1994 Ford Escort LX 1.9 4 cylinder

Summary:

It's okay since it runs smoothly except for when it cuts out at red lights

Faults:

It eats and drinks up all the oil.

Too small.

It makes a loud noise when it accelerates.

It takes forever to accelerate.

When driving over 50mph on a highway, it feels loose and wobbly.

My air conditioner doesn't work even though it's only 6 years old.

My engine cuts out when I wait at long stop light, might be something wrong with fuel pump.

General Comments:

Other than that, it's a great car for someone who's young and a first-time buyer.

Also, great for someone who's single with no kids.

I also had the problem with my Ford Escort LX. It cut out at the red light. It turned out that one of the hoses (L-shape) had a hole in it, the area where it bends. I put in a good used replacement from an auto salvage.

I did most of it myself and car idles great, about a year later.

Total cost: $9.00.

1994 Ford Escort LX 1.7

Summary:

Great first car, gets you from A to B

Faults:

When I bought it the dash light did not work, but the dealer fixed it for free.

The original battery lasted until I hit 134000km.

Great on gas.

Cheap on insurance.

Automatic seat-belts took some time to get used to.

The locks freeze up pretty quick on a cold day.

General Comments:

My mom has a 1997 LX and she loves it too. Never a problem.

1994 Ford Escort LX 1.9L inline 4

Faults:

Normal wear and tear. My dad locked his keys in it one time and broke the lock trying to get them out. Other than that, nothing.

General Comments:

This is a great car. Performance and gas mileage are excellent. Very comfortable to ride in and drive. I ran into an air conditioning unit once and all the car got was one little insignificant dent. We bought this car new in 1994 and it has run flawlessly for 6 years. It will be a very long time before we buy a new car. In all likelihood this car will last forever with almost no upkeep.
