plus cheaper to fix maintain

What a stupid topic, they arent in the same league.
Saph:
Rwd coolness
Unbreakable (for fast road use) transmission
Mega strong engine that can make huge power
Easily tuneable management
Decent leather interior
ERST:
FWD gayness
Transmission made of chocolate
Engine thats suffers from asthma
Horrible MFi or hard to remap EFi management
Distinctly average trim

Seriously though, RSTs' are good cheap cars for under Ł2000, but anything over that and you can pick up a half decent RWD saff that will be so much better than any poxy RST.... The only things RST's are good for is a nice exhaust note, and they look nice, very very dissapointing to drive IMHO
... Any decent cossie is a joy to drive, so much nicer

i find the saff a bit predictable where the escort was always a handfull, had more road action with the escort than the saff ... no one wants to play
but mega cheap insurance is the clincher .. saff it is

Note the phrase HALF DECENT 
.... as long as the engine and box are good, who gives a shit about the bodywork? ... Quite a few saffs in the 2-3k bracket that are perfectly usable

Just keep your eyes open, they are around, Ebay and the like is a waste of time as muppets get thier mates to bid them up, check the local rags , and don't forget that a Ł3000 saff is easily Ł2500 with cold hard cash and a good haggling style ... And Ł2k is the lowest I have seen for a MOT'd running saff, just saying that they are out there in the 2-3k price bracket.

Don't wanna 6k launch it and the rear beam come off the rear end
I wouldnt pay 3k for a cossie, asking for trouble IMO

I always found my S2 more fun upto 100mph as well as more fun on short blasts here and there and the cossie lots more fun above 100mph and longer blasts 
It's just nothing on the cossie is less than Ł100 to fix
