Default from 3 dr to escos

really thinking hard about selling the 3 dr cossie and going for a escos.
has anyone done this and if so, how did you find it.?
I know the 3dr probably feels less refined, but is there really that much difference in the delivery of power etc? has anyone regretted it?

please give your opinions to me.....and remember that they are just opinions!! please don't let it turn into an argument. lol

The 3 door is a much nicer to drive car and has much more street cred , plus is a better investment

All My opinion tho

The escoss is a great looking car , but thats about it for me

Drive a standard big turbo one and you'll be very disappointed. Drive the same car with its unlocked potential= stage 3 t34 around 350hp/350lb torque and you'll be hmm this is good but my 3dr pulled harder with less power.

The Escos is a nice looking car, but unless it has 400hp or more then it feels slow,
For a reliable 400+ you need a good box, trans and diffs etc,

The 3dr has a more racey feel with the front end setup, But the escos feels more planted and forgiving.

Drive one

Owned the 3dr for about a year but had 3 now, just fancied a escos, but judging by the feedback on here, it may pay to keep?.

This

Even a stage 3 bt escort isn't a quick car, imagine what a 3 bed semi with 350bhp would drive like and you wont be far off.

I'll agree that that works, probably because it looks like a race car, but Yum somehow looks a bit ordinary without the rear wing, especially from the back, just my opinion though

I personally don't like driving Escorts. It feels like you are sitting ontop of the car rather than in it lol.

I'd keep the 3 door
