1993 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"A bargain that I will have a hard time finding again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver side window motor failed and was replaced at 95000 miles.
The A/C evaporator was replaced at 137000 miles.
The air flow sensor was replaced at 167000 miles.
The struts and shocks were replaced at 173000 miles.
The wheel bearings were replaced at 182000 miles.
General comments?
To date the total cost of the vehicle is less the US $.17 per mile. The costs include purchase price, insurance, fuel and maintenance.
My daily commute is 120 miles per day which I have been doing since Jan of 1999.
The care is quick and handles well in tight spaces.
Parking is never a problem with this vehicle.
To date the car gets better than 31 miles to the gallon.
