1994 Ford Aspire SE review from North America
"Cheap, Slow, and Good on Gas..that's about it."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Numerous items nothing that wouldn't have went wrong with any other cheap small car.
I did notice though that sometimes recently the tachometer will stick and the speedometer is really screwed up it bounces all over the place very bothersome.
General comments?
The red paint has faded the spoiler has a slight crack and I don't think the fog lights work anymore, but I wouldn't say that for sure since I can't remember the last time I even tried to switch them on. I find myself feeling quite silly at times riding around in a small powerless econo box with a massive rear spolier and fog lights, not to mention the alloy wheels that have faded to a dull grey. The real fun starts when you try and find parts for this car and if you do find them wait until you see the PRICE!! No wonder since Ford didn't make this little wonder it's a Kia that's right folks "korean" made... and they made this when there were a crap company its not like it is now since Hyundai bought them out and everything they have is a rebadged Hyundai no this little car was a Kia product over seas call the Avella. At any rate I guess the car hasn't been that bad besides the cheap materials they built it with, it seems a feather could blow against it and make a dent in the doors.. oh, and that reminds me if you find a place that has a key blank go ahead and make several copies because you will need them.
