2000 Ford Escort ZX2 from North America - Comments

"This is a car that is inexpensive, looks sharp, and can be depended on"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The air conditioner died early on right after the warranty was up (of course), but the Ford dealership fixed it at no charge.

I did have one of the belts break, but got that fixed.

Now, mine has the vibration that everyone has talked about, but my mechanic found that it was because 3 motor mounts were cracked. While waiting to save the money for the repair, I would put the car in neutral while at a light and the vibrating decreased dramatically.

General comments?

Overall, I have been very happy with the car. I wish the tires were a size that was a bit less expensive. I had a Celica before and those tires could be bought cheaper.

I love the look of the car: it's a 2000 model, and I hate the grill on the new ones... anyway, the car was inexpensive and I have been very satisfied.

You "hate the grill on the new ones"?

"new" being a relative term here. The only year the ZX2 had a grille was in its final year -- which was nearly seven years ago in 2003.
