1994 Ford Aspire 3-door hatch review from North America
"I'd buy another one in a heartbeat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust repair at 80K miles.
General comments?
It's a shame that this car isn't just made forever.
It's comfortable, efficient, inexpensive, and will go 65 mph all day long.
Outstandingly comfortable transmission -- always secure and accurate shifting.
REALLY comfortable driving seat for short to average-height people.
And the purple is completely fabulous. People constantly ask me how new the car is, and they're amazed when I tell them it's 12 years old. The car has taken its given name (Raspberry) from the color, and people smile when they see it.
I'll drive this car until they don't make unleaded gasoline any more.
