That was the weights roughly I had in mind. Remember reading about 1200kg for saff in some literature a few months back.

Would be useful to know though.

I reckon a 2wd saph is about 1275kg, 4x4 a little heavier.

I seem to recall an escort is over 1300kg

Depends on what Escort and what mods are fitted to it .

A late model EECIV with aircon is the heaviest (side impact bars, twin airbags etc).

My car's wet weight with fuel is 1419kg. However, I can get this down to 1385Kg by removing MDF shelf, spare wheel and tool kit.

Larger than standard wheels and brakes add a significant amount of weight.

My Sapphire weighed 1275Kg with spare wheel removed and half tank of fuel.

None of these weights include driver.

my old ANZ CAR was 1130 kilos wet without driver inc some fuel

but my new merc is 980 kilos wet

four wheel drive is the most and if you start adding bits like big diffs ect an escort will see 1400 kilos
