1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth review from Switzerland
"Expensive - but fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Couldn't open the fuel tank, because of a defective lock.
Once the clutch cable broke. Sometimes all warning lights are flashing, when cornering a bit too hard.
General comments?
What a great performer and so much fun to drive. When you can find one and afford it, get it, you won't regret a single penny spent on this boy racer's delight. And what other hi-performance sports car can take up to 5 passengers? What other sports car can be driven easily in the Swiss Alps during the hardest winter and leave all off-road cars behind?
