1992 Ford Escort CLX review from Netherlands
"Cheap, reliable and more than enough horsepower"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-The windshield wiper system broke down in the middle of the highway in a flood of rain.
-The rear window wiper doesn't work properly, it doesn't move sometimes, and then the next minute it does.
-Recently the blower broke down. Does anyone recognize this problem? I'm searching for an answer to fix it.
General comments?
It's not a pretty car, it's not a luxurious one, but it's pretty reliable!
It has never let me down yet, it always starts.
After 300.000 kilometers it still purrs like a kitten.
