1997 Ford Escort KX review from UK and Ireland
"A fast comfortable car which is good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only fault has been the door open warning light staying on when the doors are in fact shut.
General comments?
The 1.8 engine is fast and responsive. the ride is comfortable. The interior is fairly spacious and light (has sun-roof).
I've had the car for over 5 years now, travelled 59,000 miles and only needed new tyres and windscreen wiper blades.
My wife has a year old Ford Focus, but I prefer the Escort.
