1994 Ford Aspire review from North America
"Recommend to anyone wanting the best fuel economy that is not a 3 cylinder. I bought 2!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the EGR valve, and leaky gas tank.
No other problems, just normal upkeep...plugs, struts, brakes, tires, etc., etc..
General comments?
Not a quick car but very reliable and maneuverable with great fuel mileage. I have stretched mine up to 53mpg!
Great cars for hydrogen retrofits too. I'm installing one.
The automatics get about 10mpg less, and they seem to suffer on the mpg in city driving, dropping as much as 14mpg.
Surprising room inside, but not much leg room for the driver.
Simple handy controls and shifter.
