The Escort is one of the few cars I utterly detest with a passion. Don't let me drive it, I've never actually managed to drive one without crashing it (excluding the proper Mk1/MkII). Its so desperately bad, it makes the dire Focus look like a good car.
And in a ragtop... ...are you trying to tell us something? ::) ;D

Typical symptom of a duff ford Fuel gauge!! ;)

Looks good for the money,though it must be said not my kind of thing,but hey whatever floats your boat.Last good car Ford made[to me anyway]was MK1 Granada,particularly the Ghia coupe.But back to the Escort,Ithought when they were new,and I still think so,that the wheels/tyres look as though they belong on a different car,they're way too small!!Or is that just me?The Ka had what was basically an updated 1.3 Kent pushrod engine,the StreetKa[the soft top model]had a 1.6 to cope with the extra weight and was I'm told quite thirsty because of it.
