1996 Ford Aspire 3dr Hatchback review from North America
"Great gas economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I initially bought the car it I knew it was going to have to be repaired (Prior Rental). I had to have the front left tire rod, water pump with gaskets, oil pan gaskets, tune up, oil change, radiator flush, the works. The service was dirt cheap for the parts and labor. It was a total of $550.00 when it was said and done. The car runs like a charm. I drive it on the highway everyday, and it had enough power to hang on today's roadway's. Great gas mileage as well...
General comments?
This is a must buy for people who like to do there own repairs. I just bought the Chilton's Repair Manual on amazon. com and some tools. It is extreamely easy.
