1989 Ford Escort Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"A comfortable pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust system needed replacing, although it was still on its original exhaust after almost 89000 miles.
There was a slight problem with the brake light switch which was easily and cheaply fixed.
General comments?
For a large car, it is severely quick and handles quite well.
The cabin is roomy and comfortable and has a decent level of soundproofing.
The Ghia has a pretty good stereo system as standard, as it has a built-in amplifier.
