1984 Ford Escort LX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On the first day I bought it a headlamp fuse went, also interior light faulty.
Tracking is a bit off.
General comments?
Lovely smooth ride, a real head turner.
Starts first time every time, cheap to insure, and very nice clutch/gear control.
Suspension on a bumpy road can be a bit odd, and acceleration a little slow, but I'm just being picky.
Overall a lovely car, runs on air and a pleasure to drive...I would definitely buy another car from that dealer, very helpful and honest, too!!
