1997 Ford Escort Si review from UK and Ireland
"A good high-speed car with a crap dealer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door strips have fallen off.
Dealer took the locking wheelnuts off before I picked it up so I only had 3 wheelnuts on each alloy.
Exhaust backbox had a huge hole in the bottom of it.
General comments?
I love the car! Do not get me wrong, I absolutely love this car but the dealer was absolutely crap. I bought the car and the dealer didn't want to know after the finance was paid. The service dept were brilliant and did everything in their power to help me out. I complained to Ford Customer Services in Halewood who gave the Sales Manager a good kicking and got the problems sorted.
