1988 Ford Escort RS Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Absolute stunning car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with my Escort is a burnt out circuit board on the fuel pump relay switch.
General comments?
Since I purchased my car two years ago I have had only one problem with it. It is reliable, has no body rust, still looks good after 12 years, still has original components - alternator, starter motor, turbo, water pump. An excellent car, and if you haven't yet tried one, start looking for one. Just make sure it's Mercury Grey.
