1995 Ford Escort Encore review from UK and Ireland
"Wouldn't have one if someone gave it to me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When first brought the car suddenly got a loud tapping and the engine seized up! Required a new engine.
Boot leaked could keep gold fish in the spare wheel bay.
Sold it sharply due to loud tapping coming back.
General comments?
This car is seriously slow and handles like a pram. You definatly need a good stereo to drown out all the knocks and creeks.
Had 5 spoke alloys on it and still looked dull.
No extras on vehicle at all only thing it did was make a noise when left your lights on.
Very poor mpg was a 1.4 and only managed about 27 to the gallon!
