they are not to bad allrounders good for distance or short trips, they look great if you want to put body kits on them, only for the boy racers,ive recently purchased mine for a very low sum of dosh within 2 weeks of having it ,the car is now snaking from 1 side of the road to the other, not sure what that is yet, the heater fan has stoped working,and i cant unlock it from drivers door it has air con which was working, not now because of the fan. i know i can get this all sorted out for a couple of hundread but at the mo i do not have time, i did not pay much for it on a p reg, but it belonged to an ederly gent which he looked after it, so not sure y its all gone pots up . any way do not be put off by this as i think im unlucky to have the things go wrong. the car is great it looks good has air con, alloys spoiler etc ido much very enjoy this car .

Sorry for the low rating. If you wanted higher ratings then you need to say more. My advice would be to read around other reviews and you'll see what I mean. If you edit this in any way let me know via my guestbook and I'll happily re-read it for you.

Welcome to Ciao! AS this is a consumer website it would be handy to know of the finer features of this car. It is an estate so whats the space like? Do the rear seats fold flat into the floor or sit over the bench and therefore rise at an angle? Is it worth spending money on buying an Escort estate over another Ford model? Whats the comfort like? Build quality? Dashboard design? Whilst some boy racers are more than likely to buy the three door hatchback version I doubt whether I would ever see a boy racer in an estate. If you update your review with more info then let me know.
Advantages: Good workhorse, nice engine, nice extras Disadvantages: Lacks finesse (sorry), poor suspension, suspect brakes, not very spacious for passengers
