1989 Ford Escort L review from UK and Ireland

"Got from A to B...... eventually"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes squeaked, boot hinge broke, steering wheel rattled, brakes juddered.

General comments?

Very cheap to run and easy to maintain, but not very refined. Generally reliable, never let me down.
