Why buy a used Ford Escort?
Ford Escort was one of the most popular Ford models in the UK market in the 1990s. Even after its production ended in 2000, it is still a popular small family car. The Escort is practical and frugal, keeping up with the Ford mantra that marked its heydays, 'simple is efficient'.

Used Ford Escort information
Used Ford Escort FAQ's
How spacious is the Ford Escort?
The final models of the Escort hatchback are roomier than their counterparts. They have sufficient legroom for tall drivers, but passengers at the back might get cramped legs in case of long rides. The Escort has more than adequate interior cargo space, especially for a compact vehicle. The folding rear seats leave enough storage space for the average family shopping, but the cargo room is slightly more in its replacement, the .
Is the Ford Escort safe to drive?
Ford Escort falls short in terms of safety compared to the later car models in the same category. The 1995 model scored 2 out of 5 stars in , having only the front driver's side airbag as a standard and an optional airbag for passengers. While this is low going by current safety standards, it was considered good in its time for a mid-90s car. Even models produced after 2000 received similar scores, including the , and
Which engine option is the best?
If you opt for the newer versions of the Escort, you need to choose between petrol and diesel engine units. The former is more efficient, tough and economical, although slightly coarser than the diesel turbo unit. For older Escorts, 16-valve 1.6i and 1.8i options offer satisfactory performance even though the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine in the fire-breathing RS Cosworth delivers more power.
What is the running cost of a used Ford Escort?
Ford Escort remains popular because of its low running costs. While age may increase the frequency of repairs, the spare parts are economical and readily available. In terms of fuel economy, tests before the new standards showed a fuel economy ranging between 27-49 mpg. As fuel consumption reciprocates fuel economy, Escort drivers benefit from cost savings due to good fuel efficiency.
Is the RS Cosworth an Escort?
Escort RS Cosworth came into production in 1992 as Ford's most flagship rally challenger and a supercar for private buyers. Famous for its 16-valve engine, 4-wheel drive and a whale-tail tailgate spoiler, the demand was so high that it became a classic car by the end of its production in 1996. Even though the Cosworth bears the Escort badge, it is mechanically not an Escort. It has the same running gear and chassis as the clothed with Escort body panels only for styling.
Which model is a suitable alternative for the Escort?
The Ford Escort was withdrawn from the market to leave room for the , making it the closest alternative. It comes with the latest safety technologies, more advanced features and a satisfying fuel economy. As expected, the Ford Focus has a higher price tag. Finding an Escort alternative isn't easy since the Escort cut several categories, including the 1.6 petrol and 1.8L turbo diesel, before finally ceasing production in its final overhaul 2 years after the Ford Focus was released.
