It's the same reason that so many other Fords get so much hate; they don't have the right badge on them

the car has lay up in a field for literally 14 years! the laquer peeled off years ago and looks like a matt blue now! and the car was vandalised by myself and other cousins at a young age...and was only when i got really into fords, i realised what we done all the windows are smashed in and the once "mint" interior is now fucked!

it blew up and my uncle fired in a 1.8 derv, and it blew up a few weeks later, hence it being parked up!

So true, never got Xr or Rs status, so hardly anyone likes 'em.

Its still a ford even if it is an escort with a boot but most importantly it has a blue oval on the front you seem to be forgetting that.

An escort with a boot you say.. just like the mk1 & mk2 escorts you mean ?

Each to their own really though, i personally think the Sierra is the ugliest ford ever made, closely followed by the Focus, yet there's fuckin loads on here so it just shows that one persons opinion can differ quite widely, to the rest.
