1996 Ford Escort RS2000 review from UK and Ireland
"A reliable quick road rocket!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worn front lower wishbones.
New battery, as previous had come to the end of its life.
New front brake discs and pads due to excessive wear.
General comments?
Very quick for a naturally aspirated engine.
Handles very taught and confident.
Interior is typically classy with recaro seats and swooping dash..
This production year, yields more refinements that previous incarnations.
