Overall the Escort GT is a pretty good, economical car. The upkeep is pretty good if the car has been properly maintained. If you fall behind on the maintenance (or don't drive on a regular basis), rust may likely occur causing major wiring/grounding issues.Sep 12, 2011

In the end a good car with a strong engine (1.6). Had it for a month or so. Rare with a two doors configuration. Sold for almost nothing but sure it will last for years to come. Powersteering would have been nice...Jun 08, 2009

First Car I ever bought, '91 Escort LX (Even if the one in the stock picture is a GT model)
Never thought I wanted to own a hatchback, but it was a beautiful car, drove nice, Handled well. They were built for rally, so it took dirt roads well.
Bought the car with 400,00kms on it, and it still ran beauty... never had any major problems with it either. probably should have kept her on the road. still starts better than most the cars out there I see ;)Sep 02, 2008

This was my first "new" car, with only 50,000 mi. The second week I bought it, drove to Louisiana. Drove it a couple more times to LA before it kicked. I worked as a film runner, driving the car up and down a mountain all day. I ran it into a ditch and it never stopped running. I drove it to and from college, over two hours away, several times.
In 2002 it was starting to show its age. If I let it sit for more than a day the battery would die. It needed over $4000 of front end work, and there was some loud clicking sound in the motor by early 2003. The last day I drove it, I had to jump it off at the dealership, jump it again to swap the radios, and again to get back to the dealership. There are days I really miss that car.May 28, 2008

Much more than I expected out of $550.
The thing turns on a dime, brakes every time, and is easy on the wallet, getting a cool 38MPG. It has the single smoothest shifting I've ever seen, in any vehicle. With most of the suspension replaced over the past couple of years, the drive experience is just like coming off the lot.Apr 21, 2008

This is a great small car for anyone who needs a car that gets from point A to B and is easy at the pump. The car is lacking in the power department with only 88hp in it's 1.9L inline 4. However the car can go from a stop quickly with the 5 speed manuel transmission and once up to 55 it can hold its own. For the most part it handles well but lacks anti-lock brakes which can cause control problems in panic stops. Also the car is a little square in the appearance department inside and out and the lacking of airbags is a little scarey. It seats 4 but only 2 adults comfotablely. Overall its a great car for a daily driver with good gas milage but it's a little outdated. Mar 18, 2008

This car had few frills but lots of features, unlike any American made car I ever owned, this one started every time I turned the key. The back lifted during hard cornering, but it got great gas mileage, fit into tiny parking spaces, had room for four and never leaked! 1.9 liter engine gave it peppy acceleration, big fat tires made it stop quickly and evenly and the A/C and radio were just great.Mar 10, 2008

It was a decent car. It was somewhat sporty and quick, It drove fast and handled alright. But in the end it was just an Escort with a little more polish. All the sporty look made maintenance expensive and tires were high. It required specialized parts that were 3X the cost of the standard escort. Not a bad car but just didn't have the power,speed, comfort, to offset the high maintenance and price. Feb 07, 2008

Ford redesigned the Escort with Mazda (the counterpart is, I believe, a 323) in 1991, and gave the GT model a real engine, a high-revving 1.6-liter 16-valve twin-cam four that had 127 horsepower (17 more than the standard 1.8-liter four) coupled with a five-speed. The result was a car that performed better than any Escort to that point, although, like most four-valve-per-cylinder engines, finding the horsepower required standing on the gas.
The two-door Escort was an exceptionally well designed car for the money. Seating was comfortable for even tall people in the front, with very nice six-way buckets. An upgraded suspension and aluminum wheels on Goodyear GT+4 radials were included, as were a front and rear spoiler and the most useless fog lights you've ever seen. For a small two-door car, it also had a decent amount of carrying capacity, with fold-down rear seats and a hatchback.
