1998 Ford Escort es sport review from North America

So far, the only things that have happened were the wiper motor quit working, it needed a set of tires and a front end allignment.

Driving this car is typical of driving a small commuter vehicle. Space is limited as is comfort, however for a four cylinder, pick up from a dead stop isn't bad, gas mileage is teriffic (I average between 26-28mpg city and 34-36 highway) Curves in this car were suprisingly fun. It handled very responsively with just a hint of understeer, suspension was a little soft for my liking, but nonetheless took the bumps very well. No cruise or tilt, and the transmission is a little slow in changing gears, but overall this is a fun car with, so far, excellent affordability and reliability.
