1995 Ford Escort Mistral review from UK and Ireland
"Basic economical down to earth family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlamps Broke after 38000
Locks Had to be replaced just before I got rid of it.
General comments?
A brilliant car for its price, it lasts for ages and if I hadnt have got rid of it, It would still be going now. The cabin is fairly basic, however its has a nifty cd player and tape radio. the seat fabric was very comfortable and hard wearing, but the plastics felt cheap and tacky, and parts started to fall off.
