1999 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"This car is a bargain $$ wise. Performance is a question mark as of now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It burns more gas than expected. I am getting about 20 miles per gallon. About the same that I get with my Nissan Pathfinder. I thought I would get at least 30 miles per gallon.
Has anyone else had this kind of issue with their Ford Escort ZX2? If so, what is the problem?
General comments?
The Ford Escort ZX2 is generally a good car. I have never owned a Ford vehicle before, so this is my first experience with it.
I have noticed that the engine while in idle shakes a little bit too much.
The car handles fast and "tight", I like it.
The lines and curves are very attractive.
