Ford Escort Engines and Transmissions

Most cars here use a modest gasoline Ford Escort engine driving the front wheels through a manual gearbox, as with the 1.4 MT and 1.6 MT in the Cabrio or the 1.3 MT Sedan. Smaller units favour economy and city driving; larger ones pull more easily when loaded or on the motorway.
