1987 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"I love my little 21 yr old GT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Does seem to eat exhaust systems.
General comments?
I've had this car since new. Drove it for 2 winters, and have put it away for the winter ever since.
I can't wait to drive her each spring. Such a fun little car to drive. Quick, responsive, and reliable.
It's first spring, I had installed, a color matched, silk-screened sunroof, imported from Las Vegas. Makes it totally unique.
Only tires, and exhaust have been replaced. Everything else is original.
