1996 Ford Aspire Base review from North America
"Hate to get rid of it when time comes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major as of yet.
Seats have worn thin.
Replaced the timing chain at 75000 miles.
Replaced brakes often, could be the way wife drives.
General comments?
Over all a very good car too bad ford stopped making it.
Great gas mileage 40-42 miles per gallon.
Suprisingly quick for such a small engine.
