SVOMACH1 had this same car back in the day. It was a fun little buggy.

^I had a black one, IIRC it’s a Mazda engine in those, really fun ride.
That gen had the Ford 1.9L CVH SOHC engine, the "HO" version in the GT was multi-port EFI compared to throttle body injection (Ford called that CFI for central fuel injection) on the regular Escorts. The next generation cars starting in 1991 model year got the 1.9 EFI in the regular version, and a 1.8L DOHC 16V Mazda engine in the GT. Those were great little cars, I co-drove one in a 24 hr race at Mosport and the car was extremely reliable.
I had a 1991 Escort GT in Blue. 1.8L Mazda DOHC. Great car. Annoying automatic shoulder belts.
Yes those were awful! The Escorts of that gen were built in a few different assembly plants, and the regular spec cars that came to Canada had standard retractor belts. But because of the USA federal laws requiring cars sold there for 1990 model year and later needing to have either air bags or a passive restraint system, most 91-93 Escorts were built that way until they got air bags in 1994. I'm guessing that because of the low volume of GTs being sold here, they didn't bother to make a Canadian-spec GT interior.
^Worst part of that whole design was that only the shoulder belt was automated, so a lot of people forgot to buckle the lap belt, lol.
Mine was an ‘88, had a normal pull belt, not auto, car was clean but the deck lid edge was completely rotted off, lol.
