I bought a '93 Escort GT while my CSVT was down for a year. Oddly enough I regret selling it to fix the CSVT. I should have kept it and sold the CSVT after all repairs were done. Reliable as anything I've ever owned. Winter or summer it started like a champ. The A/C didn't work, and anything over 75mph was unsafe, but I never had a problem with it. $119/mo. for insurance is way better than the $266/mo. I pay now. (I'm 20 with a ticket and stuck with [censored] AAA)
