Cars are all personal taste Nick, for me the old Fords just scream pikey, chav, Essexy boy racer. Thats just me and its probably an incorrect opinion. I just dont see the appeal of older Fords, just look too tatty imo.

thats exactly what i think too.

granted ford have a Pedigree, but so does audi.

personally i'd rather push a VW than drive a ford, but like alan's said its down to personal taste.

[AlanD]

YEEEE HAAA !!! 

personally i'd rather push a VW than drive a ford

lol  Quality !

[Agreeable Slick]

as of the 90s all the fords were shat. Only now are the ford badge redeeming themselves with the STs.

as of the 90s all the golfs were shat. Only now are the VW badge redeeming themselves with the GTi.

look like a familiar trait anyone?

I'm not knocking personal taste and I agree that Audis have heritage too. But the scrote is motoring legend up there with the original mini, the Audi Quattro etc etc. I just felt the need to stick up for them a bit as blue ovals get a bit of pasting on here. To be fair ford haven't really built a decent car since the early 90's so most younger folks have no idea how good they used to be.

I have miused recently that the praie the MKV has had in the press has rekindled joe publics love of the Glf GTi. Up until the MKV the GTi had somewhat fallen out of favour with a succesion of ars that were good, but not as good as they should have been. Ford seem to think the Focus ST will do the same for them but frankly it's a bit to vulgar to really pull it off.

Anyhoo I waffle. Back to MKIV prices!

i quite agree on that one. not to mention relyability.

However no one can argue that the cosworth engine isnt gud n to say the least.

  you would hope so too being a VW forum. 

those car's are classics though, it's just a shame that quite often they get ruined by chav's and boy racers

[Horney]

To be honest Boy Racers and Chav's wouldn't touch a MKI or MKII escort as its rear wheel drive and they don't know what that means so it scares them. Alsoyou can't buy parts for them in Halfords and they don't come on 20 years interest free credit from a local dealership.

To be completely honest you'll probably find that the number of CHav's in fords and Dubs is probably about the same. You see some aweful Golfs about all the time.
