It will break all the time, and I mean ALL the time. You have to spend some serious wedge to keep a cossie nice. I considered getting one but could not be arsed with fixing it all the time after I did that for 2 years with my RS Turbo.

I had an N plate cossie "N5 CYA" that was a stage 1,filter,exhaust etc for 2 years and the only prob i had was a blown turbo so got a hybrid for £1000.It had 13,000 on the clock when i got it and 24,000 when i sold it.Was perfect apart from the turbo going which is a common fault on a stage 1 small turbo without a 360 degree bearing in it.

Mates Sierra Saph Cossie was pushin 370bhp, absolutely mint throughout. Think it went for 7k. Most powerful car I've been in, abolutely nailed you in your seat when the turbo kicked in.
I want one...

Yes, they have a bag under the back seat for it... Only motorsport versions of the car have it though.
H-Reg (yes they DO exist, but all were rally cars, but you never know they may of found it to the road), J, K, L, M were big turbo.
M, N, P were small.
