Ford Escort Hatchback 1.6i Ghia 5d Auto (1995/N) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Very good value for money, picked mine up for just £1300 last January.
Costs
Haven't calculated fuel costs, but seems to drink a bit when pushed. Being a Ford, parts are readily available at good prices.

On the road
Driving
Mine isn't the auto, but there was no category for the manual version. Good drive, enjoyable handling, nice gearchange.
Performance
Seriously underpowered when pulling away, can't beat anything at the lights! However once speed has picked up it copes pretty well. More of a cruiser than racer.

Living with it
Reliability
Always starts, have had no problems.
Image
My one is in radient red which I like. Doesn't come with spoiler, but added one which really enhances the looks. Alloys aren't bad for standard. Looking a little dated compared with newer cars.
Comfort
Being a Ghia, has driver lumbar support which helps comfort. Also armrest in the rear impresses passengers.

Security
