1996 Ford Aspire STRIPPED review from North America
"A cheap rip off from ford!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior falling apart, seats ripping, knobs falling off, headliner coming loose, door panels are discolored, speedometer wobbles and shakes.
Engine sounds like crap, transmission slips, cv joints are clicking, rear bearings roar like thunder, runs hot constantly.
General comments?
This is a cheap piece of crap, this shouldn't even be considered a car. It doesn't even have enough power to pull itself. Slides all over the road when its raining even with new tires. ANYTHING can dent this car, cheapest metal ever used on a car that's for sure. PARTS are WAY OVER-PRICED for a car in this class, they need to gather all these hideous things up and burn them all up.
