Tweet Value 5 out of 5 Very good, for such little money you get a good looking car with lots of toys. Costs 4 out of 5 Parts and labour is as cheap as it gets, but the Zetec engine requires a bit of special treatment. Driving 3 out of 5 Quick enough, steering is responsive but not exactly fun to drive. Performance 3 out of 5 Certainly fast enough, fine on the motorway but could be a little quicker in the city. Reliability 4 out of 5 Not perfect but touch wood its never let us down. Starts instantly even in the coldest of mornings. Image 3 out of 5 Can look quite sporty with its spoiler and colour coded bumpers but its still an Escort. Comfort 3 out of 5 The ride is very fidgety especialy on bumpy roads, the handeling is not that great either.
