1984 Ford Escort L review from Netherlands
"A low-performance cheapo!"
General comments?
I bought my Escort for 700 guilders (about 200 pounds) and it just keeps on going. Of course it is a bit slow, but what would you expect from a 1100 cc engine? I built in a loud stereo-system to improve my pleasure in driving, because the Escort corners a lot less spectacularly than my Panda.
