1993 Ford Escort LX Sport review from North America
"Very fast with a manual"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the rear sway bar bushings, tire leaks a bit (not relevant), clutch needs to be replaced.
General comments?
This is a really good car considering I bought it for 300 dollars.
I installed a kick ass stereo in it with sub and amp, so it pounds.
This car really rides nice and it's got surprising torque, and a fast, good reliable engine.
It never starts bad, the A/C works great, but it bogs the engine down really bad when you're driving though.
Overall a nice car, with a spacious interior. A good buy if you get it; a cheap, good starter car!
