Subzero this is one of my top ten favorite cars. I saw one a couple of days ago and it made my day

It's actually quite a cool car, but the people who drive it are far from cool. Hence, uncool.

Seriously Uncool.

The rally car was great, and the cosworth was good. That being said Im not sure the cosworth was ever sold here... And the stigma it holds here in relation to the pos ford escort line just is too much to overcome.. Sorry.

There arent too many cars which cost more to insure than to buy. Since Jeremy had one and he doesn't own it anymore, that makes it a subzero car!

Uncool, never got a feeling for this one, the Lancia rival or the Subarus got my attention at that time.
Ugly wing

Ive voted it as very cool, as Ive heard from the motorsport journalists and specialists, the car is quite boring compared to the rear wheel drive sierra......anyway, it seems that the engine´s punch due to the turbocharger is unique....anyway....there is no comparison to the current turbo cars in terms of sensations such as the focus RS, the golf GTI,....

Has Cosworth ever made anything that's not cool?

Definitely not, perhaps the less cool Cosworth has been the Ford Scorpio Cosworth, but it must be great to drive it though since it has almost two hundred bhp, a 2.9 engine, and rear wheel drive car

Cool!!

It's a rally car for the road, just like the Evo or the Impreza! 8)
