But disliking a manufacturer simply because of the badge is a bit pathetic really, unless you have a valid case (ie. you have owned several cars from that manufacturer and have come to the conclusion that they were all crap).

I had a yellow Fiesta Ghia as my first car and it rusted through before I had even passed my test.
Was a right pile of shit

Some Fords are good, I like the Fiesta RS1800 and the Escort GTi, ST24.
CVH engines are my bad experience, skeleton wanking in a biscuit tin?

Yesh they are fantastic!! Id definatly have another RST but id make sure i found a standard minter (which are like rocking horse shite) and keep the engine standard, they are reliable untill modified unless your spend mega bucks

Yeah modified RST engines are just hassle.
And like you say finding a minter is nearly impossible!
Ragged to fuck mine was.Still sounded sweet
