the sound alone would sell it to me

 

PMSL im actually a Londoner which im not certain clarifys as being round here, but personally speaking I would much rather have a Mint Series 1 than a Focus ST... just a matter of prefrence

I just really like RST's what can I say

 

So do I. I've had 9 of them.

I am under no illusions that they are nice to drive though

 

New cars just haven't got the styling and are 'orrible to drive!

I'd happily go for the 80s options every time........ in fact I already have

 

PMSL!

 

personally i would never have another performance fwd car, regardless of whichever kind of trick diff it had fitted.

so that only leaves the cossie for me to vote for

 

Buy an Evo 9 360 and be done with it

 

go for a cossie sleeper or just a standerd 1.how many focus's do u see on the roads(LOADS) and when you see a cossie every1 talks about it

COSSIE mate

 

I'd go for the ST for every day use, if its going to be used at weekends/evenings I'd go for the Cossie.

 

When I had my 270bhp ZVH rst, we used to go out and play "guess which way the car is going to go" game.........

foot down, hold on and then see which side of the road we'd end up on...

 

Ive got a cossie and i used to do 180 mile in my cossie going back and forth to work. I would go for a cossie everyone has evos now

 

The ST is bloody good car!! You don't get that old school kick in the back from turbo lag though, which I realy do miss.

I've never been lucky enough to drive, or even be driven , in a cossie, but the respect of these cars should tell you to snatch one up if you ever get the chance of owning one.

How about a nice VXR...

 

St without a doubt

sod the worry of a cossie and rs turbo , just sooooo un realiable

 

Nice RST here Ian

linky



If you want to talk, we'll talk

 

 

E39 M5 rather than a focus ST

just avoid the fucking shitty wood dash that they seem to come with on the cheeper end ones

evo sounds great and all that,,, but a M5 might be a better drivers car

though ive yet to drive either to be qualified to answer that

 

lotus carlton different and will eat all the 3 options
