2000 Ford Escort Finesse from UK and Ireland - Comments

"An overpriced pile of junk!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air conditioning failure at 23,000 miles.

Catalytic converter failed -- awaiting replacement.

CD player jumpy and skips.

General comments?

I bought this car thinking it would be nippy, but found that unfortunately I get beaten by the competition -- Peugeots, Renaults, etc.

Seats are extremely hard and uncomfortable for long journeys. Not helped by over-stiff suspension.

Steering lacks feedback round corners.

Interior looks typically tacky -- but it is a Ford, after all.

Lack of boot space.

No sound satisfaction at high revs, possibly due to pinhole-sized exhaust.

You must have brought a Friday afternoon car because ford makes very good cars.
