1985 Ford Escort GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I cooked the engine twice, once needed to replace the head, due to massive coolant leaks (95,96,98).
Bad ignition module (97).
Bad heater core (98).
Clutch is about to go.
General comments?
Rather old, but only 103K miles and I can't go three months without something significant going wrong. Good thing I got it for free to begin with. I need a new car.
