1988 Ford Escort GT review from North America
"A great car for a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight housings leak.
Head gasket work.
Paint.
Exhaust rusted though.
General comments?
The car shocked me, I didn't think it would be as fast as it is. I'm very pleased with the performance that I got for the price that I paid. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
