The Ford Escort Mk4 Was Good Enough To Stay On Top (1988 1.3 L Road Test)

WIN with Lancaster Insurance: https://bit.ly/44qSTFz
After the front-wheel drive Mk3 Ford Escort managed to retain its spot as Britain's best-seller, the facelifted Mk4 had it all to do in the face of the Vauxhall Astra, Volkswagen Golf and Japanese competition. With modernised styling, a new interior, more fuel efficient engines and more powerful XR3i and RS Turbo variants to challenge other hot hatchbacks, was the Mk4 good enough to keep Ford at the #1 spot?
