1992 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a lot of things. Mainly rust would grow fast, but I live in Canada and we have terrible winters.
The car's direction often had to be aligned.
Weak heating system. Shook and rattled a lot while driving, but again, bad Canadian roads!
General comments?
Highly reliable!!! Never failed to start in the 2 years I've had it.
Would recommend it to anyone, but as always, pre-buy inspection is never a luxury! Extremely economical overall, but then again I've never had to repair it too much.
