1992 Ford Escort XR3i review from UK and Ireland
"Not at all bad, but needs to be quicker!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far so good. I have had nothing go wrong with the car since I bought it a couple of months ago.
General comments?
My car is totally original with only 38,000 miles on the clock which is great considering the car is eleven years old this year.
I am planning to strap on a Turbo and putting on the Cosworth Body Kit on the car.
As the car is now I am really happy with it, but is slightly underpowered compared to what I used to drive, I used to have the Fiesta XR2i 1.8i, but obviosly the car was smaller with the same engine as my Escort.
The car handles well and has a good ride quality, but I am planning to Lower the suspension slightly when I have put the body kit on so I hope not to upset the ride too much.
