2000 Ford Escort ZX2 S/R review from North America
"CHEAP performance - get one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far :)
General comments?
Well, I know that everyone has their problems, and that generally speaking, people don't usually come to these boards except when there is a problem so...
I have owned Fords since 1988 after I found the light and switched over from General Motors. This vehicle seems to hold up to the high standards that my other 3 Fords have. It is a very fun car to drive, and the performance parts really make a difference. It handles as well as my Mustang, which has a bunch of after-market frame stiffeners and various other performance goodies.
As far as the powerplant goes, it runs very well, but I did notice that it sounds like one of the exhaust shields is loose. Big deal... for the price I paid for it $12,700 tax, title out the door, I defy anyone to outrun me :)!
