1991 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"Nice, fast car, but too many engine problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes wore very quick.
Transmission blew.
Engine blew.
The automatic seat belts kept jamming.
General comments?
The car was great when I first got it.
It was a cute little car, with a stylish look. After I had the car for about 12,000 miles the transmission blew and then the engine at the same time.
I had to get rid of it because on a GT those don't come cheap. I'm getting a 1989 Ford Escort LX for my next car. I'm buying it for $250 U.S. dollars. Nice price and it only has 40,00o miles on it.
