Without an expensive rear beam a 4x4 escort will understeer round the roundabout. Converting them to 2wd completely eradicates the tendency to understeer; plus of course they will go sideways if that's what you want it to do! In the wet they are as useless as a saff or 3 door, but in the dry they drive SO much better!
