1988 Ford Escort GL review from North America
"Not bad for a Family beater"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I paid $300 United States dollars for this escort and it was well spent. It went through a map sensor, a set of tires, a starter, and a headlight switch in less than three years! Not too bad, one problem I do have recently is that it warms up and dies on me (distributor) I'm thinking. but well worth the time and money.
General comments?
The car runs awesome at high speeds 80 + mph!! a little shy on the handling, but what ever!
