1990 Ford Escort Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap to buy, reliable and fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Goes through exhausts - replaced every section now!
Rust in back wheel arches, getting worse all the time. Lot of welding to pass its MOT.
General comments?
Quick, reliable and smart looking hatch.
Good stereo and sunroof add to the quality feel.
Sits on the motorway, and can be thrown around corners (even if the handling is not great, the engine has torque enough to catch the slide and slingshot you forwards).
Watch the insurance though...
