I wanted an Escort as well, but after looking at three (all around the £13-14K mark) I decided I wasn't going to risk it; all had problems to some degree. I'd heard before they're a minefield, now I realise why! I'll still have one at some point, although not untill I can afford to buy a really clean one!

The Focus is a great car though, I'm shocked at just how much attention it gets - even from super-car owners!

The traction bar kit pre loads the front arms so then reducing torque steer in the front wheels. It has been tested in PF magazine and it will reduce the 0-60 times of the FRS.
