1991 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Inexpensive and WORTH EVERY PENNY!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Alternator went 3 times within 5,000 miles. This was due to faulty Die-hard equipment.
I had to replace headlight, taillight, and interior dome bulbs,
I had to replace driver's visor
Only real money spent on the car was 60K maintenance and new tires and brakes (not a reflection on the car at all)
The only thing is it is possible that the transmission is going out, but given this vehicles pristine record for reliability, I am guessing that it is a simple loose screw.
General comments?
I absolutely LOVE THIS CAR. It is a very reliable and wonderful car. I plan on my next car being a Ford Focus because I am quite happy with what this car has done for me.
