2000 Ford Escort ZX2-R review from North America
"FORD = Fall Off Road Dead!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oh boy! Owning this car for almost 10 years from brand new...
Power steering shot at 30,000.
Tranny went at 60,000.
Both oxygen sensors shot at 80,000.
Tranny shot AGAIN at 100,000.
All tierod ends and parts that hold all that crap went every 30,000.
Head gasket and radiator went about every 40,000 miles.
Seats are worn bad.
I would NOT buy this model again... but I would buy another model.
General comments?
For the most part, if you have the money to fix this car ALL the time, it can be a very nice car.
