1998 Ford Escort GTi review from UK and Ireland
"This car is the best car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had a few things wrong with this car, in the past but everything seems OK now.
Here is a list of what I had wrong with my car at first:
1. Lack of power.
2. Brake judder at motorway speeds.
3. Noisy steering rack.
4. New gearbox.
5. Smelly heater.
General comments?
All of these faults have been sorted out now by my local Ford dealership, I gave them 8/10 for their service.
