The thing that makes the Cossie V2 so cool to watch is that it sounds just like the mid-90's cars that McRae drove. We don't have to watch old [comparatively] crappy SD in car footage to enjoy the sounds of the gearbox, the rattle of the gravel, and the chirp of the wastegates.

I love that he's using the cossie, It's one of my favorite cars. This also goes to show how much Ford has progressed with moving to the Fiesta and Focus. Super disappointed that Ford is dropping both models. I feel it's a big mistake on their part in doing so.

Huge respect for Ken's passion and driving skill with cars. Great crew of guys as well. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic video. It's always great to see these old vs new comparisons when they're done without rose tinted glasses. Ken's honesty about his ability in each car is good to hear and adds to the quality of the video. Thank you.

Cossie is my choice. Love old school all day plus love that engine sound of the cossie

Both look and sound great. I'd have to behind the wheel to make a decision absolute. I do like the driver to driver methodology vs the car to car methodology.
