1998 Ford Escort SE review from North America
"'Til Death Do Us Part"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Serpentine belt broke
O2 sensor malfunctioned.
General comments?
This little green wagon has got to be this man's best friend. Twice across country and back and twice to Florida if I do 55 mph on the highways in cruise I get 50 mpg. The only thing that doesn't work is the motor that drives the passenger mirror. That is because a tree fell on the car and sheared off the mirror. I glued it back together and now I am in business. The car is comfortable and reliable.
