1987 Ford Escort Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are quite passionate about their 1987 Ford Escort, particularly for its performance and sporty look. Many owners appreciate the car's handling, acceleration, and modifiability. However, a few noted that the interior could use some improvement, and comfort might not be top-notch on longer drives. The low insurance costs and decent fuel economy were also highlighted positively compared to other cars."
This is my pride and joy. My 1987 Ford Escort XR3I Cabriolet 1.6 MFI. It handles predictabley well and has been completley de-chaved. This is in original condittion with even the original cassette stereo that came with it. It has almost every concievable extra that was provided by the showroom! :)
August 12, 2009this car is has blazing speed and acceleration! it's handling is unlike any other! it is a beautiful car inside and out. i've owned this sweet ride for almost a year now and i've never stopped loving it. it has only needed new tires and i got some sick ones.
July 20, 2008I own a Ford Escort xr3i, its the second one ive owned so that gotta say sumthing... its the bollox!! the best looking car ever built! The Performance is great, its got great handling, its very quick off the mark and the braking is spot on. My car is 21 years old so obviously it has had sum work. but the xr3i has always been a favorite with racers and its almost impossible to find a mint xr3i with no work done to it, be it cos of needing work, or just cos its been modified, like mine has. The interior isnt the greatest of interiors and im hoping to kit it out with full leather recaros in the future, but at the moment, its still got the original interior. and the exterior, well, like i said, the best looking car ever made! I swapped my xr3i for my old BMW 520i se, and its sooo much cheaper, insurance has gone from 130 a month, to 48 a month, 10quid in the tank can last upto 4days where as the beemer, 10 quid would me to the other side of town and back just once, which isnt far!! my xr3i is defiantly more fun to drive than the beemer, but cos its an old car, it isnt the most comfotable of drives, and its been lowered too so it can be very bumpy!! Overall.... If u want a boring, expensive, but comfy ride, get a BMW, if ya want sumthing that ur not gonna get bored of easily and u can mod as much as u like, get an xr3i!!

January 18, 2008Manual transmission, I had the Oakley Thermonuclear Protection craze going on with a huge sticker on the back window and reflective Oakley stickers on the door handles. It was "sporty", not a aports car. It was "quick" but didn't accelerate that fast. But it looked the part for the time. Yeah, I'mnot really a Ford person, but I liked it.
