1994 Ford Aspire review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear bearings.
Keys warp constantly.
Hazard light started flashing one day and would not stop till battery was dead.
Headlights foggy.
Constant front brakes.
Rear defroster barely works.
General comments?
Ford practically gave this car to me. I got such a great deal on it, it was almost unbelieveable. A new car for $7000 with 25 miles on it! (LOL) I think it was because of the Pink color of it. The car had been on the lot for months and months, I know cause I looked for a car for a while before I bought this one.
I have to say the car hasn't been that bad. It's very slow I mean SLOW, course it is an automatic after all. General parts for this car are rather high such as wiper blades, that sort of thing.
The car overall is pretty good, it has about 125,000 miles and is still running good. I must say though the car is made pretty cheap, for instance my hubcaps have faded to an orange color and so has the door striping. The rear defrost has never really cleared the back window that well. The check engine light plays cruel jokes on me for no reason (according to Ford). Brakes go out a lot on the front but that may be my fault?? Anyway it's an OK car but I don't think I would buy another one. In fact I hope to trade this one soon for a new Geo Prizm or is it Chevrolet now??
