Top car, the problem is with them is there are loads of upgrades for them and you allways want some new and uprated part so you end up spending loads.
Just like what i have done about 35k + but its only money "eh right".

Really thinking about this myself,would love one,but a Focus RS is looking very tempting. need a daily driver,and am struggling to justify spending 13-15k on a decent Escos that could be 8-12 years old and cost a bloody fortune to run,whereas for a bit more dosh i can get a 8-12 MONTH old Focus that is still under warranty! Tough one,heart says Escos cos they are cool as fuck,but my 31 year old head says Focus...

Small turbo escorts like mine are very cheap and cost effective to run, the fact that mine hasn't left the garage for 6 weeks helps!!!!
lol

You lucky git! I've been looking for an Imperial Blue one for over a year.

I've got an imp one too... and I've never regretted it.
The cossie rocks. Just make sure you get a large turbo. You might not care now but you will when everything goes past ya.

Proper cars but a serious money pit, as has been said you WILL spend a shit load of money on it, no matter what you said before hand.
