1989 Ford Escort CL review from Finland
"A desperate buy that has become like a good friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, just regular service things like oil, air & fuel filter + a set of rear shoes at 194000 km.
General comments?
The car is pretty quick considering it only has a 1.3 carburettor engine under the bonnet.
I miss the sunroof & the heated chairs from my Orion though.
Otherwise I'm happy with it.
