1992 Ford Escort L review from UK and Ireland
"Quality, reliable family car, but repetitive rusty arch problem lets it down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal things needed renewing like battery etc. But we also needed to fit a new clutch and yet again as with all Escorts we have had the back arches that have become rusty, which is disappointing as this is a great car.
General comments?
Great small family car. Great build quality and very comfortable to drive but when will Ford put the rear arches right, it really irritates me when they start to rust every time.
