1987 Ford Escort GLS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failed alternator.
Rust in rear wheel arches and sills.
General comments?
Would have been a better car if Ford had used a twin-carb instead of a variable venturi type.
Rust a bit of a problem.
Handling and suspension could be better.
Generally speaking a reliable and economical car.
I have never used a Ford dealer but I am told that they are inefficient and arrogant and this may put me off buying a new Ford.
