Okay looked for a thread regarding this and I'm curious!

I own a Series 1 Rs turbo. But would love a 3 door Cossie or Sapph.

Now there must be a lot of you guys who have owned a majority of RS'S

What is your favourite RS of all time?

S1 RS? 3dr Cos? ESCOS?

Post up a reason why as well

RS200 - because its is a road based missile! Add to this to the fact that most people have no idea what so ever what it can do! I would be just about as good as it gets to take something like that round Scotland's cost .... fast A road to the windy b roads and little traffic.... heaven on earth?

cossiejay

for me it has to be a mk2 rs 2000 the first rs i ever owned,had a signal yelleow,signal red,black and salmon pink

PileOfRust

Rs3100 Capri... Amazing looking car!

steviecossie

Escos for me

Escort Cosworth, the last true RS.

Though I've never owned one, I'm curious myself how people say there not as good as you think, Sapphs and 3dr's are better

Would love a go of one, never been in one...

I've only driven one RS, which many believe is not deserving of the badge. Mk6 RS2000. So I have no experience of how good or bad the others are to drive. No matter. For me, the 3 door Cosworth is the best. It is the one I would love to own.

HarryRS

Exactly how I feel, would love to have the option of driving them all.

That way you can give your opinion on what you think is best

Going on looks for me it would be either the S1/Escos or 3Dr

All cars are personal choice. I dont like the Escort Cosworth , think a white 3 door is the best looking RS ever but would own a rwd Saff as the best driver. Im sure all RS's have their own fans you need to drive them & decide on power level for your usage. If you want an RS to drive as a modern car then look at the new range. I expect an RS200 for instance would really be showing its age now & not the be all & end all of performance cars. Its called progress.

I have a S2 and it's great fun!

Would love an escos though, gonna have one in a wee while!

Escos with out a a doubt, I'm glad I met my hero!

Bungle

Not driven one but I'd love an escos converted to 2wd drove 2 and 4wd saphs and prefer 2wd with escos looks lol saph is a close second though

I have been really lucky and most of my mates have let me drive their cars to give me a wider opinion as I have only owned these rs models saphs,rs16i,rs31 capri and rs2k 4x4 so I can compaire, for me its a sierra 3dr may not drive as good as a saph but its looks soon overcome that when you stand back and look at it, way too many saphs around and although I admire work put into these vehicles by their owners I would never want to own one again

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Think my fav RS was my 4x4 Saff Cossie...the presence and attention it got was unreal. I still think they are awesome looking cars

gjh

I think I'd pick an escort cossie, or a mk2 RS1800

Fury RS

Loved my S1 I owned back in the early 90's, on my 3rd Sapph at present, great car but to me it will always be the 3dr Cosworth, came close to buying one in the past a couple of times but it never happened. Think the 3dr still looks outrageous but looks just so right, even with just 204 bhp it seemed so quick back in 86', was lucky enough to be a passenger in a nice moonstone one owned by my mates father a number of times back then.
Still want one...

Rallye Sport - for me then it must be the mk2 escort Rs2000.

Mk 5 Rs2000................
Best driving (of those that I've driven) rwd saph.
My favourite, probably a erscort Mk 3 rs (S1/rs16i) or 3dr with 500 exterior bits.

uruk hai

I would have to go with either an RS3100 Capri or a MK2 Escort RS1800 !

For Cossies late spec 4wd Saff with AC, leather, electric roof.... Apart from that I love the way my Mk2 Focus RS does everything well in std trim and then you do a few mods and it brings it alive.

Old skool for me is the Mk2 Mexico..

Radiant/Rosso red S2 RS Turbo

White RS500 or 3DR......................

More opinions needed as to why you would choose your favourite Rallye Sport!

Looks/Power what are your preferences guys?

I always wanted the escort Cosworth when I was younger,just thought they looks the dogs...which they do.

The 3 doors look good too however I prefer 4x4 drivetrain to 2wd, so the escort gets my vote.

daz1968

I really like the mk1 escorts either twin cam or rs1600 would be my choice if money no object, other than that I love my 3 door, I always like cars that are built for a reason in Motorsport, the newer rs cars are purely road cars where older ones are more raw and no compromises made for road. Which is why for newer cars I have had to change brand and would say evo or jdm Subaru floats my boat.

jamest8

Escort cosworth, S1, RS500, RS200, mk1 & mk2 escort RS2000..... Like them all but the ecos is wicked!

2wd saph.
3dr cossie.
Mk2 Focus rs.

They are all really good but are we saying best as stabdard or best modified etc

booner999

Has to be the Escort Cosworth, RWD.
Just couldn't bring myself to the age of a 3 dr.

Money no object, RS500 with 500 BHP in black

Java=Blue

S2 in Red,- Because iv always liked them, they look the nuts, have wanted one from age 13, and red is my favourite colour

Just think they look perfect in every way

Rossy43

Standard trim. 500 or 200.

Java=Blue

My above opinion was based on what the RS stands for and the older cars like mk2 RS2000,s were that truely in there own right and still are rallying competetively amongst other RS,s of course.I,m torn between saphs and 3 doors , more towards a saph nowdays
I wouldn't mind a mint white Sierra RS 500 that guy with number 1 was very good looking car.

SMILER258

Top of the range 4X4 Saff Cossie with all the toys for me, just because I love my Sierras

swansjw

deffo capri rs3100 the car i always wanted

Escos for me,closely followed by a series one.
I appreciate the old ones but I just think the escos was the pinnacle,looked the bollox with a propper engine too.
I have to keep myself from looking at escos shells to put my 4x4 bits in all the time as it would end my relationship!!!

I'd love a rs1600i mk3

Because its a proper homoligation car that I probably will be able to afford one day lol.

Lots of trick extra little bits that make them quite special.

Maxwell

Im pretty sure there is no such thing as an RS3100 capri...or a jps capri that people claim they have!!

The best RS is an RS1600i escort mk3

Darylc.

iTrader: (1)

RS3100 Capri for me, purely because it's a capri

I do have a soft spot for the mk6 rs2000 though. The RS1600i is up there too.


RS3100 Capri...
