Escort Cosworth VS NEW focus RS
(I’m not sure why but hey ho, I thought I’d settle it once and for all: ;D)

1) The new Focus RS looks better , miles better as it looks like the WRC car
I agree but I still think the Escort Cos is a top motor

2) New focus RS is faster

Again it will be on a std v std basis

3) You don’t have to TIP TOE around fearing bits will fall off

Maintaining an Escort or Sapph cossie properly is not cheap and people buy a shitbox example and then struggle to maintain hence the repeated breakdowns, or even shoddy car tuners causing the problems.

4) Most escort are ROTTEN

I disagree, almost every escort cos I have seen has been looked after, the same is not true of sapphs, I think this is due to them starting at £1500+ v the Escorts £10,000+ Price reflects condition.

5) Escorts are respected by CHAVS who also nick them

disagree, chavs can drive or steal anything. In fact a s2 RS Turbo is as chavvy, if not more than an escort cos.

6) The engineering is 20 years old and my 330 Beemer will eat it alive

Agree. BMW make top notch cars reflected by high end prices.

OK OK there is a serious point to all this….. I think a lot of FORD RS owners live in the past (just MO). They need to wake up and realise escorts and serrias are old, badley engineered usually look laughable (In todays world) and are repected by the wrong people.
IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON , step away from granddads’ run about (no offense intended)

I think Subaru owners have the SAME illness they prefer the classic shape to ANYTHING else and are stuck in the past. The truth of the matter is company’s like SUBARU and FORD have won new ‘serious’ customers with cars like the ST and the new WRX STI.
Guess im fed up of the same old story, unless its got ‘500bhp 4x4 a roll cage, nitrous a bass box in the boot.. it must be shit’

You forgot to add Evo owners into your deluded group, lots seem to prefer the 6 to the rest. oh & your beloved BMW owners of which your one, some of them think the E30 M3 was the best M3 ever.
What are we all thinking ?? Newer must mean better.

That quite an iron statement from someone who has a 1.8 RS turbo series 2 in his signature

I never expected such ridiculous and arrogant statements from a Escort owner, thought you had to be a beemer driver to have your head up your arse,, ohh you are
That explains a so much, I understand the perspective of someone who has paid over the odds for a car with the build quality of a Lexus

Wouldn't gamble anything vital on that mate. A BMW 330Ci couldn't outpace my chipped Audi A4 and that certainly wouldn't eat a Cossie

Not entirely sure what sort of a reaction you thought you would get as most of your comments are missinformed at best and just complete bollocks at worst.


As for the chav comments I doubt most chavs would know what one was as unless it's a Saxo with Lexus lights and a PowerFlow exhaust they aren't interested
