Ford Escort Cosworth

I have had two of these babies, and I won't bore you all with the performance/handling aspects - suffice to say that the other reviews here are all pretty much bang on. What I think people should be aware of with these cars is the investment needed - not only to buy one, but to keep them on the road. I'll share my experiences of each car: 1994 Lux Model (big turbo) I owned this car from 1997-2000. It was a lux model, but did not have aircon or leather. It did however have elec windows, mirrors, central locking, heated screens etc., which set it apart from the standard model. I paid £19,000 for the car from a Ford RS dealer, and it had covered 20,000 ...  Read the complete review

Hi im Lyndsays patner Pete as she wanted me to write a review ill write one on something i know about and thats cars. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A little history of the legend. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The sierra RS cosworth was the first production turbo powerd ford which caused a huge impact on the world of motor sport from 1985 to 19992 when the last sierra RS cosworth was made. The mk1 sierra RS coswoth had no ABS (Anti Lock Braking) system. It was extremly raw (and somewhat prone to throwing you off the road on corners when the unexpected happens). This car was well known for the huge whale tail boot spoiler that you cant ...  Read the complete review

I've never owned an escort cosworth but it has always been my dream car since I first seen one about 5 years ago. It must be the nicest, most stylish car ever made. I have been in one since then and it just proved my point. If you like driving down B roads at high speed, then this is the car to do it in. It handles like a go-kart, sticks to the road like glue and the four wheel drive system will get you out of trouble nearly every time. The problem is, the car's too good. Someone once told me that when you have an accident in one of these, it's usually a big one. The interior is typical high standard leather and the seats are pretty supportive ...  Read the complete review

There is no doubting the visual impact the Escort Cossie has on people the first time they lay their eyes on it. As with many people, it was love at first sight. I was only 18 years old at the time of its launch and could remember saying to myself that I would be the proud owner of one someday. 8 years on and living in Hong Kong, I am pleased to say that my dream has come true and I am now the proud owner of an 1993 White Lux Model. How I came about to become the owner is another story in itself, suffice to say that luck had played a major part in it the understatement of the year. As expected the car performs and looks the part, Ford had a very ...  Read the complete review

I have been driving now for about 10 years. I am 29 years old and I have just bought my dream car. A Ford Escort Cosworth. I think that this car should be rated as one of the all time greats as there is just not one thing that is wrong with it. Everything is perfect. The spoiler is incredible and the engine noise is just like a growl. There cannot be a sweeter car then this. I paid £17,000 for it. The number plate is Cozzi and it is a dream come true. Just to sit behind the wheel and to rev the engine is just an incredible feeling. I think that this car is a classis. Ford stopped making them about 4 years ago now. I think that this was a big mistake as they ...  Read the complete review
