1998 Ford Escort Si review from UK and Ireland
"A good car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious, the rear parcel shelf had a habit of popping out on its own but my Ford dealer fixed it (eventually)!
General comments?
Definitely the best car I've had so far. My particular car has more extras than normal: electric sunroof, air con, remote central locking and CD autochanger so I'm pretty happy!
Suspension setup is excellent - holds the road well, and the steering & gear change are good. Could be a bit quicker though!
