1996 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"I enjoy driving it around town, but not on the highway! And I drive over 120 miles a day! (Highway)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had major problems with the speedometer, it wil bounce back and fourth on the highway. I changed the cable, and the whole instrament panel, still not fixed.
And the outer tie rod broke, so I had to change that, it was fairly cheap though.
And the car likes to vibrate at high speeds.
General comments?
I like the performance of my car, however I am going to insatll a performance racing computer chip to up my RPM's and give me more power.
