1994 Ford Aspire Base review from North America
"Great student car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mostly just problems with the struts. The back struts have been replaced twice and need to be replaced again. The front struts have been replaced once.
Battery has been replaced twice.
Front axle broke as I was driving home one day, front boots also needed to be replaced.
Brakes have been replaced once.
General comments?
Puddle jumper, excellent on gas.
Always starts, even on the coldest days.
Parts are usually expensive to replace.
I find it's better for driving in the city, rather than on the highway. It seems to shake a lot with the higher speeds.
It's a light weight car that sometimes feels out of control because it seems to jump all over the road.
