1991 Ford Escort Popular review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rusty for the age of car, required drivers side sill welding already. Rear shocks replaced after 60k miles. Clutch, exhaust and alternator replaced after 70k miles. Engine clatter after 60k miles due to poor quality of 1.3HCS engine. Boot leaks and spare tyre recess fills with water.
General comments?
Don't buy models equipped with the 1.3HCS engine.
Reliable car to get from A to B, always starts first time. Parts are very economical.
Can get up to 40mpg on motorways, but generally 30-32mpg around town.
Engine noisy when driving on motorways.
