I have had no major problems with this car. I have only had to replace the usual service parts and wishbones.
The car is a good reliable and fun car to drive, which is capable of 135 mph.
Have you written this review purely to make the claim of 135mph for an Escort GTi? You have not put any real information about the car and that claim is beyond dubious, given I don't know of any other cars with 115bhp or less that can crack 135mph. Even with a low kerb weight, most cars need 150bhp or more to get upto that sort of speed.
