1998 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Good car for someone that doesn't have much money, but wants a sport car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is now a dent in the upper right of the car.
Finally, it needs new tires after 10 years of driving.
Also, it finally needs new brakes.
It is now grinding (where car was hit).
General comments?
It will take right off faster than a new Acura (and other sport cars that are new).
I haven't had to perform many repairs on the car, even after 10 years or so.
