1997 Ford Escort Si review from UK and Ireland
"Very capable car, fantastic value for money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension bushes on driver's side.
General comments?
Pretty quick from stationary, awesome after 3,500 revs.
Add an induction kit and it's even better!
Excellent handling, firm, but sporty ride with positive steering that gives good feedback.
Fantastic front seats, side bolsters grab you round corners.
Excellent driving position.
Brilliant gear change (typical Ford) smooth and precise.
Build quality very good. However paint does chip easily.
