What is the handling like on an Escort RS turbo?
Never driven one myself, but what is the handling like, what improvements should be made? The Datapost Escort RS turbo went pretty well didn't it?
Thanks for input.

To make a series 2 handle..
hard work.. and expensive
But compared to what?
I thought my series 2 was ok for what it was, handled better than my 16i and as expected for a car original desinged to have 70 bhp.
Depends what your comparing it to.

True- they are no EVO - but stick a set of Koni's and decent poundage springs, strut brace & polybushed, decent brakes and Roberts your mums brother.
If they handled like a go kart they wouldn't be as much fun imo

As above, be prepared to spend a good amount on adjustable kit to be able to dial something decent out of them. I had the standard koni's and polybushes and it was still pretty shit. I thought it was OK at the time. Then I drove an escort cossie
I really am trying to avoid driving an EVO for the same reason
