some may think Im mad, but Ive sold my MK2 RS2000. it was the right time market wise, and its gone to someone else who will enjoy it.

Anyway, Im now in the market for another fast Ford, but one that's a bit more useable.

My heart says Series 1 Escort RS Turbo, but that would probably put me back to square 1, having to carefully curate it, and being terrified to take/leave it anywhere.

Ive always had a soft spot for Fiesta's, and was looking at XR2i's a while ago, so I know about them being utter rotboxes, but Im seriously thinking about a Fiesta RS Turbo. on the face of it they seem a better bet than the Escort, a bit newer, and EFi instead of bosch injection, but what are peoples opinion of them as an overall package ( apart from the awful 3 spoke alloys, what else will fit them ?) and what's to look out for when buying. are there any other viable contenders ?

thanks
