1996 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"Unbelievably the most reliable car I have ever driven and quick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My struts are little weak especially in the winter. the rear more than my front. I guess I have to replace those.
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever owned for the amount of money I paid for it which is around 2000 cnadian.
I have 220 right now and have been running the car for about 3 years with no major repairs on it.
This car has no problem beating honda civics. actually it'll smoke them.
I honestly think the engine can go for another 3 years maybe more. I have never done and major repairs on it.
Plus it's a seriously quick car for its year. it'll beat my brothers cavalier that's for sure.
