2000 Ford Escort zx2 SR review from North America
"A great Civic killer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the first 12000mi I have had the transmission replaced 2 times. At 24000mi I had the throw out bearing replaced. The molding on the window is starting to fade.
General comments?
I love this little car. My first 4cyl car that I have ever owned. this car has been beat to death. I have taken this car to various road courses around the east coast and it has impressed me every time. the best thing that they put in this car that is not well known is it has a fluid locking diff in the transaxel. so when you take off you're not spinning one wheel at the line.
