Here's the Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 compared against what some people call the French Cosworth, in this case the Quadra version. The Renault 21 Turbo Quadra

Thanks for sharing it. Although I did find this one already on the Flickr link I posted up. There are quite a few reviews on there as well.

Mike1

Ah right, never really looked at the links close enough

Anyway, 4x4 Sapphire vs GT Four and Integrale 16v

And another review that chooses the Cosworth over the Lancia as best handling. A shame that overall they choose the Lancia over the Sapphire. Apparently the Cossie interior looked cheap, but to me the Lancia interior looks very old and outdated, even by 1990 standards.

Different road testers like different qualities as always I guess


Here's a group test of the Sapphire 4x4 vs the Ala 155Q4, Cavalier Turbo and Audi 80 2.8E Quattro

And another nice one!

- there's loads of others Marc. The Sapphires got compared to lots of cars - they had practicality as well as great handling back when they were new and standard.

Of course, everyone knows now they're just based on an old Sierra ........

So the cossie is better than the audi eh.

Mike1

It got tested alongside some strange choices didn't it.
The Cavalier Turbo and Alfa I can see why....the Audi seems a different sort of car
