1983 Ford Escort Ghia review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the car 5 years, all it's needed is a new battery and exhaust.
General comments?
We only got the car as a roundabout because it had a years MOT, and every year it gets another MOT with only £50 spent. It's now done 140,000 miles and is still going fine and starts every time even in the worst weathers.
If you find a good MK3 Escort they are really good cars.
