1998 Ford Escort Finesse review from UK and Ireland
"Smart looking car at a good price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much at all. Known the car since 2000 and nothing has failed since then. I will regret saying the above.
Ford built the last few escorts very well.
General comments?
The zetec engine is smooth and quick for its size. Drawback is that it's a bit juicy unless driven carefully.
Good options and spec.
CD player is of a good quality for the manufacturer fit.
