Design features Ford Escort 4

Ford Escort has an original body shape and is quite distinct from similar cars. The body is two-volume, type "hatchback" or three-volume type "sedan". Easily transforms into a passenger-and-freight by folding forward the pillows and backrests of the rear seat. The car was a huge success until it was discontinued in 1990. The trunk of the car is considered the largest in the class of compact cars, and it can be significantly increased by tilting the asymmetrically folding back of the rear seat, and for easy loading, the upper edge of the side is located at the level of the bumper. The driver's seat allows even a driver up to 195 cm tall to sit in a comfortable position. The driver's seat impresses with its functionality. The car has excellent visibility, comfortable rear-view mirrors with adjustment, luminous switches, a fully visible body in the mirrors and a wide field of view.

Dynamic characteristics are quite favorable. The front drive wheels create high vehicle stability against side skidding. The coincidence of the direction of the traction force on the front drive wheels with the direction of movement of the wheels provides the vehicle with good handling, maneuverability and maneuverability, especially on slippery and icy roads. Ride comfort is ensured by the relatively long suspension travel and good shock absorbers. The car is easy to drive, has high dynamic and high-speed qualities. But the technique of driving a front-wheel drive car in adverse conditions has its own characteristics compared to a rear-wheel drive car.

The high performance of the car, its reliability and minimum labor intensity of maintenance largely depend on compliance with the rules of operation and care for it.
