We ran a 1.8 Zetec (escort estate Si) for a while. Apart from the fact that you must service the thing carefully (get the right oil and change the cam belt often...) they are bloody good engines.

As to the rest of Ford cars...... umm.. yeah...

Build quality is shit. They rattle. They are cheap fleet cars.

Score a good long test ride. I have had the focus on rental serval times and no complaint. My mate however recons the seats are hard and uncomfortable. (But he's a VW fan..)

But you ask about the engine. Its a good 'un.
