1987 Ford Escort EXP review from North America
"Stay away from all 80's American cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump, fuel pump, steering column, loose belts, alternator, air conditioning, rear view mirror, RPM gauge, radiator, all went bad and had to be replaced. Put way too much money into the car given what I paid.
General comments?
The car pretty much went bad after 5-6 years. All electronic parts had to be replaced. But I did love its looks and I think it worked great for a first car out of high school.
