    Worst car I've ever had

I have had my Ford Escort 1.8LX for just over five years. Without any doubt, it's the most awful car I've ever had. After 80,000 miles and vast expenditure by my employer, the engine still revs up when I try to slow down, bulbs blow regularly, the o/s/rear wing is rusted through (Ford don't want to know)etc. Not to mention the leaking water pump (fixed under warranty) collapsed rear shocker, key stuck in ignition, numerous switch problems, fire in wiring loom (!) battery discharging through the wiring, failure to start, engine dying out when not fully warmed through, etc etc

I absolutely HATE this car and I can't wait to see it go.

What do I want to replace it with ?

Almost anything else

    As said before much more information is needed and not just a few negative findings to make it useful for a consumer. Happy to re-rate if you add more. Fionaxx
