1995 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"A good first car; cheap, and fairly reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Massive oil leak
Horrible heating system
Not very powerful at the get-go
Idles high even when warm.
General comments?
A really great first car. I owned 2 1995 Ford Escorts. One was auto and one was standard. The standard one drove much better then the auto.
This is a very economical car; you can get cheap tires, cheap parts (these cars are everywhere at auto wreckers), and most importantly, cheap gas!
A comfortable car, but not meant for tall people.
The doors often froze shut in the winter - I had to climb through the hatchback numerous times.
It was a good car until the motor blew up!
