i guess it depends on how much money you want to spend, Ł15000 or Ł5000 /Ł6000, i bought a sierra cossie as i like them better, but it comes down to personal taste, andplus i coudnt justify spending a good 15k on an escos.

its like asking whats better, right arm or left arm

think about who and what they were made for when they were new that will help you decide on which one you might like a bit more than the other

it just didn't feel right talking about 2 cossies in such a way without reminding everyone about how truely fantastic Evo's are, and why waste keyboard strokes talking about 2 shitty Fords when we could be having a group w@nk over Japans finest

anyway Escort for me everytime still looks wicked today, and I can't believe a 4x4 Saph out handles an Escos after all thats why Ford made the escort because the saph wasn't competitive, wasn't it??

They are talking shit I'm afraid, having owned everything except a 3 door, I can safly say an Escort handles a LOT better than a saff. Still all great cars though

Better?

Surely it's got to be the Escort? newer, better looking (by a mile) mind you I do love the look of 3 doors.. hmm

I've had a couple of saphs in my time and enjoyed them but if I'd had the money at the time I'd certainly had bought an Escort. The day I had enough to buy an escort cossie there were better things to spend that sort of money on.
