As there were only 2 choices I picked Saab to see the results.

But in all honesty I would look completely out of place in a convertable, and I am not a fan of FWD but the Saab looks classier than the Ford and in most cases I reckon Saab had better reliability.

Has to be the saab. Have had escorts of various marks in the past and only recently got to drive a saab because my stepson sells them (along with some v.nice vx cars, including Monaro) and have to say was q.impressed. Just hope that in current climate his job is still secure!

I went for the Saab simply because it's a GM / Cavalier type product with a better public perception to the Ford. (Saab badge IMHO has a better image).

I suppose the other thing to keep in mind is the age of the driver because different age groups will have different views.

A mate of mine bought a Saab turbo convertible recently (03 plate iirc)
been for a drive in it and was completely underwhelmed,no low down power/torque,had to rev the nuts off it to make it go and then it was quite harsh,also not that comfy and the interior has acres of cheap looking plastic.

With the possible exception of the Mk1 RS turbo B or C reg (white lightning) all fwd Escorts were wink. Awful handling, gearchanges that were worse than an Austin Maxi & build quality of an Allegro. CVH engine stood for:- Coarse, Vibratory & Harsh
   Best thing about them was they rusted away quickly. ::)

Glad to know i'm in the majority...

Wife would have chosen the other one though!

If truth be known, i was looking for a 9000 turbo when i found my Mig..and still fancy one.

Its a no brainer for me, but based on nothing more than the fact every escort I have ever driven, I've crashed.

No desire to look like a woman, I'll have a car with a tin roof.
Though I wouldn't have the saab either, never liked them.

If I HAD to have one I'd be torn  :-/

Probably go for the Ford - better resale value I reckon

Jaime you are the only person on here with any sense other than me I mean :y
