The Sierra was sold before I could get the money together but after that drive in it I think I'm sold. The owner is a Cosworth expert who imports Cosworth cars and parts from the U.K very regularly so I think I'll pay him a visit when I get my act together. Thanks for the warning anyway.

I like the Liberty RS but I heard the turbo can get very laggy. The Cosworth has won my heart, if I can't get the money together to get a decent one I think I'll have to go for a GTi-R.

my two cents!
Rex = ...like a pubic hair.... evryone's got one.
GTiR = it isn't a rex.. both a good and a bad point.

Did the rex you drove have climate control? and how was the price comparison?

Well I'm not too impressed with the Rex after going for a ride in the Sierra. I didn't check the Rex very thoroughly but I think it was going for about 22K, I will look at a nice white '93 GTi-R tomorrow going for 17K.

I have a beautiful 90, white VR4 for sale..
$13K and would put both the GTiR and WRX to shame in terms of performance and comfort..

dude your vr4 will shame the gti-r in performance?? nice, respect to you
Personally, my pick of those would be the gti-r followed by the vr4.... check out issue 9 of speed if you need a bit more convinceing of the gti-r nice white one with hr 125's, 12.4 second timeslip and 227kw at the wheels. :D i recently re-read this issue (yes guys it is *OLD* ) and it made me think "why the hell did i buy an s13??". well slight exageration, but yeah it is beautiful!! never been a huge fan of the wrx for a couple of reasons, but it looks like you've already ruled it out for 15-25k you could get an awd turbo gsr lancer. I'm quite a fan of these. inconspicous looks, 145kw, 0-100 in less than 7 secs, aus deleivered, good build quality...... that saisd, the vr4 would be a good alternative as well. 150+kw, 4g63t, tough drivetrain good (subjective) inconspicous looks, awd, comfort plus, good performance, quite ceap to purchase and insure...... hope i made your choice tougher dude hehe, kidding but there are a fewnoptions out there. personally i like the gti-r, the vr4 AND the gsr. value for money = vr4 handsdown

That GTI-R in speed is revolting.

every dickhead and his P Plates are getting GTI-R's now.

You mean the GTi-R in speed magazine or the speed of a GTi-R?

I'll fuckin say! That's one of the reasons I don't want to get one anymore, I saw a chick driving one in the city today, tell me that isn't a kick in the nuts.

Damn, I would love a Sierra Cosworth Sapphire, even better would be the RWD RS500 model. Pity you can't find them around anywhere.

Allan GTI-R, what is so disgusting about it?? Nice, smooth simple paint, nice simple gold 5 spoke wheels, low enough suspension.
also good power figure and 12 second timeslip........
I don't find anything abd about any of that

Then you would have loved the RS500 the Cosworth guy I saw recently sold:

"51000 Miles Colour: Black

Originally exported from the UK as a Lottery Prize in New Zealand this genuine RS500 is in almost original condition undergoing a $12000 respray to bring it back to "as new" condition - no expense spared, full compliance and registration in NSW. All the usual RS500 extras Intercooler 8 injectors T4 etc. Modification include Mongoose 3 inch exhaust multi layer head gasket Coil-overs"

You should have seen this thing, fuckin beautiful to say the least.

I'm on a budget mate, I don't think I'll spend anymore than $20K. I read that the Liberty GT does not come in manual in Australia yet, but a 6 speed manual is on the way i think.
