hi every 1,
i currently own a s2, looking to sell this summer, and wantin cossie,
big thing going thry my mind tho is, WHICH ONE
any views to witch would be the best for me? am a spead freak, love fords and cant make up my mind as to weather saph 4x4 or rwd, or 3door which engine is the best ive been told 4x4 engines are better cause they dont develop piston slap,
all help in making me decide much apreciated
thanx

 

my opinion .. if you are using it every day get a saph dont stand out in a crowd as much as a 3dr if it's an ocasional driver get a 3dr/500 saph is a better drive also for every day as i said this is my opinon ive had 2 4x4 saph's 1 -2wd saph 1-esc cos 2 rs500's witch ever you get good luck mate

 

just the same for me last year.had my s2 for 7 years and decided it was time for a cossy,couldnt afford an escort cos so it was a choice between saph or 3dr.in the end went for a 3dr.as said above if you dont want to stand out so much get a saph,the amount of attension you get in a 3dr is unbelaivable.had to drive mine from south wales and i just couldnt beleive the amount of people looking and pointing.mines been off the road all winter and comes back on the road tomorrow,cant wait.which ever you go for take your time looking,there is a lot of good ones out there and a lot of bad.i was lucky.

 

so if i was to go the saph way, any prefrence on rear and 4x4??? never had rear wheel drive car, had a 4x4.
which woulf be best for speed ? handleing?
if i opted for rs 500, (crowd pleaser) are there any things i shud check for,

 

4x4 handle better and go like fuck of line put 2wd is proper fun
