1996 Ford Escort LX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes squeak.
Noisy when changing gear and going up hills.
Cog above clutch broke after eighteen months as did the switch for the headlights. Both the indicator arm and the wiper arm had to be replaced. Car makes noises when driving.
General comments?
Very unhappy with this car. Had an Astra before and am sorry to have changed to an Escort. Disappointed with all the problems I have had over the past eighteen months. I like the look of the car and the interior but am not keeping it due to all the faults.
