Thinking about trading in my Fiesta for an Escort or something in the summer, and was looking around on AT. Can someone tell me how it works, like what is the order of

Chincane
Cabaret
Flight
Encore
Ghia
Finesse
Zetec
.
.
.

etc

I had a google fest but can only find adverts and stuff, anyone know the whole line up and the order (lowest to best spec?) or got a link for me? I know that the Ghia is the best, and the Zetec is up there too, but where do the rest fall in?

Cheers
 
Theres only one escort id drive and thats a cossie. Maybe a mondeo would bea better bet? Or are you sure on the escort
 
No not sure, just wondering what I'm looking at when see certain models advertised, like if I see a 1.6 LX and a 1.6 Saphire, how do I know what the difference is. I'm not buying a cossie because I have about £1800 to spend and I'm 20 with 0 NCB. :p

If you want a ford at that price get a mondeo not a poopy escort.

You want if you can find in your budget a ghia x top model iirc.
 
mk1/2 mondeo spec (need fox here really) off the top of my head is:

special models- aspen etc
lx
glx
zetec
ghia
ghia x

you want zetec or higher really, its usually not much of a price difference between one with poverty spec in a crap colour than one in a 'right' colour with a few toys.
 
It really isn't a nice car - nasty plastic interior, noisy, appalling handling, etc

The Mk 4 Astra on the other hand is a nice car and cheaper than the Focus (poorer residules)
 
I just looked up a few Astra's, and did a quote on a 3dr 1.6 Envoy through Admiral, £500 less than for a 1.8 mondeo! That 1.6 Astra Envoy even had a spoiler on it, score. :)
 
get a mark2 2l mondeo ghia x, full leather aircon cd changer crusie control etc etc and you can get a decent one in your budget easily :)

Tom.
 
I have been looking to get a mondeo ghia x, should i really be too bothered about milage? What kind of milage / problems have people on here got ?

Cool, but get the 1.4 16V over the 1.6 8V

Same insurance group (group 4) but more power (89 vs 74bhp), quicker, more economical (40 vs 34mpg) and a much nicer engine :)

Ahh good to know, I made that mistake with my fiesta, I got a 1.3 over the 1.25, only to discover the 1.25 has more power and is more economical. :( Don't want to do that again.
