1998 Ford Escort SE Sedan review from North America
"Small, efficient, and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far no problems really. Had to change the battery when I first bought it. I got one warning ticket because whoever had the car originally did not wire the aftermarket cd player right. My taillights were out because of that.
General comments?
The car runs good; even after sitting for over a year. The car handles good, and gets good gas mileage. I get around 30-32 on backroads.
