1997 Ford Escort LX review from UK and Ireland
"Escorts are under rated!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nearside front wishbone bush replaced when bought.
Two new front tyres.
General comments?
I was concerned when I sold my great little MX5 that the escort would feel dull. However it drives just as well as the sports car!
Have added performance exhaust and induction kit - Car now feels tweekier and growls a bit more!!!
Personally I think it handels nice and sharply - A great car for minimal costs!
