1995 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Wouldn't trade it for anything!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has gone wrong in the car, is something in the ignition. Everytime I open the door, It starts doing that annoying beep it does when the lights are on. It was annoying at first, but I really don't hear it anymore.
General comments?
I actually do get a lot of comments on this car. I'm always being told its really cute, or some people tell me how "fast" they are. I don't think its too fast, but it can go.
Despite what other people have said, this car does have a lot of pep. I can easily get on the freeway and be up to 60 mph before I merge into the lane without even pushing the engine.
I raced a Honda Accord once, and I left that honda in my dust!
The engine does lose a lot of power when I turn on the A/C, so I usually drive with the windows down.
The car is very good on gas, and a good car to take on long distance trips. Its got a surprisingly good sized trunk that I can fit all my luggage in, and then some. And believe me, I'm not a light packer.
Personally, I think the Escort is the best car out there, even though its not the biggest, fastest or sportiest, it still rocks yo.
