Are you happy with your car or is it just a step before you get an escos ?
The mrs wants us to get one next year but i fancy throwing some cash at the saph to get around 450 bhp,do love the escos tho' .

Always loved the saph cos especially 4x4 and magenta so this car will be with me for a while, have thought about selling her and the plate and getting an evo but then its starts all over again, I've been pumping money into cars since I was 15 years old and nowadays just want to get the mortgage paid off asap

i depends what you like.i like all the cossie's so for me there is no bad one

Jimboxr4x4

I love the escort cossie but I prefer the saph for some reason. Also you can buy a saph and do a lot to it for the same price as a standard escos.

Loved my Escos to bits but in the back of my mind i always preferred my old Saff

Thats what i thought m8,sell my car and add 10k for an escos or spunk the 10k getting mega power.

big_wig_074

was never a stepping stone for me as the escos is the basement model for me,dont like it much,love sierras though

NUTTIN RILLA

I wont be using the saff as a stepping stone to the escort, altho i love it its just not the same as the saff, i`d rather spend my 15k on an evo 8 tbo, and a very good 8 you would get too

col cos1

iTrader: (5)

totally agree

Stoo

If you've always wanted one it's prob best you get one. You'll always hanker for one. I've had 2 now and would go for a Saff next, purely because I haven't had one and always fancied one...

It's all to do with what YOU want mate. The thought's in your head that you want one and it'll always be there untill you do.

I take the Saph for what it is, a bit of fun!

dovboy

Had four 4x4 Saph's

1st was stage 1 loved it was reliable and give it a hard 7 months worth of use

2nd Smokestone 4x4 saph love dit even more modified to stage 3 then got wrote off

bought a stage 1 malard green Escos was ok never really felt anything towards it

then bought a fully done Stage 3 Radient Red Escos liked it loads, used it all threw summer, found it totally non-practical scared to park it anywhere pain in the arse if ya wanted to carry passengers

sold it to buy a 304-R Rouse Sport Saph l,oved this car more than any whish i'd kept it

Now back in a 4x4 Saph and lovin it again practical, don't feel to worried about parking it anywhere & it owes me half the price of an Escos.

unless an Escos was 400bhp+ and was proper sorted i wouldn't buy another they just not worth the extra ŁŁŁŁŁŁ

would luv an escos

jaimesdna

iTrader: (3)

cant ever see me selling the saff & 10k+ seems alot to spend on a car

andrewg

i'd rather have a mint late sapphire L or M reg. anyone know of any for sale?

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

they are a lot of money on top of the saff and they are a pain in the arse to leave parked up etc....

but.....

they are the ultimate imo.

i started off with the rs2000's mk.2, then the erst m.k2, then the saffs etc...

always wanted the cosworth model...then when i could afford the saff,over 16 years ago then i got one, but i aways looked up to the escorts

they have always been at the top of the list for me.


if you want one get one, then if you don't like it,sell it.

Forget escos - 3 doors are for me!!

pete mcrash

iTrader: (1)

when i got my first cossie i had the money to get an escos............but decided to get a saff.........just like the understated look........dont get me wrong,i'd love a red escos or a white 500.......but think i'd rather sort out the saff..........

robocos

Escos is top of the tree for me although I do own a Sapph. Can't afford an Escos in Oz as they are too expensive.

Each to there own I suppose.

Csm

Escos for looks only and 3 door also, but practical family saloon saph with either rwd or 4x4 and can park it anywhere as it partially blends in and not in your face with the whale-tail shouting steal me steal me

Would love another saph cossie and i do think that 3 doors and escos is truly stunning but couldnt be arsed with scared to park it anywhere mode

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

most are only weekend cars so no need for practicality.

Csm

Aye but its still practicall to park if out and about for a meal or cinema where its left for 2/3 hours in a car park


When i had my cossie it was a toy but i still used it a lot also and even parked it in fookin Paisley when at the bints house before she moved to my area ................. at least i slept at night albeit with one eye open but i bet you couldnt with a 3 door or escos

MK5RST

you will struggle

Bullett

know the feeling.my saff is covered in tiger stripes and my other half used to live in dagenham.not the best place in the world to leave a cossie .we live together now in colchester.would love a white rs500 but they are so pricey and hard to find a good one that i dont think it will happen for many years

Lo@der

iTrader: (8)

If I wrote off my saff it would suck, but its not the end of the world as the shells (even mint ones) aren't worth a wank really .
If i wrote off an escos/or 3dr its a 2-3k shell now if its clean.

I own a saff because thats what i want. If i wanted the hassle of a big power escos then I would.

dovboy

and if you lwant big power you need to spend as much on drivetrain as your saff is worth! or more!!

I'm happy with mine, not going to change anything on it now.

Has stavros, commented on your sig yet?

PSL

I love my Saph, and would only change it for an older car like a 3 door or a MK1/MK2 Escort RS2000.

I like the retro feel, and an Escos or RS Focus would be going in the wrong direction for me.

Csm

so kev .......................... what you doing ?? escos or jizz some wedge on the saph ???

Tell me im a nosey cunt

Ridgey

iTrader: (5)

Escos isn't the pinacle, 3dr is IMO.

Thats why i bought a 3dr as my first cossie (low mileage white one that's now Maxest's).

Bought the Saff as i wanted cheap 2wd cossie to use and not be worried about bending a panel on a trackday and it costing an arm and a leg to fix.

So mine is not a step to escos and will be staying for a long time.
Would love another 3dr now i have the space to keep 2 cossies and 2 daily cars.

Nosey cunt I'm more likely to throw the cash at the saph if i'm being honest .
