None.
For the price (I paid $8888) it is easily the best car for the money.
Aside from a nice sleek styling, it is surprisingly comfortable. I owned a 1995 Escort and this is an upgrade in every respect.
The dash is well displayed. The engine is very peppy. It's best feature is the nimble power steering - I've owned 200SX, Neon, Mirage and Sentra and none began to compare to the handling of the new Escort.
The ride is tight without sway.
One major downside: it is a very noisy ride. I don't why Ford can't quiet the vehicle a bit. But I can overlook that as it is a small car.
I would say the only better cars in it's class are the Focus, Civic, Protege & Corolla - but they cost a lot more.
Where did you find a 2001 ZX2 for $8888.00? Please provide details!

I currently own a 2000 Dodge neon & have driven the 2001 Escort ZX2 for a considerable distance & I found it lacked a lot of things, like the little nooks & places to put things that my Neon has, not only that but the engine pulls very rough even while remaining steady on the gas.
My 2001 Ford Escort SE is awesome. I got as a "get-to-college" car, but I am finding that I may want to hold on to this beauty for an extender period of time.
Only problem I've seen (heard) is the noisy engine, but no problem!! I have a pioneer system and fully loaded the car, and guess what? The speakers can handle it. I got the top of the line with automaitc evreything so I would highly recommend anyone to buy a 2000 or higher Escort SE series.
