PassionFord Post Whore!!
i crashed my first saph that i payed £3.5 k for
i have since reshelled and spent at least another £3k
worth every penny
fun to drive and fast aim of the game i had a mint race with a TVR350
you cant say stock to a cossie owner
bit like saying whay have you spent all that money on a bean tin
could have at least got a decent pic instead of a stevie wonder photoshop effort

So has anybody given a serious alternative to the Cossie yet then?
Closest I've heard so far is the Pulsar/Sunny and the Evo.
Fiat Coupe and MR2 are both sports cars not saloon cars so aren't really in the same catagory are they?

Dave,
You still havent explained the shit sunglasses in your mag feature... you should've gone to spec savers..
And talking of spec savers, super car looks?
Its a FIAT Fucked In A Tick, Fix It Again Tomorrow
And before you say it, yes, i know that Fiat owns Ferrari..

fiat's are just as bad looking as saphs, and do you know how much it cost to service one.
dont think you have a clue personally
also have your cars are completely impractical for most people, i.e have 2 seat or no boot! i.e MR2, fiat is 2+2 and no boot.
Oh and you comparing a mint 60k saph to a ropy old scooby or GTIR thats been thrashed every day of its chocolate life.
People brought saph coz they were practical fast car, all the others are toy meant for thrashing!

you see a nice 20vturbo come past you all polished up mate especially at night they look gorgeous and will turn heads, a fuckin saph wont, unless they are fat and bald when i said catergory i meant 220ishbhp cars for around 5grand
come on i dare one of you to admit as standard you have ugly overpriced sheds,
i can admit i own a shite mk4 escortwhich i have wasted too much money on when there are plenty of better cars, you live and you learn

No-ones mentioned the 200SX Nissan yet - in my mind the only competitor
sunny GTIR, Celica GT4 and Scoob - are 4wd
Fiat Coupe - FWD
MR2 Turbo - Have you driven one??? Utter uncontrollable sh*t...
200SX is only one in price range with RWD and limited slip diff.
Saph's are more plentiful and easier to tune though.....

Yes, my car isnt the best looking car in the world, it will not win any competitions in that department, but what you're failing to realise is that i really couldnt give a flying fuck what it looks like. If you dont like it, then great, it means i can safely say to people when i come to sell it that you've never owned one and dropped my resale value by thousands as a result, so please, keep comparing my car to a Fiat, it'll only make my car worth more

i have a Vreg 1.4 fiesta
thats my reliability
do you have one car and drive it everyday ?
i bet you a lot of saph drivers dont
you are blinkered if you think that ppl only buy a car for YOUR reasons
my fiesta is my runabout my saph is my fun car
and if you didnt read my reply before SAPHS ARE AT LEAST 10 YEARS OLD AND YOU DONT FIND THEM STOCK ANYMORE
how many scooby drivers, evo drivers, gtir drivers have that car as there second fun car
not many
i know a few cossie drivers on here that have small cars or even big cars or even spiky and his scooter as there daily drivers
there are more things to consider than your measly arguments
everyone has there own opinion
i think my saph is the best and so what
i would race anythign that came along not much kept up

It is odd that people think that Saph drivers are fat and bald when you and Popeye own them...

OH AND AN MR2 HAS A BOOT
Thing is OUT OF THE BOX - is irrelevant. All of these cars are so old that none are standard, so that argument is irrelevant.
I am on my first performance Ford, and looked at all of the options and Cossies represent best value for what they are.
Looked at 200SX's, E30 M3 BM's and the like - Not a huge fan of the looks of a Saph, but if my budget had been lower, I still would have gone for it.

I love my Sapphire but i aint blinkered the only good thing over others cars is the engine/box...........Escos's are ok..but i dont think there any better than a Saff plus Dave owns one 3dr's are not nice imo...but again its the engine.
I bought a Saff to get into the cheap world of Cosworth as looking around the jap stuff appeared too complex mechanically......
Out of the box if your looking at Sapphire prices and going on std these ARE the order to buy them (imo ) in if you just want a runner and no tuning:
1....Celica GT4
2....FTO
3....Imprezza
4....Sapphire
5....Pulsar
Bare in mind NO TUNING before the cocks come on and say they are shit when they own a bean tin ............if tuning is your game...Cossie wins hands down for not only power per pound but relative simple mechanics.

only city wankers with no clue about cars and americans buy Tiptronics.
Hark at you in your photoshopped white £2K shed
Who gives a toss what the likes of you think?
Come back when you get a clue..
ps Not a Saff owner so I am unbiased anyway

200sx is the way forward though for the money. The newer shape ones that look pony as standard but great with just a set of wheels and lowered. Cool cars and make an easy 300bhp, relaible, tunable, RWD and a bit different!
John felstead took me around the Ring in his. Cool car, very fast as well!
Saffs are great for performance per pound if you get a good one and can be practical as well, but I would rather have the 200sx or the Fiat. Sorry

S14a 200SXs like Porkie mentioned, go in a modded one, they the bollocks IMO too.
Got 2 friends with them. Exhaust, filter, intercooler, 1bar boost, they go some
Can pick up a late 90s one for 5k with pretty low miles, pretty mint, and a really nice full leather interior.
Look awesome when lowered, put on 18s, and any orange indicators binned.
Not too bad to tune either.
S14As tho, not S14s, as they have gay front lights etc...

lost all respect for me, what for telling the truth, its like me saying my s2s are the best i nailed an r32 the other night, ive got 15grand tied up in mine, what a waste!!!! at least i can admit this everyone replying are proving my point!!!! like that statement 1986 thats my point and they are still 4-5grand, why when you can buy a newer nicer car for the same price? I love fords i really do and i didnt put this up just to piss people off, it is a honest evaluation made over several year of observations....... if you think im wrong just look at the replies if had in this post......go figure
