Default so what would you go for....

I've always been a fan of the Escort cossie, but since seeing a fw 3drs my opinion seems to be changing and I quite fancy a 3dr.

My question is what would you opt for and why?

Ive had both, and still have my 3dr as I prefer RWD, but would have another Escos.

Thats a really hard one. I love both cars but for me it would have to be the escort cossie. I think they are a lovely lookin car.

i've loved the escos always, it was only until a 3dr was sat next to one it made me see how much character the old 3dr had. They're simple yet aggressive. Tough one

Big question is how much money do you have to spend i guess as say 12k would get you a lovely 3door but you would need to spend more to get a equal condition escos

without a doubt as you rightly say, 12k would get you a spot on 3dr, but an ok escos. But in terms of looks what would it be
