1997 Ford Escort GTi review from UK and Ireland
"A standard head turner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My escort gti is loosing power sometimes through the higher rev range. Could this be because of the KnN induction kit I had fitted? Or could it be the fuel pump? I don't know!
It revs high sometimes for up to twenty seconds on starting. Then the revs drop and she sometimes stalls.
General comments?
Ave had Escort gti for over two years and am still happy with it.
It looks magic in the moondust metallic silver.
Ave heard this is the hardest escort gti to come by, especially in 3 door form.
I think ford should have added some corner splitters to the front bumper to make it different from other mk6/7 escorts.
