1989 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ball joints wore out
fuel filter needed changing
valve guide seals are going bad.
General comments?
This was my first car I got if for 75 bucks it has been a really great car. Little to nothing has gone wrong with it sense I got it. I got it painted recently and I got some ford contour rims on it and a loud exhaust. I made a costume air intake system for the car. I have raced a few people with it and it keeps up for a long time. the interior is kinda blah, but you get use to it. the exterior styling is ugly at first, but that also take some time to like this car is a great first car and a car that will please you over and over again.
