2000 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The paint job was real lousy and my car has "feathering"? ie: lots of small 1/2 mm cracks on the hood, top of car, and other small areas.
Many brake problems.
Bent frame after another car "bumped" into my rear end.
Mechanic friend agrees they are not easy to work on.
Window cracks easy "rock flew from a truck" second time happening. A nice big ole' crack. Cheap glass?
Not a very smooth ride.
General comments?
I would "NOT" buy another Ford car.
