2000 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Inexpensive starter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 28k, found out transmission cooler lines are leaking and will need replaced because they are too rusted through. I was told by 2 mechanics that these parts should last the life of the vehicle.
Also at 28k had to replace front brake pads and have rotors resurfaced.
Both rear emergency brake cables will also need to be replaced, due to them not "releasing" once the emergency brake is taken off.
General comments?
Overall, a fairly reliable car.
Pickup not the greatest, but will do.
