1995 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side CV axle.
General comments?
I bought this car because it was all I could afford, when I bought the car I didn't expect it to be any good because, after all, it was a Ford. I had a wonderful time with my Geo that I had before, but so many miles and the engine was worn so I had to get this Escort.
At first I was scared to even press on the gas because I heard that Escorts always fell apart, after awhile nothing went wrong "knock on wood", then one day I started really giving it some gas and I realized this car was as good as any Honda out there and it had good pep too.
I love the power options that the car has, the A/C is excellent and so is the heat.
The seats are firm and comfortable, the ride is smooth. I enjoy the car and would recommend it to anyone.
The only thing I find wrong with this whole thing is that the local Ford dealership is quite rude and their prices are outrageous.
