1993 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"Will outrun Civics at a small price tag"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belt was bad when I bought the car. That was a $300 fix.
Passenger side window was broken as well.
Emergency brake doesn't hold well at all.
General comments?
I picked up the car for $300 from the original owner. I considered this a steal since the car only had 87,000 miles on it and had all the service records.
My favorite thing about this car is the look it puts on all the ricers as your blowing by them at the stop lights.
The car I owned before this, a 1991 escort LX, was no competition for this.
You can definitely feel the difference right off the bat.
