1989 Ford Escort S1 RS Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"High performance car, with good tuning potential, surprisingly fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
Seriously fast, not just an upgrade from my XR3i.
Quite comfy.
Very reliable, only let me down twice in 6 years of owning it.
The turbo was also very reliable.
