1990 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"A good beginning car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced brake pad on front passenger side.
I replaced battery when it went dead.
I still need to fix the valve cover gasket because it is screwed on too tightly and leaks oil.
Belt gets in the way of getting Pizza bags in and out of car on deliveries.
The light behind Radio display does not work.
General comments?
I like my 1990 Ford Escort LX!
It gets me around, it's nice and compact, and the clutch is very forgiving! This is a good car to learn how to drive a stick on!
I hated Fords before I bought this one, and now I love them!!!
