Ford Escort 1.6 Hatchback

There was once a film, that gave us the oft' quoted maxim that "life is like a box of chocolates," this could well be true although I've never managed to apply this abstract to anything remotely connected to life, but then again I have a pretty odd way of living anyway. Imagine now, that you are sitting infront of the television picking at a box of Quality Street. We've all been there, zoned out in front of some film, (normally Die Hard 1, on ITV when they've borrowed the video from BBC for a change,) you're appreciating how bad the "television edit" is, and winching at that part when McClain ... more

FORD ESCORT FINESSE This review is based on a Finesse model of an escort, this model is a 1.6 16v, and it was first registered in 2000 on a 'W' plate. PERSONAL OWNING I owned one of these cars from 2000 till 2006 unfortunately it was an insurance write off so had to be replaced. In the time I owned this car it had a few problems such as the head gasket going along with the cylinder head but this was at around 90,000 miles. It had general ware and tear bits replaced throughout its life but no other major engine problems, suspension problems etc. Being a ford they are prone to rust and at around ... more

We bought our Escort secondhand about 3 years ago from a well known secondhand paper. We decided to buy from there as our car previous to this one we also bought and had no problems with it. The Escort is metallic grey and is the original K reg. Had about 79,000 miles on the clock when we bought it and was in excellent condition. First impressions of the car was, great, nice size family car, English made, so parts are easy to come by, and I have to say that in the 3 years we've had it, its always passed the MOT with minimal things wrong. The Escort is 1.6 engine with the spoiler kit on the ... more

I have a Ford Escort 1.6 16v LX which basically has all the electrical toys plus I have remote locking too. (very useful, a must have, especailly good as a safety feature for women in car parks!) This car started its life as a company car & now has 140,000 miles on it & is still breezing through MOTs.(although I do have an annoying rattle from the Cat, but if it's passing emissions....) It's 6 years old now but will do a ton up the motorway (not that I do of course!!) no problem & It's pretty good on fuel too! Even if you really push it hard your only talkin 11p a mile. The engine is a 90bhp ... more

Well, I'm not too sure where to start off except for saying that this is one if not the best car I've ever drove/owned. I recently purchased this luxurious Ford Escort a few weeks ago as my Fiesta was ready for the knackers yard. The car had almost 44,000 miles (genuine based on the service history and how smooth the engine and clutch are.) with 12 months mot but only one months tax when I purchased it .The bodywork is in mint condition, in fact just about show worthy. Being a Ghia it has all the refinements: electric mirrors (colour-coded), electric windows, sound amplification system (one of ... more
