1998 Ford Escort GTi review from UK and Ireland
"A good, reliable car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, but have had to replace the brake pads and discs on the front.
General comments?
The performance on these cars can be vastly improved by fitting a free flow air filter such as a K&N. With one fitted the engine revs so much more freely. They only cost about 50 quid and last the lifetime of the car.
