    **THIS REVIEW REFERS TO THE 1.8 SI.** Many hundreds of years ago, a group of Anglo-Saxon settlers in the east of England became known as the 'East Seaxe." They marvelled at the beauty of the furtile land, enjoyed the clean flowing rivers, and generally thought they lived in a wonderful area. As time moved on, pretty market towns came to dominate Essex, Saffron Walden, Thaxted, Maldon in the north. In the south of the county, on the outer reaches of London a car company became synomums with the area. The term "Essex Girl," and "Dagenham Dustbin" where born. Now, I'm not here at all to try and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good all rounder that is superb value

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They're not the most original set of wheels on the road

    ::Introduction:: As new car prices in England finally come slightly more into line with the rest of the world, the second-hand market has become a bargain hunters dream. Gone are the days where a budget limited to a couple of grand might stretch far enough to purchase a dated old banger that has enough miles on the clock to raise serious doubts about it making the journey home, let alone a long-term future. I recently required reliable transport that would be inexpensive (around £2000), yet have enough life to still be mildly entertaining to drive (1.6 minimum) and preferably not look like it ... more

    3 Stars Smart, sporty, comfortable, cheap to run car 05/03/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Sporty looks, better drive than other Escorts, very comfortable seats

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Performance not especially sporty, handling and steering not great

    The Ford Escort 1.6Si I am reviewing is a 1996 three-door model. The car is distinguished from models such as the LX by the standard presence of a body-coloured front spoiler with fog lamps, a honeycomb front grille, a rear tailgate spoiler, sports seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel and white-backed instruments. Later models also had standard five-spoke alloy wheels, but mine was fitted with a set of fairly dull Ford trims. The spoilers, grille and alloy wheels were also available as options on most other Escorts, making the Si potentially not much of a stand-out. It also used the same 1.6 ... more

    5 Stars Escort Mk 6 1.6 Si 18/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good overall car, reliable,sporty

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no major problems

    I bought one of these cars secondhand, and have had very little problems with it. It always starts and has never let me down. The only problem i have had is with the indicator/light stalk. Sometimes the contacts stop working, which means its best to replace the whole stalk which is not very costly. This probably would only happen with an older car due to wear and tear. Other than that, i have over 100,000 miles on the clock, and it just keeps going and going. Look after the engine and it should just keep going. On long journeys it is very economical still. The interior of the SI is very sporty ... more

    Ford Escort 1.6 SI I have had my escort for 9 months and purchased it from a lady who had the car for 6 years and travelled just 20,000 miles over 6 years and came with lots of history. BAD POINTS: are bodywork it failed its mot on welding on the rear sill and alo needed welding on both rear chasis legs - Ford seem to be very good for cheap reliable motoring but the body work in pre 2000 models realy leave a lot to be discussed, because of this i am going to sell the car next year and move up to a focus which replaced the escort for which i have been told has all the bodywork isues sorted ... more
