1997 Ford Escort GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Nice looks, reliable, but not very fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the clutch.
General comments?
This car was fantastic. It Was not as fast as you would expect a Gti to be, however it was reliable, economical and looked great when kitted out. I put 17's on mine, lowered it, Cd player, air filter and stainless exhaust. Then an uninsured driver drove up the back of me and wrote it off!
