    Cheap Ford parts and servicing. No major work after 192,000 miles.

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Feeling tired now with age, but still drives pretty well. No PAS makes it hard work in small spaces though.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    After 192,000 miles it doesnt have real potency, but still cruises well on the motorway at 85mph.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Trouble-free 160,000 miles since I bought it 6 years ago.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    All too common Escort, but then again its built for functionality and not image.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Comfortable, although seats are now starting to lose their supportiveness.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Has a basic alarm. Not really likely to be pinched though.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0
