1996 Ford Escort LX Sport review from North America
"Real efficient, fast off the line"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I think my heater coil is going... but that happens on all Fords after so many miles.
Hail damage... but all the cars except for the Volvo got it too.
General comments?
Well it looks pretty good and it's pretty fast off the line, for a 4 cylinder.
I put in it, two 10" Pioneer subs, a Jensen amp and a Pioneer in the dash. I got the sports package which included the aluminum alloy wheels, and the spoiler. It looks pretty tight.
One thing I don't like is top speed - it's only about 115.
Overall it's pretty slick and it's best use is in town pulling fast corners.
