how do 3 door sierra.s drive compared to the escort?

[broome]

hi all, i just wanted peoples opinions on what the sierra 3 door is like to drive compared to the escort as ive never had the chance to go in one let alone drive one..

[AJC]

I find the seating position better. Seats probably in same place as the escort but its the position of the wheel etc that make them lot more comfy to drive.

IMO 2wd saff best Cossie to drive

[Gray_rs]

They are better to drive I would say 4x4 saff is the best to drive

[bigpower]

My RS500 is thee best Cosworth ive driven!

Just seemed a better cabin to be in and the seating position was more comfy


Love escys for everything else tho!!!

+1

[dan the escort man]

Thy drive better than an escort IMO

[Cochyn]

RWD Focus is even better

But the 3door feels more planted than an Escos IMO.

[RS 500 Registrar]

The 3 door is a very nice car to drive

far batter than any escoss

I have to admit that the 2wd saff is a touch better tho

I always felt like your sat to high in an escort, but then sit on a focus and you will love the escort again.

The seating position and the location of the wheel and gear stick in a Saph 2wd (not the adjustable 4x4 type) or 3 dr is the best for me out of any car I have driven, and I drive loads of different cars every day.

Well all the 3 doors iv driven are shit but as said 2wd Saph
Is good car to get the ass out and keep it safe

[broome]

its this geezers fault i keep looking at them, it takes me back to when i saw one in the carpark whilst sitting in my dads cortina!!!...ha ha when the boom comes again id like to have one in my garage, defo in white!... its like the escort thou, you cant really test drive them to get a feel as no,one will let you have a go!...saying that i didnt even drive the escort & i brought it.... still dont know why i didnt test drive it, think i was that excited & it looked good enough to me..

[Dave]

I bought mine without test driving it too

IMO
3dr is bigger than the ESCOS and feels to be more comfortable( spring set up) than the Escort. It has better luggage capability compared to the Saph and superior luggage space compared to the escort. MK1 Dash is old and dated and can look quite tatty with the usual plastic cracks.
It is far better for passengers than the Escort but not as good as the Saph.
The 3 dr and the Escort are more rigid than a Saph but both the 3 dr. 2wd Saph and 4x4 Saph have much better rear end handling characteristics due to the extra length and feel more stable.
BUT I would say the best all rounder if you can handle the aged look is the Saphire. Its the best car for every day driving Ive ever had, it just doesn't have the looks or street cred of as ESCOS. Dry weather all standard cars , good tyres etc the 3 dr will walk away from a 4X4 Saph and ESCOS.
In the wet or poor road surface I believe the 4x4 will leave the Escos perhaps not in acceleration but sure footedness ....the 3dr will be a small hand full.
