1996 Ford Escort RS 2000 review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic car to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front left bushes have worn, very easy to replace.
ABS sensors get dirty very quickly on the front and rear of the car causing the ABS light to come on, easily cleaned.
General comments?
Fantastic car, I chose the 2wd over the 4wd for performance. Not a cossie killer, but can hold its own against others. The 2.0 16v I4 engine is very well built and very responsive. A real drivers car handles corners very well.
Spot on, just enough power for todays roads.
