Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Any 'E' reg Escort is now worth £200 tops. The RS2000 is one of these with a few frilly bits. They are old dogs that are over priced and 99% of the chance will have been thrashed.
Costs
High petrol costs, high insureance and lots of expensive bills.

On the road
Driving
They are old dated cars that were good in there day, but we are now in 2002. Bumpy, noisy, solid ride. Its a nasty car that has had its day. Its very uncomftable. Back ache is a must after every journey.
Performance
Quick car with lots of power. Shifts on the lights. Fun.

Poor. You need to have Thatham fitted, otherwise when you get up in the morning the car will not be there.
