1993 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Good little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Has gone through brakes more than most other cars I have driven.
There are always little problems occurring, most have been with interior components.
The visors have broken, the seatbelt sensor has broken, and the key-lock alert will not turn off. (i.e. When there is no key in the ignition and the door is open with the lights off it still beeps.)
Have had many problems with the ventilation fan, mostly with the electrical contacts for it.
General comments?
Good little car. Handles really well.
I have not had any major engine problems, nor any problems with the frame or other major components.
Great mileage. I still get the 33mpg that Consumer Guide said it had back when it was new. (30/37 City/Highway)
