1997 Ford Aspire 2dr hatch review from North America
"Wouldn't trade it for the world!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with my car. The only thing I have put into it is the general maintenance. You know like tune-ups. Which I do all by myself. It has NEVER been in the shop.
General comments?
In the years I have had my car, I can't complain at all. It is a very economical car. I love it. It's one of the best cars I have ever owned. Granted it doesn't go like a graped ape, but I don't need speed. Yes if you go over 70 miles an hour on the highway the motor will wind out. But if you treat it right and take care of it, it will treat you right. I could ask for a better car. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. My car goes back and forth from New York to North Carolina quite frequently, and has never given me any bit of problem. It has never stranded me either. Granted at first the steering took a bit of getting used to, since I am use to power steering. But being that it is so small you don't need power steering...
It's great.
