1989 Ford Escort Bonus review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and cheerful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Boot leaking and somehow flowing and creating a puddle under the passengers seat!!
Various other leaks.
General comments?
This car is ideal for a first time buyer its quick off the mark and is good on fuel. it is good for doing wheel spins and handbrake turns and can beat many other "boy racer" cars off the mark. I have had 115mph out of this car and it was still going when I had to slow down!! (down hill)
