1999 Ford Escort ZX2 S/R review from North America
"Great performer even stock for the $$$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing significantly has gone wrong.
General comments?
This limited edition of the ZX2 has a firmer suspension besides a lowered stance thanks to tuned Tokico struts and Eibach coil springs. With the addition of a larger rear sway bar (21mm) to replace the stock much smaller bar, and a high performance tire setup (I have Goodyear F1 GS-D3's), this front engined car handles exceptionally well with hardly any under-steer or "push" as you'd normally expect on a FWD vehicle.
