Fords
Nicola let me drive her car today - I was quite shocked actually! It's only a 1.6 Zetec powered Escort, but for some reason I was expecting a bit more poke from it, it was quite sluggish, bear in mind I'm comparing this to my 1.3 Ka which only has an 8valve engine that can trace it's roots back to the Ford Anglia! I guess it must be the different weights of the cars in question relative to the BHP but even so! It's a nice car though, quite liked it - but it's a Ford.

Yeah I know what you mean! My Escort is no quick mover! I suppose it has everything to do with the extra weight of the car compared to the Ka. I think those 8v engines will be phased out once the Ka finishes production. They no longer meet the EU emmissions criteria!
