I almost always get a comment from someone at the petrol station about the car, and when at traffic light, a nod of the head or a comment. I even had a lad hanging out of the window taking pics with his mobile.
And it seems to be peole of all ages too, even old boys walking their dogs take a second look. Ive had a couple walk past while ive been outside cleaning it, stop for a chat about the car.
I would say, VERY few cars are given respect like a cosworth.

No matter what some people say, these cars do get respect from petrol heads to old grannies

Absolutly LOVE seeing cossies about, always look at them till they are out of sight.. Mainly because I am Enthusiastic about them!
ive owned one, know what goes into keeping them on the road let alone in
such good nick!!
yes there are SOOO many mis-beliefs about Cossies,
and a lot of younger people definitly dont know what a 3dr cossie is even.
I would Still absolutly love an Esc cos, and was infact talking to my dad
about buying one last night..
so when i see a cossie (sad maybe but i dont care)
you just find yourself sayin to your mate 'cossie over there look' lol
and its the same for me with RSTs as well.!

Thing is you dont see all that many cosworths about and when you do its automatically turning your head. With subarus and most jap cars is there so common, especially the impreza's. RST went the same way, become popular and see more youngsters driving them and generally there rot buckets also
When i had my sapph cos 4x4, several times peeps would come up to ya and in perticular had a fit bird as to take a photo of it whilst i was filling up at a shell garage And another bloke stopped at a junction and commented about it and he must of been in his 50's

and to be honest ur not throwing away money its like ur girlfriend ur telling me you wouldnt spend money on your girlfriend you must be a lonely man and anyways a toyota celica as i see in your pic is no match for a escort cossie
anyways cossie are great cars no matter wut they started of the 80s with a bang and are still ruling the streets
japs look and fear we jus laugh
i love being a cossie owner its a great ride and good fun to

er i disagree mate,not just cos you have a jap car because i actually like alot of them,but because the escos is so far from being a normal mk5 escort its unbeliveable.and imo any cosworth is just that...a cossie not a sierra or escort.two totally different worlds mate.

Your the one on the Ford site looking at all the so called rusty Fords with frocks on!!!!!
Sorry, but anyone who thinks its just an escort with a frock and rust, knows nothing about cars.
As for your question, exactly what PT said.
I have nothing against jap cars and i actually quite like the GT4's. I would have assumed you know a little bit about cars, owning a gt4, but obviously not.
I bet your one of the jap owners that see a cosworth and look away pretending not to look.

i found when driving the cosworths that it was the 3 door that got the looks ,closely followed by the escort,i have a good looking saff that gets looks but most saffs i see are sheds at the mo,that should change in the next few years as even the saffs are become rare.
but a gt4 owner ripping an escos owner for it being a mk5 with a spoiler
the celica gt4 just looks like it has a baking try welded to the bonnet with a loo roll taped to the side of it

I had a reasonable budget to get a nice performance motor and even though you can get a much younger Evo / scooby / GT4 etc for less money than a cossie I looked at all the options and still choose the cossie as its got a presence that I don't feel with anything else.

I would comment on the above but i cant be arsedSo why are you on a Ford site then, if you hate them that much? And i notice youve been in the Escort Cosworth room too. Oh sorry i forgot, you dont like them do you, you just went in the room to tell us how rubbish they are.

Escort cossies still go for at least double the price of a GT4 of the same age. The cossie is a much more sort after car.
I'm sure the GT4 is a nice enough motor but it ain't a cossie. Ask anyone to name a fast motor from the 90s and I don't think the celica would be in the top ten IMHO.

i think he brought this on him self posting shit like that on a ford site ,BUT to be fair i dont like to slate any performance car in any price bracket as they all have good points and bad.
any petrol head worth his salt would like an escort cosworth and nowt realy wrong with the gt4 either,it has rally pedigree after all.
anything up to 400bhp with the cosworth and i think most peaple into fords would go for the escort,anything around 500bhp+ and its down to personal Preference as the costs to do this take you into escort cosworth money and beyond.
