1989 Ford Escort RS Turbo review from Netherlands
"A sporty little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I don't know, I haven't owned the car that long.
General comments?
This car is a must to drive, it's sporty and beautiful (at least I think so).
I've fitted a Scorpion exhaust to have more performance and a deep sound.
And in combination with my pipercross open air filter, I think I have about 150BHP to use.
I really can't think about other cars any more.
It's more sporty than my previous Sierra 2.0 DOHC and I always thought that was the right car for me.
I can recommend this car to everybody who wants a semi race car.
