1997 Ford Aspire 2 Door Hatchback review from North America
"Supercalafragalistickespealadoshuss!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Master cylinder went two weeks after I purchased car. I was told it would need to be replaced before hand. So I was well aware of the issue.
Had to put on new wipers, at about 85000 miles.
Check engine light came on at 92567 miles, it turned out to be minor muffler emission problem. It cost me $68.72 to fix plus $45.00 for labor.
General comments?
I LOVE my little red bomber!! I have traveled to and fro with her.
I've seen the Beautyful White Mountains (with no problems I might add with the ups and downs of the mountains). I've camped the gorgeous National Forest camp sites (yes in my car not in a tent as the seats lay all the way down).
I still get between 26 and 31 miles to the gallon!
I'm 48 yrs old and have had a few cars in my time, but none as good as my little red bomber!! I wouldn't trade her for any other vehicle (unless it was her brother or sister of course). She will be with me for life (that's her life).
