1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport review from North America
"I love this thing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The vents would close by themselves when the A/C was turned on.
When sitting at a red light, sometimes the car would stall out.
It started running like a whipped dog so I replaced the fuel injectors, then it ran fine.
The dealership basically refuses to fix anything.
General comments?
I love my little car.
It is very fast on the takeoff, I have put a few modifications on it.
I could not have asked for a better car.
