my 325Ci with 189bhp, isnt bad really. its a fair bit slower then my 200bhp S2 that I had b4 naturally, but it makes up the ground at the top end.

good for an indicated 150mph any day of the week

328i's arent slow, good engine, alot of people say the 3.0 M3 is better than the 3.2 version

Not as fast as my Cossie was but not far off if u know what I mean, different type of power

Cossie= Assault on ya senses,Neck Breaking Acceleration

M3 = Nice smooth Power Curve, Pushes You Along

Bit stronger after 100 as well than the Cos

But the luxury etc, Saff just wasnt in the same league mate

Petrol Consumption is great considering 3.0 Straight six, 120 mile of £20 round the doors

Would love a standard Escort Cossie, but even with a standard one , ya still gonna get more little niggly problems with it , than I`ll ever get with the M -Power.(ie, oil leaks etc), I just dont think I could be doing with all the hassle u get with them.When I sold the saff, I always said I would have another one sum day but now Im not so sure mate, I like getting in the car and knowing it wont break.The looks of an Escort on my driveway would soon wear off Im afraid , just like they did with the saff,they impress everyone else but after a while there just a fast sierra/escort, u must know where Im coming from mate.

I love the Cossies but theres definately better out there for us young people, IMO Cossies should be for blokes who have paid their mortgage etc....and just need something to waste money on and pass the time away, thats my opinion but Im sure people will disagree.

Do you ever have days when ya RS is in ya garage in bits and you just cant stand the fuckin site of it, I bet u do, well I just got sick,

Thanks for listening

"Hell of a lot of car for the money you can get one for"
