1992 Ford Escort Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Too many faults for my liking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within 2 weeks of purchase, needed a new anti roll bar.
Steering is bumpy / jerky and not very accurate when turning - understeer always a problem.
Passenger seat comes loose and is noisy.
Dim lights work when they feel like it - dodgy switch.
Very noisy tappet sound when starting from cold, noisy engine at full stop.
Clutch pedal sometimes has a lot of play near the top and you have to double clutch to get in gear.
General comments?
Total waste of money. I would have thought that I would have learned this by now when it comes to Escorts, but this one being my third, I can promise that I will never buy another Ford for as long as live.
