1999 Ford Escort Finesse review from UK and Ireland
"A great family car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front fog light leaked and had to be replaced.
Rear Alloy wheel buckled after hitting the curb.
Rear cabin of the car rattles a lot.
General comments?
This car was a bargain for the money.
All the mod cons; CD Player, Air Con, Electric Windows, Central Locking and rear armrest and Headrests.
1.8 TD is powerful and is quick off the mark.
3 Spoke alloys give a sporty look to the car.
Rear High Level brake Light.
Cabin Seats are very supportive.
Excellent on Diesel.
Boot is bigger than a focus and it is way more comfortable.
Shame I didn't have the remote Central Locking.
