1997 Ford Escort Encore review from UK and Ireland
"Good value so far.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car jerks forward sometimes at low speeds, as though its in the wrong gear (but its not becasue its automatic!). Sometimes it seems it is about to stall when slowing down to a halt, although it doesn't actually stall. Can't seem to do anything about this.
General comments?
The car is quite spacious for front and rear passengers. My 6'2 brother can sit comfortably in it.
Comfortable seats front and rear.
Versatile load/passenger carrier with 60/40 split folding rear seat.
Good looking car, clean lines, paintwork still very good.
