1998 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Don't buy one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I've purchased this car, I've had problems with it overheating. It won't start sometimes and it makes a loud embarrassing screeching sound, which til this day I haven't been able to fix. If anyone has any idea what it could be.. .please help.
General comments?
This car has great horsepower (when it starts and is running), but it is highly unreliable... as you never know when it might or might not start.
