    The car is a treat to drive. The power steering is not too light, the throttle pedal doesn't require any significant pressure and revs as soon as you move it.

    Performance

    1600i twin cam is up to the job.

    It doesn't look much like a 5 door Escort - in fact it doesn't look much like anything else on the road. Great looking car.
