1998 Ford Escort GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Good, but could be better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 new wish bones.
2 back bearings.
1 drive.
Engine not idling right.
Engine racing.
General comments?
I had the same make and model car before this one, and never had as many problems.
The head gasket went, but that was just a straight fix.
But with this one, it just seems to be one thing after another.
