1996 Ford Aspire review from North America
"A waste of money in the long run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well many many many.... immediately the CV joint went out, I had an ignition problem, my speedometer has a popping which no dealer can figure out, the hood was not level. I am most unhappy that I can't find an Aspire on a dealer page, I have to look under its other name, the KIA Avella which has all of the same problems. I wish I had never bought the car. It was supposed to be an economy car.... Look at what I spend on repairs.
