1990 Ford Escort RS review from UK and Ireland
"The car is one beast of a machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Theres not really anything gone major with my RS up to yet, I've had a few electrical faults including the heating. It takes ages to warm up the car and it dosn't clear the windows properly.
General comments?
The car drives superb it handles like its on rails.
However the brakes are prety poor as standard.
