hello there i am looking to get a sierra cosworth next and wanted to know which would the best one to get the 4x4 or the rwd i currently drive a 1.6 zetec escort i know its a big jump but its time to do it i dont want anything past stage 1 just wanted to know which one

a few people say 4x4 as more traction

few people say rwd less to fix if brake and alot better to drive than the 4x4

hope someone can help cheers

Depends what you want it for.

Id prefer RWD.

had both,....love rwd,...but after smashing one into a lamppost at 60 mph, i prefer 4wd

i want it for everyday use n twice on the weekend n maybe a bit of fun now and again

i don't think 2wd is a nicer drive at all, but definitely can handle more power and are quicker.

4x4 transmission is the big downside on them,anything over stage 3 and it's about to break

if 300bhp is enough for you then go 4x4,or if you want nearly 400bhp have my 2wd

Carlsworth

no such thing,...

a daily driver will end up getting blitzed everywhere....well, in my experience its very hard not to,....

will end up either breaking, or costing a fortune to run/maintain

pmsl i first was looking at the 4x4 less to go wrong when driving and it is possible iv seen people do it just means u dont race round everywhere which i dont want i just want a basic one to start me off and once got used to the power and so on then tune and play

I dont recommend a cossie for everyday use unless you have a large wallet! Filling them with fuel all the time at £50+ per tank isn't much fun

As for RWD...if you have no experience then be mega careful because they can bite you back HARD if you fuck up

Good luck!

we use ours daily but it doesnt get booted everywhere, however they are pretty expensive to run daily.... doesnt seem to break very often though

hi mate,

i have a 450bhp saff and thats a handfull in the wet as well. its nice to drive and grips well but the gearboxes are definately made of chocolate. cant vouch for driving a 2wd but i went out in warleydaddys old 3dr and that was very quick.

if you want a 2wd then buy bud weis saff. mint car

I have used 3 different ones in the past as daily drivers-1 rwd and 2 4x4 ,buy wisely and it wont cost you an arm and a leg to run-far from it, buy a dog and you will regret it as it will take all your money.
My last 4x4 had 80,000 miles and a rebuilt engine however the turbo still expired and that wasn't cheap to replace. The one before had 40,000 miles and never missed a beat- i was heartbroken to sell it to be honest -buy the best you can and if you have ANY doubts walk away as there will be others

The amount of people that ask this question !!!

Its totally down to individual preferene. Do as i did and test drive both

I went for the 4x4 but one point i will make is that they are slow standard compared to the RWD. However if stage 3 theres nothing in it.

If you find a good 4x4 or RWD that has already been proffesionaly modded to stg3 then you could save £'sssssss. As i found out

gingeRS

i just bought a 4x4 cos it had all the toys

the only downside to the 4x4 is the boxes are weaker, and they feel slower than an equivalent 2wd.

definately try and buy one thats already stage 3, saved me a fortune.

but most of all, buy wisely, spend as much as you can, and walk away if you are not happy for any reason theres plenty of them out there

whats your budget?

thanks matey, nice of you to say
