1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Hot Sport review from North America
"Bang for the buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor problems with front braking fixed with TSB. That's it.
General comments?
This car rules. Ford should continue manufacturing this model and give it an upgrade in the future. The Focus ZX3 is not a suitable replacement.
