1998 Ford Escort GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Best car I had so far- excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idles roughly on start up for a few seconds! so far I have not heard pf one that don't. so it's a very common problem.
General comments?
A very nice looking car. my car has a/c which means I get 135bhp instead of 115.cost me £2500 be careful of any under £2000 as I looked at over 10 gti's befor I bought my one. they are quite juicy about 200 miles to the tank/£40.my last car was a 1990 escort rs turbo and this car is so much better, looks better, drives better, speed wise they are identical 0 - 60 with the gti being a bit faster top end 140mph on the clock so about 128 in the real world, and I'm glad to have power steering which the rs don't have!tried the rs 2000 but was not in pressed looked the same and could not tell the difference speed wise! so I'm saving for an escort cosworth! rich.
