1997 Ford Aspire review from North America
"Low performance, not an economy car and an unreliable piece of equipment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the distributor and the cap were extremely expensive.
The car has left us behind sometimes.
Also, the engine is poor, and now it seems we need to rebuild the engine.
General comments?
Even with good care, Ford Aspire's are very unreliable, and the wear and tear is a lot more prevalent in this car than in any other vehicle I previously owned.
