1998 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"The ZX2 is a zippy, safe ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater cable came loose at about 64,000 miles.
General comments?
Not the fastest car on the block, but reliable.
Saved my life in a T-bone crash; getting hit on the driver side door caved the door, but I didn't get even a scratch.
Perfect for college students with an interest in looking cool, but not so great for older drivers with more cash and more interest in power.
