Living with it
Reliability
Does suffer from dodgy fuel inj relays and they munch c.v gators, but then again, what escort doesn't?
Image
Infinite body styling available, great for the Southend cruise (i should know!)
Comfort
Seats hold you in place. You can always fit '90 spec recaros.

Get an immobiliser and alarm - you'll need it (or just get it delocked).
