General Comments
I have owned my 1990 flamebeam Red/Nimbus silver Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet for just over 10 months, since i've owned it i've had nothing but problems with it.
It cost me £1500 with 3 months mot and no tax,
It cost my mum £500 to insure it,
My stereo blew up and that was £250 down the drain and it was vandalised. Now i've just bought a vauxhall cavalier with a full GSI bodykit with a sony xplode 10 disc cd changer for £150 so i'm scrapping the escort. If anyone would like the engine or whatever just leave me a comment and i'll get back to you.

all the points you have made are to do with factors that arent to do with the actual car, vandalised - wasnt because it was an escort, no tax - not to do with the fact its an escort, maybe you could write a more useful review in future

hi, on top of each door you have a rubber cap to stop water coming in when the door is shut (where the roof meets the windscreen the cap sits just then on top of the door itself. minor item but you try getting hold of one, if you still have the car, i would appreciate this item.
