Had a blown radiator.
A dodgy carb.
Reverse switch.
Electric window motor.
The car has been very reliable, had no major problems.
Lots of fun to drive, a very easy car to modify, loves to be hammered.
Just keeps on going.
AX GT, 0-60 9 seconds.
Escort RS Turbo, 0-60 8.1 seconds
Nova eater yes. Turbo beater no.
AX GT 9.0 secs.
RS Turbo 8.1 secs.
In the real world there's nothing in it.... a good AX will beat a "dogged" RST.
Yup... the second guy is right... there's not much in it on the road. A good AX GT with a competent driver will whip a dog of an RST with a typical "boy" driver!
I know... I have beaten RST's... and I've been hammered by an RST! I found out that the guy who killed me was a semi-pro driver... so I went and took some advanced lessons... and now I compete in the AX GT cup events... and I destroy many quicker cars on the road (eg Saxo VTR/VTS, Pug 1.9 GTI's, even a badly-driven Clio 16V) cos the owners just can't drive!
So you need to have a quick car AND be a quick, safe driver! One outta two just ain't good enough!

At the end of the day the AX will blow up before it gets to 60 - I should know, mine did... twice.
The AX GT seems to be the car to buy if you like to try to beat an RS at the lights.
Buy Buy Buy
I'll race your RS Turbo!!
My AXGT is currently kicking out 120 bhp (I kid you not) and it will destroy your rusty ford at any speed.
Lets see if that rustles some feathers!

What interests me is that why all of these RS Turbo boys are reading AXGT reviews? If they are so crap, why bother reading about them?
You know in the back of your minds that these cars can seriously worry an RST off the mark!!
P.s - my cousin used to own an RST and to be honest they are not as quick as you may think, you have to spend loads of cash on them to make them go really good... not so with the little AX!
A good AX GT will beat a "dogged" RST so what??
A good RST will beat a good AX GT.
A dogged RST will still beat a dogged AX GT.
A dogged RST will probably still beat a good AX GT anyway.
RSTs stand out from other cars on the road.
AX GTs don't. End of story.
