1994 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"Best $180 I've ever spent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I was told the clutch was gone when I got it. I replaced the clutch master cylinder (which was leaking down) and haven't had a problem since.
Seat belts don't fully retract.
Spoiler rattles a little.
General comments?
I love this little car! Fun to drive, and at last check, 37 MPG. (Twice my pick-up) I'm way past my oil change mileage, but when last checked, it is still 100% full. Would like a 6th gear, and a turbo, but I'd just get into trouble!
