1992 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"Extremely fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt snapped after I did my first inspection on it! Replaced timing belts and all other belts with the water pump.
Compressor went bad recently and replaced that... not expensive.
Other than that my usual oil change at 2000 miles... I do it sooner since it has so many miles and it still runs great!
General comments?
Car handles great. I bought the car with high mileage, but I think the engine is still original. It can smoke people at the lights and sometimes new faster cars like the Mustang and souped up Hondas. A real sleeper car.
Also had police strobes and real police siren put into it because I'm cool. Pull people over and give them the finger. HA! Just having fun! Heavy tint on car with scanners and antennas. Email me for pics! allstaryoot@yahoo.com
I also work for the United States Customs so I'm allowed to have it, but other than that the car is extremly reliable and still going strong at 178,900 miles!
