1997 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"I love my purple Ford Escort to death. Hate to sell it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced brake pads (regular car service) (200$)
I replaced lamps in rear lamps
I changed a third light
And that's it!
I had one more problem, but that was because of my own fault. I put real bad gas in it once. And the car started loosing its power and demanded an injection cleaning.
General comments?
I bought this car a year ago with 97000 miles on it. With my excessive driving (I put around 30000 in less than a year) the car handled it very very good. I am extremely satisfied with this cute little car. I was driving to work, school, and giving a ride to my friends, and it all took nothing, but fun, not to mention it is great on gas. I could easily do 450 miles on one tank.
